Be consistent in your type of post, length of the post and vibe of the post. Don’t post about politics one day and party the other, some exception are entertained. Select a theme that you want your customer to perceive you as and stick to it. This will help you to integrate your message you want to give to your followers precisely and give a consistent vibe.
