By Sren Kierkegaard


Social Media: the newest wave of internet marketing genius.

It will walk you through ways to use these sites to advertise your business, company or product.

Find out where your customers are getting their social fix. You can leave yourself twisting in the wind if you start a social media campaign that reaches none of your target audience. You need to know if your customer base will be reading blogs, are tweeters or perhaps, they Facebook often. Research is the key to maximizing your efforts.

Use Facebook to get some very low cost marketing opportunities. Make a professional business account or create a business fan page. Take some time to look up your competitors on Facebook to see how much of a presence they have, and what they did to get that. Do not copy what they did, but use their page as an example for what is working or what is not.

Try adding pictures to your social media site. People get a better understanding of a product when they can literally see it. And, when people understand your product, they are more likely to purchase it. You do not need to have too many pictures, just a few should do the job.

To make sure your social marketing campaign is reaching your customers, find out where they congregate. Are many of them on Facebook or do they prefer Twitter? Depending on your niche, you might be better off looking at LinkedIn or even YouTube. Poll your customers and find out where they spend their internet hours. Pitch your tent there.

To help your customers help you spread your content, make sure blog posts have the right buttons to get easily shared. You can add Facebook Like and Share buttons, as well as Linked share ability and the Retweet button for Twitter users. When you have engaging content your regular followers like, they will spread it around the internet, hopefully drawing more followers to you.

One popular social media method is to allow an experienced blogger, who writes about the same product or service you sell, to write guest posts on your blog. This can easily generate more traffic for bother you and the guest blogger. When you guest blog on another blogger's site, make sure part of your agreement includes leaving a link back to your site. Make sure you also allow your blogger to link back as well. The followers of that blogger will be more likely to seek info about your site.

Always make it easy for your website surfers to find your profile on the social media they use through subscription. The majority of social media site users access them every day, so if you can give them easy access to you on their favorite sites, they will see instantly each time you post.

Write about your progress in social media in your posts. For example, when you arrive at a milestone, like signing up your 1000th Twitter follower, you can write about it. Be certain to demonstrate gratitude to those who enjoy your contributions and make sure they know about your social media involvement. This kind of article is going to get spread around fast.

Do not hesitate to request help when it comes to social media marketing. Tap into the expertise of some of the best consultants in the business to improve your brand. Although they are expensive, they can be well worth the price. Therefore, it is important to include this expense in your budget.

Use the questions and answer feature of LinkedIn. LinkedIn's Q&A works like a large discussion forum: look up questions related to your products or industry and write useful answers to them. You could also post a link to one of your articles if you do not have time to write something.
