Infographic: Should Your Social Media Strategy Follow The 4-1-1 Rule?

Does your company follow any rules of thumb for its social media strategy?

If not, maybe it needs the 4-1-1 Rule, which explains how often a brand should balance stock and flow content on social media.

The rule states that for every one self-serving tweet, post, or update, a brand should share four new pieces of content and one re-share, explains Business Insider. By following this, brands will hopefully keep a conversation going without being pushy.

The term was coined by Andrew Davis of Tippingpoint Labs and Joe Pulizzi, founder of Junta42 and The Content Marketing Institute.
