If you do take Instagram seriously, it can open up a world of
opportunity for your brand. Forrester has named Instagram the
“king of social engagement,” citing the fact that top brands’
Instagram posts generated a per-follower engagement rate of
4.21 percent. That means Instagram delivered these brands 58
times more engagement per follower than Facebook, and 120
times more engagement per follower than Twitter.

A. It depends. Ideally a minimum of once a day for curated content and once a week for original content. Twice a day for Twitter.
A. Who has a personal page? Business page? Anyone using Business Manager? Public figure page? Are you a team or individual, I think you should have a business page regardless so you can tag, etc. May want to create a public figure page so people can like and follow you personally.
A. 1.7 million on FB w/in 50 mi of Portland, 230,000 are interested in “Real Estate”, same number interested in luxury cars like Mercedes, BMW and Lexus…72,000 on Instagram. Twitter has 974 Million users, but almost ½ have never even tweeted and only about 25% have even participated in last month.
A. 65+, but 18-29 isn’t far behind. But more importantly, where are your clients?

Anyone on Nextdoor?
300 million users on LinkedIn
100 million active users on Pinterest, 176 million registered
Using Facebook as the example most of the time as it is the biggest platform, 1.4 billion users. Most of this is channel agnostic though. You do need to think about the channel and ideally post differently for each…we don’t live in a perfect world.
