1. Stay healthy. Get rest, eat well and maintain your exercise routine. Basics of a happy and healthy life work well to promote good Social Media.
2. Schedule the remainder of the year now. “Bank” posts and tweets so that you can have free time and holiday fun while still not neglecting your website/blog and Twitter. Plan your Facebook status updates as well. Don’t forget to add photos and videos that make your content engaging.
3. Decide which days to stay engaged. I firmly believe that Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are generally most important for posting and comments. With long weekend holidays in December, however, I’ll suggest that Tuesdays and Wednesdays will be the key days to participate in Social Media.
4. Practice social media generosity. Comment on and complement others and see how you can help them. Remember these come back ten-fold.
5. Define your 2010 Social media plan. If you haven’t done so already, the down-time of the holidays is the perfect opportunity to plan your 2010 Social Media road map.
6. Let yourself embrace the holidays. It’s only once a year and the rest of the Social Media world will be taking time off too.
I look forward to your comments and hearing about your Social Media holiday plans.
Enjoy the holidays!
