Maximum 1 post per day. Facebook is highly visual and community-oriented – think quotes, photos, visuals that make you approachable and human. Maximum 1 post per day. LinkedIn is a professional networking site – think content that relates to business, leadership, industry trends, etc. Twitter is considered “microblogging” so there is no hard and fast rule for maximum posts.

WORD ON THE STREET AT HD VEST
“Social media has allowed
me to discover new
opportunities emerging in
my connections’ lives,
which have led to new
business and deeper
relationships with existing
clients.”
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY
“A client got my information from my
Facebook Business Page and sent me
an email about taxes and investing. I
just set up an IRA transfer and a
brokerage account transfer for more
than $600,000 in assets as a result.
“When we ask how new
clients found us, the
majority say it’s through
the internet.”
“My Hearsay Social and FMG accounts work
together to create a high-impact digital presence.
A new client came in ready to sign the documents,
without me calling her, because she had already
done all her research online.”
