Social media marketing has been proven to be one of the best ways to promote your business online. The following tips will help give you a social media marketing success.
1. Be proactive
If you tweet and assume people will come, you might wait for a very long time. Instead, find out the people you should interact with and go for them. Make use of any tool or platform that will make it easier to target and reach your customers. For instance, create a page for your business on Facebook, sign up a Twitter account and join social media groups.
2. Narrow your target
You can interact with viable leads on social media by targeting specific keywords or geographical area. Narrowing your target will allow you to focus your posts, tweets and comments on specific people that are of interest to you. The search tools on social media will help you find people in your geographical area. You can also search people by town, city or region.
3. Use automation sparingly
Automation such as pulling in from RSS feed and scheduled updates saves you a lot of time. But you should never automate your interaction with customers. The results of automated replies could be very embarrassing and can confuse many people on social media. You may have a few templates ready for reply, but always review the people you are replying to. Conversations with your potential customers should always be real.
4. Give others credit
Do not post other people’s posts as your own. Always give credit to the original author of what you are posting or tweeting. This will show users that you are monitoring your business field and that your information is credible. You will also get the attention of the authors you give credit. This could be the beginning of great partnership with such authors.
5. Do not get too busy for your users
Do not get too busy with other things at the expense of your fans and followers. Always have something to keep the conversation on. Incase you get too busy, schedule some great posts and updates for your fans and followers. These automated posts will save you time and keep your users engaged. Your fans and followers will leave the moment they realize that you are too busy.
