Great insight, Shawn! Thanks for sharing your social media strategy & schedule with us. I think it's important to have a plan like and not simply ad lib every day.

Then I go on Hootsuite and autoschedule 5 inspiring quotes throughout the day for my Twitter, FB, G+ and LinkedIn accounts.

I then go on Unfollowers.me and personally thank any new followers and follow them back if I'm not already. I also try and consistently follow 10 new people a day.

Those things alone garner lots of good response, takes about 15 minutes, and I'm done before my second cup of coffee.

Then when I get to my office at church and I find interesting things to share throughout the day, I'll send them out via the Hootlet extension on Safari which ROX.

I also blog twice a week (Mon & Fri), and try and do some short video messages a few times a week, as well. They all get posted via Hootsuite to all my outlets, as well.

This doesn't take up my whole day, and it made my Klout score go from 24 to 61 in only four months and my Twitter follower count increases with QUALITY followers a bit each day – now closing in on 600 🙂

Slow, organic growth with personal responses and lots of RT-ing really gets the best response and doesn't take up a huge chunk of my day.
