Do It Right - Social Media Marketing For Your Business

By Ashly Hem


Now that the business benefits of social media are becoming universally well-known, everyone wants to get in on it. Mastering social media marketing is something that takes plenty of time, work, and dedication. Nonetheless, there are a few basic tips you can follow to jump start your social media marketing success. If you are using social media to promote your product and you have written a blog post, have it posted to your Facebook page as well. This way, everyone that is on your friends list has access to your blog post. The same holds true for other social network sites.

If you are going to use Twitter as a business tool, then you need to stay closely connected to your audience. Always thank people for sharing your posts, and acknowledge and answer any questions as soon as you can. This strengthens the bond between your brand and your followers. By frequently interacting with people, you establish yourself in their minds as a person and not a business automaton.

In your website content, mention your social media efforts. You could let people know when you've reached a thousand people following you on Twitter in an article, for instance. Thank your fans for showing an interest in your social media site. These articles are typically quickly shared. Combine email marketing and social media. Add a Facebook button or twitter button to the end of your emails. Draw attention to your email marketing campaign by placing links to your registration page on your social media profiles for instance.

Connect your blog to Linkedin by putting a share button at the top of the page. Because of its nature, Linkedin has users who are generally people with influence who have higher incomes, meaning plenty of potential customers with money to spend on your products and services. With more than 100 million people using Linkedin, it is a great opportunity using social media to market your business without spending a dime.

Utilize RSS feeds. These all people to subscribe to your feed and have the posts go into their Google Reader account once your feeds are published. This makes your content accessible in an easy-to-access way for your customers. Make the button to subscribe easy to identify, so the whole process takes no effort on the part of those visiting your site.

Try using linking applications on Twitter to post to your other social media profiles at the same time. These linking applications are a huge time saver. When you post a message on Twitter, it will automatically post the same message on your Facebook, YouTube, and Google+ profiles, so you don't have to sign into all of them to post the same content.

Generate interest in the products and services you provide by offering forums where customers can ask you questions and you can give them honest answers. This allows potential customers to better understand who you are, what you are offering, and what your company is all about. Allowing your customers to ask you questions directly, helps to create a more personal relationship between you, and your potential customers.

Marketing through social media has similarities to more traditional methods, with modern variations and different instruments of implementation. Apply what you have learned in this article, and your social media campaign should be efficient. Doing it right will mean that you have a great time while bolstering your online reputation!
