Take it (Social Media Marketing) to the Limit…One More Time

Social Media Marketing Tips | Haley Marketing Group
Share this:

Social media marketing, Twitter specifically, is about pushing your limits. Trying new and exciting ideas. Finding what works best and pushing that to new extremes.

That’s where The Eagles come into play. In 1975 The Eagles dropped Take it to the Limit, their third single from One of These Nights. And, while this article wasn’t originally positioned as a hat tip to The Eagles, the more I thought about it…the more it made sense.

Throughout February, I had one major goal on social media:

Push the Haley Marketing Group Twitter account (@HaleyMarketing) so far that people began to get frustrated and actually start to unfollow us.

I wanted to take it to the limit.

Now is a good time to ask yourself…Why in the WORLD would you want to frustrate followers? Why would you want to push your account so much that people unfollow you??

The experiment wasn’t so much to frustrate our Twitter followers. It was a test to find our limit. Our tipping point.

After all, if I could find that tipping point, I could identify the exact point we shouldn’t reach, and therefore share the perfect amount of content every day.

The Experiment

Throughout February, I slowly pushed @HaleyMarketing.

At first I was scheduling content 5 times every day. Using Followerwonk, and other popular social media tools, I was able to see when our audience was active and listening, and then scheduled a healthy mix of content and resources to be published at these optimal times.

Gradually, I pushed the account.

Instead of 5 times each day we were posting 7. 10. 13 times every day.

Again, I was trying to find the tipping point. I was trying to find the limit. The point where people began to reach out and tell us to dial it back a notch.

As I type this, I am happy to say that I have yet to find that tipping point. We are still sharing great resources 13 times a day and are seeing amazing results from doing so.
