Why is it important to create different content tailored to each social network? Simply, because they are different. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Tik Tok, are different social networks and therefore need content optimized and adapted to each platform. Would you like to log on to each social network and see the same thing over and over again? That would be so boring and repetitive. According to studies, when a follower is present in several social networks and observes different and adapted content, he is more receptive.
