Make a Pinterest board that covers all these topics and create a schedule based on the findings above.

 • Target 28, 118, or 385 interactions for each Facebook post. According to Social Bakers, social media pages with up to 9,999 fans need 28 interactions per post; those with 10,000 to 99,999 fans need 118, and those with 100,000 to 499,999 fans need 385. 

 Interactions refer to shares, comments, and likes in total. The more interactions your post gets, the wider its reach. Monitor your 

   Facebook page using these benchmarks.

 • There are 6 unique conversation networks on Twitter. These are the following: 

 a. Polarized crowds, which discuss polarizing topics, such as politics, and do not interact with groups they are in disagreement with; 

 b. Tight crowds, which usually consist of professionals, conferences, or hobby groups that interact about ideas, opinions, and information; 

 c. Brand clusters, which discuss celebrities and products that are of mass interest but with minimal connectivity; 

 d. Community clusters, which discuss popular topics and global news events and are often disconnected from each other; 

 e. Broadcast network, which usually consists of the loyal followers of pundits and media outlets who have little interaction with each other;

 f. Support networks, which are created as government agencies, organizations, and companies respond to customer queries, requests, and complaints, with the company or organization replying to disconnected users. 

 If you want brand engagement, target the community clusters and tight crowds, and possibly the support networks. Find the Twitter network that suits you best.
