Social media marketing uses many of the same techniques as other marketing methods, but it also presents you with new exciting benefits. By implementing these hints and tips into your plan, you’ll soon see firsthand how lucrative social media can be to your business.

 

Post on each social media platform separately instead of sharing posts from one app.

Yes, you can save time by posting only on Instagram and sharing to other apps but writing different posts is best since your audience on each platform might slightly differ. Posting directly on each app also lets the app know that you are active which will help with the algorithm and reach for each one.

 

Always add tags to your posts.

Tags are preceded by the symbol # so your updates can appear in feeds of other users who subscribe to the same group. Think carefully about your tag use. Identify specific groups that your intended demographic probably follows. For Instagram, maximize your reach by utilising 20 to 30 tags on each post.

 

Research the social media marketing techniques that your successful competitors are using.

When starting, model your plan after theirs until you determine what strategies best suit your business and the needs of your customers. Look at their social profiles and see what and how they advertise. Look for posts that create a lot engagement to inspire your next posts. This will give you insights as to what your market likes to see the most.

 

When using social media to market your business or product, be sure that you create a title that will draw people in.

A boring title will make viewers skip over your article, so your marketing efforts will not be successful. Also, make sure your title is relevant to your business or the product that you are selling.

 

You can create a Youtube channel to post reviews of your products and other videos relevant to your company and industry.

It makes it easier to engage with your customers and it builds trust towards your brand.

 

You can add applications such as SlideShare to LinkedIn. Try different applications and see which ones could be helpful to you.

SlideShare allows you to create photo albums with detailed descriptions for each picture. You could add pictures of your products or have your customers send you pictures of themselves using what they bought from you.

 

Connect all your social networks together by letting know your followers where they can find you and try to send them from one to another.

For example, if you’re posting a story on Instagram or doing a live video, tell them to also go check your Facebook page.

 

Engagement is lower when posting multiple posts in a day versus posting once per day.

Depending on your business, you might want to consider posting only once or twice a day. More than that could seem like spam to your followers and could have a counterproductive effect.
