Social Media Accounts – Should You Consolidate Multiple Niches?

 By Karen Cioffi

How many social media accounts to maintain is a dilemma that many of us face. At least those of us who have more than one niche / focus.

Do you combine your niches in your social media accounts or do you take the extra time and effort to maintain multiple accounts?

I’ll use me as an example. I have six specific niches, but I'll use just four of them:

1. The Article Writing Doctor (writing services for natural healthcare professionals)
2. Karen Cioffi Professional Writing Services for Businesses and Individuals
3. Become an Content Writing Powerhouse in Just 6 Weeks ( training for businesses and individuals)
4. Platform Building with Content Marketing (for authors, writers, and home businesses)

While these four businesses are within the writing and marketing arenas, their target market and focus are each very different.

So, what’s a writer-marketer to do?

Well, if you find yourself in the same situation, with more than one niche and they’re quite different, you need to take a step back and think from a marketing standpoint.

While it’s much easier to have only ONE Twitter account, one Facebook account, One Google+ account, one Linkedin account, it’s not marketing wise.

According to Michael Stelzner of Social Media Examiner (in a podcast), it comes down to resources – can you manage multiple channels. In general, from a marketing perspective, you want to be MORE FOCUSED. So, you need separate accounts. This will create a more engaged and loyal following.
