5 Social Media Hacks That Actually Work for New Businesses

Stop wasting time on strategies that don't convert. These proven tactics will help you grow your audience and sales fast.

Social media can make or break your new online business. While 90% of startups use social platforms, only 20% use them effectively. These 5 hacks from our BizzUp Social Media Tools will put you in the winning category.

1

The 80/20 Content Rule

Most businesses post too many sales pitches. The winning formula:

  • 80% valuable content (tips, insights, entertainment)
  • 15% engagement posts (questions, polls)
  • 5% direct sales content

Pro Tip: Use WhatsM by BizzUp to schedule your content mix in advance.

Sample Content Mix

Monday: Industry tip

Wednesday: Customer story

Friday: Fun poll

Sunday: Product feature

Best Times to Post

Instagram: 7-9 AM & 5-7 PM

Facebook: 9 AM-12 PM

LinkedIn: 8-10 AM

Twitter: 12-3 PM

Timing Is Everything

Posting when your audience is most active can double your engagement:

  • Use platform insights to find your best times
  • Test different times for 2 weeks
  • Schedule posts in advance during peak windows

Pro Tip: BizzUp's auto-scheduler posts at optimal times for each platform.

Hashtag Hierarchy

Stop using random hashtags. Implement this strategy instead:

  • 3-5 industry hashtags (medium competition)
  • 2-3 niche hashtags (low competition)
  • 1-2 branded hashtags (your business name)
  • 1 trending hashtag (when relevant)

Pro Tip: Save hashtag groups in BizzUp for different post types.

Example for a Bakery

Industry:

#BakeryLife #BakingLove

Niche:

#DelhiBaker #HomemadeCakes

Branded:

#SweetTreatsByRiya

Engagement Boosters

"Which flavor should we make next?"

"Tag a friend who loves desserts!"

"Double tap if you agree!"
