How to Run a Successful Social Media Marketing Campaign

Questions and Answers

Social media marketing is the process where a business owner, such as yourself, uses the power of sites like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr to promote your brand or products. Because traffic from social media sites is usually highly targeted, the visitors are more likely to turn into customers and buyers than visitors who find your site via a search engine query. Another important benefit of traffic from social media is that it is essentially free or relatively low cost compared to other forms of traffic generation. However, social media marketing is a time consuming and very involved effort that is not appropriate for everyone. This form of marketing requires a good deal of involvement, both in terms of keeping up with all the latest trends and in maintaining ongoing relationships with customers and fans. Social media invites a two-way conversation between the poster of the information and the reader. If the business owner ignores the second part of the equation, then the marketing effort is most likely doomed to fail. In order to execute a successful social media marketing campaign, the business owner should review this list of traits that define a successful campaign.

EditSteps
  1. 1
    What does your audience want? If you're not sure, carry out a survey on existing and/or possible consumers to learn about what they would look for from your company.You can structure your promotional activities around your findings.
  2. 2
    Post regular, useful or entertaining updates.
  3. 3
    Build relationships. As mentioned above, creating relationships with your customers is one of the parts of social media marketing that gives it so much power. You can build these relationships by posting updates that users actually want to read, not just a never ending stream of sales pitches. Use your updates to inform, entertain and address the needs of your customers. Open up a two-way conversation with them via the comments sections and message boards that many social media sites include. These relationships build credibility and help keep your company in the mind of the reader.
  4. 4
    Forget about going viral. Viral content is a posting or piece of information that someone has created that is shared by thousands, if not millions, of people across the Internet. This posting will often find itself on dozens of different sites. Some even make their way onto television news, and they will more than likely spawn many parodies and response postings. A piece of viral content can be a gold mine, albeit a short lived one, for the poster. However, determining whether or not something will go viral is like trying to write on water. Millions of dollars have been wasted by companies both big and small trying to create something that will go viral. Ninety nine times out of a hundred, that piece of content that some marketing team thought would be viral wound up being ignored completely.
  5. 5
    Maintain a consistent message. This is where a social media manager or the hiring of an SEO services company comes in really handy. When you are posting information across several different sites, it is easy for the message you are trying to convey to become garbled as you try to tailor that message for a variety of media and audiences. The voice you choose for Facebook will not work on Reddit or Tumblr, and many business owners do not have the experience or the time to learn the local lingo of all the various social media outlets. If you do not have the budget for an SEO services company, then it is best to limit yourself to the social media sites that you are comfortable writing for. Many website communities are rude, if not outright hostile, to someone who shows up and obviously has no interest in the site other than posting their own promotional material.
  6. 6
    Participate in the community. As stated above, social media sites are usually tightly knit communities, particularly sites like Tumblr, Reddit and Digg. The users of these sites can spot marketers a mile away, usually because the marketer does nothing more on the site than post information about various products. In order to gain trust (and followers) within one of these communities, you must be willing to participate as well. This is usually done in the form of commenting on the postings of others and the sharing or re-sharing of posts that have absolutely nothing to do with marketing or consumerism. If you choose to hire an SEO services company, it will have a person or a team of people who are dedicated to maintaining community involvement on your behalf.
  7. 7
    Be careful of what you post. In the rush to get new postings out the door, it is often tempting to skip editing, proofreading and screening of the content. However, this is a very dangerous game. Unfiltered content has been the downfall of many companies trying to establish a social media presence, and some companies have even lost their entire business because they allowed someone to post rude or demeaning comments directed at unhappy customers. Even a simple spelling error can turn an innocent post into a racial slur, so it is imperative that you screen, edit and proofread all content before posting it.
  8. 8
    Attract the public's attention.
  9. 9
    Sales promotion in fact is the process of self-promotion: bold, careful. Can capture every word meaning, and that contains "only the fittest can be invincible".
  10. 10
    Alongside social media, there are other ways to promote your business on the Internet.
  11. 11
    Raise awareness inside and outside of the Internet. Use a variety of promotions to strengthen people's interest, such as drawings, coupons and discounts. Advertising in the real world will help if you can afford it within your budget!
  12. 12
    Make sure that you personalize your social media pages.shows how hands-on you are about this aspect of your business because it gives them the impression you can handle them in the same manner. It is not always advisable to copy someone else's social media strategy, but it would be better if you do it your own way by taking ownership and personalizing your website, it will be enable you to engage in conversation with potential customers.

