30 Social Post Ideas to Keep You Top-of-Mind This November

Social media has become one of the most important aspects of a real estate agent’s business for several reasons – it provides instant access to a large pool of potential leads, strengthens your brand recognition, and helps cultivate community. We also know it can be one of the most challenging and overwhelming to maintain without pointed strategies and systems. To help, we’ve outlined best practices, tools, and social post ideas below so you can stay top-of-mind with your SOI throughout the month of November.

The Essentials for Succeeding on Social 

1) Stay consistent.  

Social media marketing requires consistency in the following areas: 

• Posting: Daily posting is important to keep your audience engaged.  To ensure you don’t fall behind, Marliese Gowin, Keller Williams’ social media strategist, recommends time blocking 2-3 hours per week and scheduling your posts.
  
  “When posts are scheduled, if you get caught up – an appointment runs long, your kids get sick, or you want to take a vacation – you don’t have to worry about it,” she writes.

• Voice/tone: The way you write to your audience, weaving in key characteristics of your brand personality, makes up your voice and tone. Buffer says it best when describing voice as, “your brand personality described as an adjective (ex: lively, positive, cynical or playful). The tone, a subset of your brand voice, adds flavor to your voice based on factors like audience, situation or channel.” Choose and stick to your route to not jar your audience.
  
• Visuals: Aesthetically pleasing visuals play a huge role in helping cut through the clutter on social media. Simple tips for implementing visuals into your strategy: choose complementary colors, keep it simple, and understand photo ratios. 

2) Participate in social media challenges. 

Like consistency, another social media essential is relevance for resonance with your audience. One of the easiest ways to stay relevant and keep your content fresh all month long is by taking on a daily challenge. For November, try letting your followers know what you appreciate most by accepting the 30 Days of Thanks Challenge. From Nov. 1 to Nov. 30, share something that brings a smile to your face each day, and then encourage your friends, family, and clients to do the same.

3) Leverage tools.  

Committed to helping agents excel at every turn, Keller Williams released Command. Among its suite of applets are two that make it exponentially easier for KW agents – even those with minimal experience – to master social media:  

• Campaigns: Allows agents to set up and schedule posts and ads across all of their channels. 
• Designs: Offers a suite of over 1,000 professionally designed templates that can be personalized and paired with posts.

With the foundational elements of social media in hand, it’s time to get posting!
