Try Using The Social Media Sites

By Bill Fletcher

No matter where you come from or what you’re doing you will find that the lure of social media is difficult to ignore. These networking sites reach millions of people daily, and the fad is certainly not fading. Keep reading this article to use social media to its fullest potential.

Don’t Sell..Explain

131187587397J0iiDon’t push or “sell” your products. Post informative stories from other sources within your niche, or create your own original content. Ask questions, run contests, and post pictures. Provide compelling and interactive content. Get your followers to identify with the product rather than just see the marketing message. Rather than simply encouraging customers to purchase your product, show them how well it fits into their lifestyle, and why they should purchase it.  People don’t like to be SOLD..they like to BUY.  Help them to buy your product.

Never be scared to ask for tips when working with social media marketing. Tap into the expertise of some of the best consultants in the business to improve your brand. This is not a cheap option, but it can be helpful.

TIP! Your business should have a blog, and it should be chock full of information that would be useful to your customers. Post everything new you have to say on your blog.

Make sure there are plenty of links to the social media pages you have created on everything you do; you can also have an RSS feed that details your latest activity, too. Things like RSS feeds and other widgets should be visible on every social site you own. This really gives the look and feel of a legitimate social user and not just a cold, dry business. Make sure you also take the opportunity to link everything together into a fluid network.

Retweet interesting posts by popular Twitter users. You can also cite them by using the @ symbol to link to their profile. Your tweet will be highlighted for them, and they’ll be likely to retweet it to their followers or provide you with more information.

All your blog posts should show up on your LinkedIn web page if you have the blog feed. You can post an article, and it will appear as LinkedIn updated. This will help you save time and you should get more exposure by reaching out both to a blogging community and to your LinkedIn friends at the same time.

TIP! If you join a social media site, tell your existing customers that you have done so. When they join your social media page, most of these sites will also inform their connections they are following you.

One technique that many social media marketers use is advertising with strange images that have been heavily Photoshopped. Using photoshopped images is an effective technique because it gets buyers’ attention and makes them more likely to click on your ad. Obviously, the chances of a customer browsing your website are higher after looking at your ads, than if they ignore your ads.  I use GetFreeimages.net.

Make sure to track your progress. Over time you will be able to establish statistics that show how effective your campaigns are and the number of new people you get each week. Link all of your strategies together to make your own unique set of strategies. You won’t know if your social media marketing campaign will be worth the time if you’re not keeping track of results.

Make sure that all Facebook comments that come from your readers are responded to. This should even be done for bad comments. This will let people know that what they feel is important is also important to you and your company. They will trust you and your business more. Always respond to customers as quickly as you possibly can.

TIP! Always answer to the messages and comments you receive on social networks. Look for comments every time you log on.

Attract more followers by offering coupons and special offers. Your readers and customers will feel special, like exclusive club members, when you give them access to deals that other people can’t get, which could reward you with higher sales.

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing helps every business owner. Whether you’ve just become a business owner or you’re new to your site, social media is a great tool to have. Keeping this article in mind, you can now make social media marketing the greatest tool you have!

TIP! Ask for assistance if you need it; don’t be embarrassed. This market is enormous; there are many designers and consultants that can prepare an entire strategy for you.
