1. Be yourself
The key to success is authenticity. When you genuinely enjoy what you do, it is reflected through your posts and engagement on Twitter and Facebook.
2. Keep it short, sweet and awesome
By creating concepts that are headlines in themselves such as “Celebrate the creativity of our city! Culture Days” You are posting simple, eye-catching content that is easily shareable.
3. Don’t just link
Some people use their social networking sites to post links lots and lots of links. Relevant links are great, but it’s not enough. Use the link as a way to highlight your expertise and opinions - all the while promoting yourself.
If you find a great article about a topic in your field of interest, instead of just tweeting the URL, post the URL with your thoughts. What is the best part? Are there statements made with which you disagree? Can you give a real-world example of some concept the article discusses?
4. Dress it up with multimedia
Sometimes, visual images stick in a person’s mind more than words do. Today’s social networking services make it easy to dress up your posts with more than just text!
Are you an artist posting about a recent project? Add a few photos taken in the studio. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what’s a video worth? Want to promote your songwriting talents? How about a video showing a clip of your latest melody?
5. Follow
Follow the leader? Nah, follow your following. Following back is not only a nice gesture, but also when someone starts following you; you want to know what they’re all about.
6. Put your Twitter handle in your email signature

7. Tag Culture Days

8. Put a custom banner on your website or blog

9. Link your activity page through Facebook and Twitter

10. Timing
Posting regularly is important, but it’s just as important not to over-post. It’s much better to space them out throughout the day, so that your followers and friends don’t get overwhelmed or lose interest in what you have to say after seeing several posts in a row from you. Facebook, for example, will hide some of the posts in your friends’ feed if there are many in a row from the same person, so they might not even see them all if they don’t explicitly click the link to see more.
