SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING: ONLINE NETWORKING, BLOGGING AND VIDEO

Most  business owners know that social media is an important part of online marketing. But after they’ve put up a Facebook page for their business, they’re not sure what comes next.

What Is a Social Media Strategy?

Whether you’re just getting started with social media or you’re a seasoned pro, it’s never too late to craft a social media strategic plan. That plan requires three pieces:

  • Knowing who your prospects are and what they want to talk about. Social media is all about communication. You have to know your customers’ pain points and be willing to have conversations around those topics.
  • Knowing where your customers “hang out” online. Does your audience spend time on Facebook or LinkedIn? Are they tweeting? Do they want to learn by reading or watching how-to videos? Just like in the real world, success often comes down to location, location, location. You need to spend time where your customers and prospects congregate.
  • Knowing what to measure. We love Scott Monty’s line, “I don’t know the ROI of my pants, but I still put them on every morning.” There are plenty of metrics in social media–friends, fans, followers, subscribers and traffic–but a good strategy will help you determine what should be tracked and what should be ignored.
