#TechIsTheNewAwesome - Using Tablets and Smartphones with Social Media

In the modern age of social media, it can be hard to keep up with the fast pace internet environment. Sometimes being away from your computer for more than a few hours could mean missing out on valuable social media contributions. It can be hard to remain relevant when you can’t be near your computer at all times during the day. That’s why it’s so important to use other forms of technology to access your social media accounts. Here are the reasons you need to start using tablets and smartphones to manage your social media accounts:

You Will Save Time

You can use your phone or tablet not only post on social media, but also to take pictures for your content. This cuts out the time it would take you to take a photo, send it to your email, and then put it on a social media account. Instead you can snap a picture on your tablet or smartphone and post straight to the social media account of your choice. Website versions of some social media platforms don’t even have an option to post unless you are on a mobile device, like Instagram. It’s important to be able to post from anywhere at any time to remain relevant, and that’s much easier with a smartphone or tablet.

You Will Engage Your Audience

When you use a smartphone or tablet to manage your social media accounts, you can check them even when you’re away from your computer. This means that you can respond faster to any direct messages or comments on your posts. You will be able to engage faster and better with your audience and this will improve your overall branding.

You Will See Notifications Sooner

If something goes wrong on one of your social media accounts, you can fix it in an instant when your accounts are set up on your smartphone or tablet. It makes working from home much easier because you can quickly fix any spelling errors, inappropriate comments, etc. all without having to be at your office desk.

Using a tablet or smartphone to manage your social media accounts can give your social media the edge it needs to expand its following. Your followers will appreciate your engagement and quick response time, which means you’ll build a stronger relationship with your customers. By making use of social media apps on your smartphone or tablet, you can keep up with the fast pace of social media and not get left behind.
