As the world becomes increasingly evolved into an age of technological advancement, our daily lives become overwhelmed with more and more digital communication. It seems as if all aspects of our lives, from personal relationships to business strategies, are turning to social media. It has quickly become a relied upon tool to instantly communicate relevant information, keep the population well-informed on current events, as well as to gather support and awareness for a organization or cause. While social media can have a vast amount of success, it can in turn pose detrimental repercussion if it is not executed appropriately. Social strategies are required in order to achieve the organizational purpose and use of social media.
One strategy that can assist a businesses success while using social media, is the process of analyzing published posts. By examining the content of what is publicized can assist in determining what is appropriate and what is working. There are many questions that one can ask as it relates to the message’s content. First and foremost, what is the organizations message? What does an organization want to get out of social media usage? What is the underlying goal or purpose? By asking these questions, an organization can effectively assess if social media platforms will provide successful results.
It is further important to identify the target audience in order to properly implement relevant and appropriate content. Taking this step will aid the communicator in regulating the information based on whom they are targeting.
Similarly, it is important to think about how an organization can be “human” over the Internet. Today, it is 
extraordinarily harder to capture a reader’s attention, therefore it is important to find those you wish to connect with and foster a relationship with them. If the voice of a post fails to appear personal, or is not directed in an appropriate manner, there leaves a possibility of loosing readers and followers. People desire to feel special opposed to just another means to fill a quota. Engaging in interactive communication will increase the relational aspect between the organization and the reader as well as increase the effectiveness and efficiency of social media.
