It\u2019s important to branch out in order to reach as many potential clients as possible. Simply updating some social media profiles once per week is fine. In addition to Facebook and Twitter, here are some social media websites you should consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/\"><strong>LinkedIn<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 If you haven\u2019t yet opened a LinkedIn profile, it\u2019s time to do so. This is a professional site, so make sure that your posts on this site are polished and professional in tone.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themuse.com\/advice\/4-reasons-you-yes-you-should-be-publishing-on-linkedin\">The Muse<\/a> reported, your insights will show up on your profile, which can be impressive to your professional contacts and potential recruiters as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pinterest<\/strong> \u2013 Not only can you make photo pin boards of all the place you want to go, you can also make boards that are relevant to the type of writing you wish to do. To use Pinterest, simply download the Pinterest add-on to your browser.Then, any time you are on a website that has content relevant to you or audience, you can click on the Pinterest icon to add your desire picture to one of your Pinterest boards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Google+<\/strong> &#8211; While Google can\u2019t quite hit a homerun with its attempts for social networking, this site seems to be enduring, and you can easily post short, professional posts about what\u2019s going on in your career. To post on Google+, simply go to your profile.There will be a blank area in the middle of the screen that asks, &#8220;What&#8217;s new with you?&#8221; You can click the options beneath to share text, photos, links, videos, events, or polls with your followers. It is very easy to use, but be sure to keep posts succinct since it&#8217;s a social media platform like Facebook where shorter posts are generally welcomed by followers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tumblr<\/strong> \u2013 As a hybrid between a blog website and a social media platform, Tumblr allows you to write longer posts that will help showcase your talents to potential clients. To write a Tumblr post, simply log in at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/\">Tumblr<\/a> website.Much like Google+, it then presents you with the opportunity to click on icons to get your post started. You can chose to share text, photos, quotes, links, chats, audio, or video. <strong>Since Tumblr is considered to be a blog platform, long posts are welcome and accepted there<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Be Informative Yet Succinct in Your Profile<\/h2>\n<p>Be sure to fill out your social media profile. When a potential client clicks on your social media page, they should be able to read about you.<\/p>\n<p>Fill out the About sections with a brief, professional, and interesting biography of yourself. Your profile shouldn\u2019t come off as if you were trying to peddle your services.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-12277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crowdcontent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/social-1206610_1280-620x482.png\" alt=\"Image showing informative profile\" width=\"620\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crowdcontent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/social-1206610_1280-620x482.png 620w, https:\/\/www.crowdcontent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/social-1206610_1280-320x249.png 320w, https:\/\/www.crowdcontent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/social-1206610_1280-1170x909.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.crowdcontent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/social-1206610_1280.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Instead, the profile should inform followers of who you are and what your interests are.<\/p>\n<h2>Create Original Posts<\/h2>\n<p>Many social media users simply re-post and share the posts that others create. The creators of the shared posts usually appreciate this, and it\u2019s a nice touch.<\/p>\n<p>However, potential clients may assess your profile to see the types of original content that you are consistently creating.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A page that\u2019s full of simply sharing the originality and creativity of others isn\u2019t likely to make someone want to work with you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Keep Politics Off Social Media<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to rant and rave about the politicians you hate the most, it\u2019s better to call up a sympathetic friend than post them to Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>If you must post that stuff to social media, have a separate account that isn\u2019t under the name you use for publishing your work. You will likely work with clients of all political persuasions, and even those who share your beliefs may be turned off by angry rants.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, <strong>keep in mind that the eyes of your potential clients could be on any public post you made<\/strong>. One of the best ways to attract new clients on social media may simply be to filter your posts carefully, and only share things that are of value to your followers.<\/p>\n<p>When in doubt, look at the pages you most enjoy, and find inspiration to create your own posts from the types of content you enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any tips and tricks for how to get clients via social media?
