Do It Right - Social Media Marketing For Your Business

By Ashly Hem


Using social media marketing tools can be a great way to promote your business. You don't want to waste valuable time trying to figure out the social media sites though, or trying to market your product effectively. In this article, we will discuss some tried and true time saving tips for social media marketing.

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.

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, thus, your marketing efforts will be for nothing. Also, make sure your title is relevant to your business or the product that you are selling. If your blog has grown popular, put up some stats showing your visitors how many others follow your content. Demonstrating your growth through showing the number of Facebook "likes" you've received, Twitter followers you've accumulated or any awards your site or blog has received is a great way to prove your "social worth."

Consider adding buttons within your profiles and also include an RSS feed for all your updates. Make this stand out on your blog, website, emails and also signatures whenever you leave a comment on the internet. From each social network profile, link to your various other profiles to allow customers to find you everywhere.

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.

Do not forget to post a link to your website or blog on your social network profiles. If someone hears about your products on a social network, they will need to have access to more information and see what you use as a storefront before they can decide to buy anything.

In this article, we have discussed the importance of time management when marketing within the world of social media. We have also provided some beneficial time saving tips. Use these tips effectively to ensure that you are spending the proper amount of time marketing your business on the social media sites.
