Tips for Searching Social Media

JessicAhh

Hi everyone

I've just got into Pinterest and Instagram, and was wondering how you search them to find comps?

Also, on FB, is there any way to search for comps without visiting companies' individual pages?

Thought it might also be useful to have a list of what terms we use to find comps on Twitter as well, if you're willing to share....

I will start with my Twitter ones...

"RT win"
"#win"
"giveaway"
"#freebiefriday"

My other top Twitter search tip is to search before the US wakes up, if possible, otherwise you need to be really careful that you're only entering UK comps. (As well as looking to see if they include a location on their account, look for certain terms like "contest" and "sweepstakes"; prizes in $; end dates that have the date after the month [e.g. March 20th]; American spellings).

Also, to see all comps, make sure you set the search to 'All Tweets', not 'Top Tweets'.
