6 tips for posting great content on commonsku
Back in the day, I got on this new thing called Facebook that some friends were talking about.
I didn’t really get what I was supposed to do or say. With a little observation, I figured it out.
Over the years, I’ve bumped around in MySpace, LiveJournal, Twitter, flickr, LinkedIn, and probably a dozen more properties in the social media landscape. Each has their own niche and posting quirks, but overall they’re about one thing: getting involved.
commonsku is no different. Our objective is to unite the promotional products industry and bust through the walls that keep our supply chain silo-ed.
Our ammunition: the commonsku newsfeed.

Quick Tips: How to be a great member of a social network community
- Share more than you ask
- Suppliers, don’t oversell – 1-2 product suggestions per day is a good rule of thumb
- Comment and Like others’ content
- Consider how your post will help educate, inspire, or even give your followers a good chuckle
