Social Media Tips
Twitter / X

Keep tweets concise. Threads can extend your message. URLs use 23 characters regardless of length.

Instagram

Only the first 125 characters show before "more". Put key info up front. Use up to 30 hashtags.

LinkedIn

First 140 characters are visible before the fold. Use line breaks for readability. Hashtags at end.

YouTube

Titles beyond 70 characters get truncated in search. Place keywords near the start of your title.
