Whatever your level of experience or inexperience with social media you can begin making an impact by following a few key strategies to help you select your platform, target your audience and determine your impact.

Whether using Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, Periscope or one of the many other social media platforms what matters is why you are using it and is it where your audience is hanging out.
