Hi,

Social Media Marketing consists of creating your presence on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google+, Pinterest...... utlimately the goal is to gain followers on these platforms and share useful information in your niche and from time to time market one of your services or products.

Take Twitter for example, what I like to do here is to create my page with a nice logo and banner; follow members that are already following my competitors (you can expect many of them to follow you back) in order to build a strong base of followers.

When you have your 100-200 first followers, you can start by sharing useful infos about your niche, by useful infos I mean provide solutions to the problems that your followers may encounter. When you feel that you have established enough trust with your followers you can begin promoting your products or services, and this is the whole idea behind social media marketing.

All the best!

Social Media Marketing is just the idea of getting your message out there via social media. Nowadays, social media is something that every online entrepreneur makes use of as a part of their overall "make money online" strategy. They all basically work the same. The two most important things to know are that some platforms are more popular with particular markets than others, so you need to figure out which the people in your niche prefer. It's also important to start building followers and just interacting with your audience BEFORE you actually start promoting stuff.

Social media marketing, or SMM, is a form of internet marketing that implements various social media networks in order to achieve marketing communication and branding goals. Social media marketing primarily covers activities involving social sharing of content, videos, and images for marketing purposes, as well as paid social media advertising.

1. Use hashtagify.me to find tags relevant to your site topic
2. Use 1-2 of those best hashtags at the end of your tweets-- use them each time you tweet
3. Tweet once every 1-3 days.
4. Ensure your tweet has perfect spelling and has no mistakes (be VERY careful posting from your smart phone, auto correct can harm your brand) and goes out as intended
5. CONSISTENTLY publish tweets that share 1) useful things in your topic 2) news in your topic 3) quotes (this is cliche but can be effective) 4) use small images with quotes or the same useful things you usually tweet without images.
6. Publish tweets TOO FREQUENTLY and you will lose followers because they will get annoyed by the Twitter notifications on their email and smart phone.

These are the steps you could take. It's okay if you don't tweet everyday, in fact it can be good not to tweet a few days. People who like your tweets will follow, retweet (images I've found are popular for retweeting), and may also unfollow if they actually aren't your customers (self disqualify their interest).

Stay on topic. Follow accounts that have good brand image and great tweets that you should have for your brand. Consider what sources they may use for researching and preparing those tweets.

Hopefully all this helps.

I've never had the "too many tweets" problem. I used to post 15 - 20 times a day and tried to do even more (once every 30 minutes). Literally, the day I stopped I lost 10 followers when every day before that points I gained at least 5.

Using these profiles, you can share your content to the audience through joining groups or communities, adding peoples and using '#' tags on the business posts. You must engage on the likes and comments with replies to the business posts in the social media profiles. Moreover, you can grow your business by getting huge traffic on it through likes, comments and clicks by using social paid advertising.

Social media marketing refers to the process of gaining website traffic or attention through social media sites.

Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention and encourages readers to share it with their social networks. A corporate message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it appears to come from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself. Hence, this form of marketing is driven by word-of-mouth, meaning it results in earned media rather than paid media.

Social media has become a platform that is easily accessible to anyone with internet access. Increased communication for organizations fosters brand awareness and often, improved customer service. Additionally, social media serves as a relatively inexpensive platform for organizations to implement marketing campaigns.

Hi there! Basically, social media marketing is the process of utilizing different social media channels to promote a product, service, and even affiliate offers...

You can use social media accounts to market products by:

1. Matching your offers to the right market (in other words, marketing your product/service to the right followers)
2. Creating high quality, engaging, and valuable contents which will inform your followers about the product/service you are promoting. The more engaging the content, the better. And don't forget to include videos and images since people will respond better if you have these in your contents.
3. Build a network by interacting/following different personalities who have the authority in the niche you belong into and establish a relationship with them. By constantly interacting with them, you help build up their reputation which will also be beneficial to your cause.
4. Build a strong relationship with your followers and never hesitate to engage in conversations with them...

Hope this helps!
