Understanding the algorithms behind social media platforms
To make sure you are getting the most out of each social media network, you have to learn about every aspect of it and ensure you have a good understanding of how each platform’s algorithm works.

But every business is unique, and every audience is different. How people use each platform is not the same, either. Set up an experiment where you change your posting frequency on each platform every week. Then, based on the statistics provided by the analytics, you’ll know what works for you.
