The 10-4-1 rule is a simple way of setting a format for the style and types of content you will release. The basics behind the 10-4-1 rule is that for every fifteen posts on social media, ten will be content that is not related to your business, four will be content somewhat related to your business, and one will be a call to action that is intended to create income from your business.
Imagine receiving a friend request from someone whose wall is littered with posts about their products and services. I don’t accept, so it’s a no from me. That’s why I wrote this specifically for my network marketing friends, but you can apply it to any business.
Remember this, friend… You are not your business, you run a business. Be real, because that’s what we all want to see! Check out the formula for social media content below.

TOOLS TO SCHEDULE POSTS:
