Best Practices
Platform Voice
Each platform has different expectations:
| Platform | Best Approach |
|---|---|
| X | Punchy, conversational, thread-friendly |
| Professional, thought leadership | |
| Visual-first, lifestyle | |
| Community-focused, shareable | |
| Value-first, not promotional |
Posting Frequency
Don’t over-post. Recommended maximums:
| Platform | Frequency |
|---|---|
| X | 3-5 per day |
| 1-2 per day | |
| 1-2 per day | |
| 1-2 per day |
Hashtag Strategy
Modern best practices:
- X/Twitter - Hashtags reduce engagement. Skip them.
- LinkedIn - Hashtags are outdated. Skip them.
- Instagram - 3-5 relevant hashtags still work
- TikTok - 3-5 trending hashtags
Cuppa follows these guidelines by default.
