Any tips on how to do marketing on social media successfully?

Ryan O'Bleness

Just a few thoughts:

• Use and follow trending hashtags or topics on Facebook or Twitter 
• Produce targeted ads based on interests, demographics or behavior
• Be sure that your business is active on the CORRECT social media platforms for your audience (you do not need to be on every social website if your target market isn't) 
• Use videos, compelling photos and influencers for different campaigns 
• Engage with and respond to customers 
• Track metrics

Hope that helps.

@PaySec, I am not sure what you're specifically talking about, but to avoid any issues, do not post irrelevant links, duplicate copy from blog posts or other websites, discussion posts promoting a product, off topic content or violate any of the other rules of the community.

Social media marketing is a tricky area where only an experienced professional can act in a well enhanced manner. Instead of doing this on your own you can outsource it with a virtual assistant company. You will be getting real time updates from them on whatever happening in your social media.

In marketing there are no tips, give a shot to social media platforms and check which works best for you!

Set goals, create a social strategy, build plans to meet those goals, and then implement the plan. If your results are not meeting your goals or leading you toward your strategy, revisit the implementation of your plan, and try again.

Social Media Marketing is delicate. Every platform serves a different purpose which is probably the most important rule. To put it in some perspective…

Facebook: Solid platform overall - good for remarketing purposes and overall a good B2C and B2B channel

Instagram: useful for all channels as well but mainly around products that can be ‘showcased’ like interior design, foods, clothes etc.

Snapchat: I find snapchat good for INTERNAL marketing - marketing to your teams and what events are going on and what’s happening with the company. Keeps good morale.

Understanding which platform is useful in what situations is key in driving good social media marketing.

It is important to pick the best platform as per your targeted audience.. Is your audience available on that platform or not... Select your targeted location or demographic area with interests.. Join communities and forums relevant to your niche.. And share informative content there to engage audience..

Before you can create content that resonates, it helps to know your intended audience (as well as who they are not). An audience definition should ideally connect these three things:

Your product or service

Your main audience demographic

Your content’s mission

Here is what a simple audience definition could look like once you’re finished analyzing your audience:

“[INSERT YOUR BRAND] creates content to help and inform [INSERT DEMOGRAPHIC] so they can [INSERT ACTION] better.”
