I know it’s the holidays, and the need, want, or will to post just isnβt there. Youβve got other things on your mind, and I get itβI really do.
But DO NOT STOP the momentum you already have going (on whichever platform) just because itβs the holiday season. Donβt use the holidays as an excuse to let your visibility fade.
Hereβs why:
β Consistency is king. Social media algorithms thrive on regular activity. When you go silent, your audienceβand the algorithmβmay take longer to notice when you're back.
β People are still scrolling. Your audience may have extra downtime and is more likely to consume content while relaxing. (Hint: they're avoiding their families by doom-scrolling.)
β Now is your chance to stand out. Many people take a break, so the content pool is smaller. This means your posts have a better chance of grabbing attention.
This is where planning your content comes in. Use that handy-dandy scheduling tool here on LinkedIn (the clock next to the post blue button) to batch and schedule your posts in advance. That way, you stay visible while enjoying the holidays without stressing over what to post.
β¨ Bonus Tips:
-- Repurpose your top-performing content from earlier this year. A little hashtag#throwback magic works wonders.
Remember, your personal brand doesnβt take vacationsβit keeps working for you. So, schedule, stay consistent, and keep building momentum, even while youβre sipping cocoa or ringing in the new year.
Whatβs your plan to stay active on social media over the holidays?
Deuces,
