Include social media buttons on every page of your website to make it easy for visitors to link to all your profiles. Buttons for the main social networks are usually included as part of your website building software, so it’s simple to pop them on. For the best results, make sure they’re positioned in a prominent spot, such as the top, bottom or side of the web page. Haven’t updated your Facebook page for a while? It’s best to leave this button out and focus on those platforms you’re using regularly.
As well as buttons that navigate to your social media channels, don’t forget to include sharing buttons that will allow visitors to post your content to their own profiles.
