The Social Media Industry is Changing Rapidly: Here's How You Can Stay Ahead

Social media marketing is frequently the most turbulent field in the already fast-paced field of digital marketing. Managing multiple social networks for your brand makes it easy to fall behind because social media changes quickly.

With 4.7 billion social users (up 227 million in the last year), failing to adapt to the latest social media trends means missing out on a sizable audience. Here are some of Fifth & Cor's best tips for staying on top of the changes.

Keep Up with Social Media Updates:

The channels will be the most authoritative source for recent social media changes. Individual networks frequently receive significant updates. You can easily track changes on their brand accounts or email newsletters, from new features to algorithm updates.

TikTok shares updates via the TikTok Newsroom and a Creators Newsletter, while Instagram features announcements on its product and business blogs. LinkedIn's Pressroom keeps users updated on the latest business news, whereas Pinterest's Newsroom does the same for the inspirational, visual network. Staying informed via these direct sources ensures you have the most up-to-date information on social media changes as they are announced.

Work with influencers and content creators:

Social media platforms are the primary source of business and income for many influencers and content creators. It is their job to keep up with changes and social media trends. Furthermore, creating engaging content is the difference between success and failure. Influencers must be updated on the latest developments in their primary channels. As a result, influencers can be a valuable resource for your brand.

These content creators have a large following. And these fans can help you expand your brand's audience. You'll also learn about the types of content that are most effective right now due to recent social media changes. For example, SproutSocial's Ultimate Guide to Influencer Marketing is a great place to start when developing or building your influencer strategy.

Collaboration with a Marketing Team

Marketing firms, like content creators, must stay on top of new features and social media trends affecting the top channels. The good news is that you can take advantage of your marketing team's digital marketing and social media expertise. By offering advice or recommendations on content formats, hot topics, and even new channels. With this knowledge, you'll be better prepared to develop an informed strategy based on these trends and updates. You'll also have more time to devote to creating compelling posts, social ads, and all other aspects of digital marketing.

Social Media Experts to Follow on Social Channels:

Another resource you should not overlook is social media experts. They can provide you with up-to-date information and recommendations on social media trends and strategies, which are essential for marketing.

These industry leaders are often the first to notice changes in social media before they are officially announced. As a result, creating a platform based on their social knowledge is critical for your brand. These experts can be found on LinkedIn, Instagram, and even TikTok.

Of course, Twitter remains the most up-to-date source of social news and trends.

Kim Garst provides more comprehensive social media updates and tips. Pam Moore, Michael Stelzner, and Dan Zarella should be near the top of your list of people to follow. Furthermore, Viveka von Rosen is a LinkedIn thought leader, and Mari Smith is a Facebook thought leader, among many other social experts you can learn from on Twitter.

Keep an Eye on Social Media Trends

Trends are unavoidable in social media, whether you like them or not. Furthermore, they are an essential factor in your success on these channels. Everything is included in these trends.

They can be found in everything from the most recent audio, and challenges on TikTok and Instagram to popular meme formats shared on Twitter and LinkedIn. Trends can include image size and type, video content length, rising hashtags, and other technical factors.

Most social media platforms simplify seeing the most famous content and topics in real-time. Twitter's Explore feature, for example, highlights trending themes, which can be further refined by creating your own Twitter lists.

Instagram and Tiktok both have "Explore" sections built into their apps. Using this feature, you can quickly see the most popular content and incorporate trends into your strategy.

Utilize Multiple Platforms

Not limiting yourself to a single platform is sound marketing advice in general. It is, however, the most critical aspect of a successful social media strategy. You'll eventually find one channel that works best for your brand and audience.

While prioritizing that channel makes sense to some extent, you will miss out on entire audience segments if you do not use other social media platforms.

Managing multiple social channels requires staying organized. Even more so, if you don't want to post the same content on various sites, even if the posts have the same focus, each should be tailored to the channel and your target audience.

Social media management tools can assist you in keeping this aspect of digital marketing organized while keeping the content fresh and effective in each location where it is shared.

Keep an Eye on Your Rivals:

Competitors are an incredible resource for keeping up with the constant changes in social media. You can see what types of content your top competitors post, how they adopt social media trends, and what posts serve them best by following them on each channel.

The best of this information can then be applied to your marketing strategy, building on previous successes.

Keep an eye out for the Next Relevant Social Media Channel Trends:

Updates influence social media and the function and features of individual channels. New platforms regularly emerge, catering to a specific content format, industry, or niche.

It is critical for your digital marketing strategy to look for new channels that may be a good fit for your business and research them to see if they are relevant and fit your goals.
