Its business and not personal life
You need to know how to behave in a corporate sector and I suppose you support my view point that business and personal life has to be separated for better communication. It doesnt mean that you wear a robotic mask on your face and start behaving like an in-human and insensitive creep. You have to maintain a balance between two. You have to show you are an expert in your industry, similarly, you should be light and polite, and being funny is not bad sometimes. It actually creates a friendly bond between two.
Be sure you can do justice and just in case you cant you need to have two profiles, one for your personal life and one for your business.
Are you being pushy? They will block you
You can be considered as pushy, when you send bulk messages of what you offer. Damn it, its too irritating. Try not to be such pushy with your so called offers, firstly, try to build a pleasant bond by throwing interesting, informative, light, funny, catchy and shocking posts and make them comfortable with you. Once you get success in it, I swear, they will like to participate in whatever things you do or throw on your social media network. If its challenge, they will participate, if thats quiz, they will attempt, if thats discussion, they will contribute.
All you need to make them comfortable with you in the first place.
You are too lazy? They hate inconsistency
One post is on April 04 and second is on April 6? God, you are too lazy and inconsistent with your social media marketing strategy. This way you actually push them to not take interest in your business, because of your Dont care gesture. Be consistent and regular with your posts and tweets and make them feel that you are around.
