Top 10 Social Media Marketing Tips!

If you are on Social Media and are either promoting a business or thinking about it, you will want to be consistent in your activities. In this post I have posted 10 of my top 10 Social Media Marketing Tips to help promote your business on the different social media platforms.

  1. Don’t overwhelm yourself (pick 2 or 3 of your favorite Social Media Platforms)
  2. Be consistent (post daily or at least 2 to 3 times per week on each platform)
  3. 80/20 rule (80% of the time post personal or non-business related posts and 20% of the time post about your business)
  4. Connect often and engage (don’t just post — engage with your audience).
  5. Be creative (don’t post the same thing over and over. Try to come up with interesting content — pictures, quotes, things you enjoy)
  6. Be authentic — don’t be something you’re not. (If you don’t own a private jet — don’t pretend like you do, people need to relate to the real you.)
  7. Time management (don’t spend too much time on one platform. Get in and get out and engage with those that like and comment on your posts.)
  8. Know what you want to get in return for your efforts. (Figure out why you want to be on Social Media for Biz — is it for brand awareness, to get more followers, more customers, figure out why you are doing it. Don’t just being doing it because everyone else is.)
  9. Use 3rd party tools (important that you use 3rd party tools to streamline your social media marketing. A few to mention are http://socialoomph for twitter, http://hootsuite.com, and http://klout.com
  10. Have Fun! You wouldn’t go to a party and not have fun. Social Media is all about being at a party online — so make sure you have fun with it.
