When building a brand on social media, I focus on channels where my audience is most active. I look at which platforms suit my content style—whether it's visuals, videos, or text—and where I can engage best with my followers. I also keep an eye on trends to make sure I'm reaching people in the right places.

When choosing social media channels ask these questions to yourself 1. Which channels does your target audience use most? 2. Which channels align best with your content type (e.g., visual, video, text-based)? 3. Which channels can you realistically manage with your available resources (time, budget, personnel)? 4. Which channels are most popular in your industry? 5. Which channels offer the best engagement opportunities (e.g., comments, shares, likes)? For example, if your target audience is professionals, LinkedIn might be a good choice. But If you have visually appealing content, Instagram or TikTok could be a good fit.
