Go live
You should always take out some time from your busy schedule to interact with your followers. Live sessions are worth more because a post can be read later but live session is once in blue moon. So, your followers will try not to miss it. Listen to their queries and try to solve them at as soon as you can (reasonably). Ask them if they have any recommendations in mind. Apply them if you feel appropriate about those recommendations. If you fulfill their needs they will choose you over some other guy who is in the same business. Always be positive to them and never take their harsh words seriously. Be polite every time.
Focus
You should always remain focused on your social media presence. More channels means more content, so try to work on one channel before adding another. Then identify what works for you and run with it rather than making things difficult for yourself.
Hash tags
Always try to use a unique hash tag. It should not be random and repetitive. It should be easy to remember, small and interesting. Use them in your posts for marketing. You can also take help from sites like social mention, sprout social and Wipro.
