The 2020 Election, social media and being omnipresent
What does the 2020 Election have to do with social media and being omnipresent?
Before I get into that, as of the time of this writing, the standings were like this for Donald Trump at 213 and Joseph Biden at 227.
There’s an awful lot of red even though Trump is behind.
So, social media and being omniprent…
For one thing, politics is definitely a social media thing.
What do politicians know about social media?
Obviously, I don’t know what they know, but from their activities, I can guess that their campaign managers definitely know that they must use social media

He also knows how to manipulate facts which isn’t something I’d recommend for your online presence.
But, what we can learn from Trump is that you need to be everywhere.
You need to be omnipresent.
Being Omnipresent
What does being omnipresent mean today?
Well, on social media, it means to be posting on all platforms, right?
To do that, you need to learn all the platforms, how to post on them but more importantly, what kinds of assets you need.
For example, on LinkedIn, you can post images, text and videos, but only 10 minute videos.
On Twitter, you can post text, images and videos as well, but only 2 minute 20 second videos and only 280 characters of text.
On Pinterest, it’s 15 minute videos and images with text.
I could go on, but you...
