Here are a few tips on how to benefit from Social Media Marketing:
1. Use your connections:
It all begins with your connections. When marketing your business you can’t afford to be self absorbed and only friend or follow people for your own benefit. This won’t help if you want to establish loyal followings.
2.Use Facebook & Twitter:
Promote your site on Facebook, create a Facebook page for your business. Here you will be able to invite all your loyal clients to follow you. Facebook advertising exposes you to more than 750 million potential clients. You will be able to choose your target audience by location, gender and interest. You can use the Facebook like button on your website, blog, etc to allow for easy sharing between Facebook users.
Create a Twitter profile and promote it. The aim here is to follow people that are relevant to your website or niche. Before you start sending friends request and requesting followers find out what will interest your clients and make sure you keep it professional.
Post eye catching tweets about your business, the company and yourself. Always making sure they are relevant to your target audience.
If you want lots of visitors to your site you will need a lot of followers. The best way to get followers is by showing an interest in others, take some time to visit other people’s profiles and sites, send a message to show that you care.
When someone writes or comments on your wall or tweet take the time to respond, you might not have a chance to reply to every single one but try your best to keep up and make each follower feel special.
The great thing about Facebook & Twitter is that you’ll be able to share content that others post and they will be able to share your content with their social circles. Social Media Marketing at its best.
3. Give YouTube a Try:
It’s not just for uploading videos of your cat playing the harmonica; you can also upload videos of your products, give demonstrations or take potential customers through a virtual tour of your business.
The best way to do this is to create your own channel, it’s important to keep things professional here as well. Customise your channel by adding your business logo, official colours,etc. Just uploading your videos randomly is a huge mistake.
When you use a channel people can subscribe and receive email alerts and reminders every time you update.
