Challenge your creativity<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n When creating your #LearnuaryNI posts don\u2019t forget to use all the formats available for creating content.\u00a0 From sharing photographs, word based statuses and memes to gifs, video and Live. Being diverse with your content will help capture the attention of your followers. Most social media platforms have their own free online training courses from Facebook Blueprint to Google Digital Garage and Snapchat Explore all of which you can find links to on\u00a0TrainingMatchmaker.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2. Don\u2019t break the rules<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Each social media platform has its own set of rules that, if broken, can penalise your profile or page and your content in terms of its visibility on users\u2019 newsfeed\u2019s.\u00a0 For example, late in December Facebook announced new penalties for users requiring shares and tags in posts.\u00a0 You can find more information on how to keep your digital skills up to date on\u00a0TrainingMatchmaker.com<\/a>\u00a0throughout January.<\/p>\n 3. Cramming is ok<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n If you have a big contract, holiday plans or are worried about being present on social media every day in January think about using scheduling tools such as Hootsuite, Buffer and even Facebook\u2019s pre-scheduled post options to fill in the blanks.\u00a0 To learn more information on scheduling tools and how to use them check out\u00a0TrainingMatchmaker.<\/a>com throughout\u00a0January.<\/p>\n For more information log onto\u00a0www.TrainingMatchmaker.com\/LearnuaryNI<\/a> or<\/span>\u00a0connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn or SnapChat.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As people across Northern Ireland are already fledging on their New Year\u2019s Resolutions an online learning and training platform has set the \u201cLearn 31 New Things In January\u201d challenge.
