Get More Out of Your Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing is a great tool to use to talk about your products/services. By using it effectively, you attract targeted audience to your website and get far more traffic. Many businesses underestimate the effectiveness of social media marketing but it is really a powerful tool to use and take advantage of.
Create Consistent and Complete Profiles
In order to use the social media effectively you need to set up your profile consistently and completely. Make sure that you include a professional headshot and keep the text of your profile very similar in nature to avoid contradiction. You need to be clear in order for the visitors to clearly know about you and your business.
Host Live Events
It’s a great idea to host live events to discuss a hot topic of your niche by using a service such as Google Hangouts. Another way to have a live event is using Facebook or Twitter party where everyone is allowed to post links to their own business or blogs for a specific amount of time. You may do that by asking everyone to write a blog post about a specific topic and link to it within 24 hours, share and use a specific hashtag to promote the event.
Congratulate People
Congratulating other people for having a special day on social media is a great way to build good connections. You don’t necessarily need to know that person to do so.
People like to be congratulated on their special day. It’s even a good idea to send a card to them if you know their address to make it more special.
Use More Images
Social media people get more excited about sharing images rather than text. So it’s recommended that you include text within an image to make it more exciting and you may do it using a software like Pixlr.com. Just put an attractive background and a good quote within it to get more people to view it.
Use Social Media to Survey Your Audience
You may engage more people in the social media by using it as a way to survey your audience to know what they really need or want. But don’t give them a lot of choice to choose from, just make 2 choices is enough to ask to decide which to choose from.
Capture Influencers’ Attention
Getting successful and well known people within your niche to like, share and connect with you is a great asset to expand your audience. There are many ways to do that but a good way is to comment intelligently on the their posts to grab their attention.
It is clear now how the social media marketing is a great tool to use in your business. Don’t hire others to make the engagements for you, you need to make them yourselves.