    EditTips
    • By using these social media marketing ideas and tips, you are now armed with the basic information you need to run a successful campaign. However, this is a lot of work for one person, particularly a busy business owner, to try to do alone. If the workload is overwhelming, then consider hiring an SEO services company to take on some, if not all, of the work for you.
    EditWarnings
    • Do not underestimate the power of social media, it can be an effective tool to promote your product, but it may also be damaging to your brand if not properly used. These are the things that you need to avoid when utilizing social media:
    • Vaguebooking - Stop beating around the bush just to get attention, be clear and concise about your post. A lot of people finds vaguebooking very annoying. You don't want to end up on potential customer's spam or junk folder right? Be creative and relevant.
    • Hijacking Hashtag - Remember when Kenneth Cole hijacked the #Cairo hashtag to promote his new spring collection, it was totally unrelated as people were dying during that time and he used the hashtag to get his tweets out there more frequently.
    • Buying follower and likes - Surely paying for advertising may generate traffics or leads to your website, but it doesn't mean that you have to buy followers on tweeter and likes on Facebook. This method does not provide you quality audiences, they really would not care whatever you post, there will be no engagement and eventually they will diminish sooner than you expected.

    Hi there.

    Brett Rutecky here with Mike from Maine. 

    How are things going in your online business? 

    Are you making the kind of money that you want to make online? 

    If not, the problem is very likely that you're not getting enough traffic... 

    ...or the traffic methods you're using are flawed.
    THE BIG KEY TO ONLINE SUCCESS IS HIGH-QUALITY TRAFFIC THAT CONVERTS
    Traffic is the #1 thing everyone needs.
    And the more... the better!
    Unfortunately very few courses and training teach you how to do it the right way...

    Most traffic methods out there are expensive, complicated, take forever to get you results, or just don't work.

    The bottom line is...Without traffic... You're SUNK!
    If nobody is visiting your online store, website, or affiliate offers...

    You are OUT OF BUSINESS.

    And not any old traffic is going to work for you.

    You need highly targeted traffic that converts visitors into buyers.

    Not too long ago I was looking for a better way to get traffic to the affiliate offers I was promoting and even my own products.

    The methods I was using weren't working as well as they used to, and I was testing a few new methods for getting quality traffic flowing.

    I looked at everything from paid traffic methods to free traffic methods...

    I started working with some newer methods for getting results with paid traffic...

    BUT, I QUICKLY DISCOVERED THAT PAID TRAFFIC IS LITERALLY GETTING HARDER BY THE DAY.
    Competition on paid traffic platforms is increasing and making it a lot harder to get results and turn a profit... 

    Not to mention, paid traffic can have a MASSIVE learning curve. 

    It can also end up being VERY expensive if you're not sure what you're doing. 

    It's easy to spend hundreds of dollars, or even more, testing a new traffic source. 

    That's when I started looking at FREE traffic methods.
    Of course, free traffic has it own set of pitfalls...


    Most traditional free traffic methods aren't very targeted, they take a lot of time to get going, and the traffic just doesn't convert all that well. 

    Luckily I stumbled upon an traffic method that doesn't get used as much as it should be.. 

    DON'T WORRY...
    I'm not talking about anything that costs money to get started or spammingyour personal Facebook wall...What I'm referring to is 

    Facebook Groups...
    Why You Need To Take A Close Look At Using Facebook Groups To Generate Traffic...
     It's 100% FREE to get started with Facebook groups You can have as many groups as you want Anyone can create them (even if you're a newbie)... you don't need any special skills or background No website, email list, money, or experience is required to get started The traffic is highly targeted and converts like crazy in all sorts of niches Promote anything you want... your own products, affiliate products, and even physical products

    I created my first Facebook group and now have a following that is growing by the day...
    LOOK AT SOME OF THE RESULTS I AM 
    GETTING FROM MY FACEBOOK GROUP...
    About Half Of Those Clicks Purchased Through My Affiliate Link And Made Me $2.57 Per Click...That's $665 From Just ONE Facebook Post...
    AS I CONTINUED TO GET MORE AND MORE FREE TRAFFIC WITH MY FACEBOOK GROUP AND MY PARTNER MIKE BECAME CURIOUS WHAT EXACTLY I WAS DOING...


    My results seemed to be a bit better... and faster
    than most people using Facebook groups for traffic.

    Mike said...

    "Hey Brett... I noticed you've been posting in your Facebook group... How's that working out for you?""It's going really well... I'm making thousands of dollars per month with 100% FREE traffic from my group...""Does it really convert that well?""It sure does... Every time I post in my group, I get hundreds of clicks and make hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars, in sales... AND, it works for affiliate offers, my own offers, eCom... you name it!""Is this something that anyone can do?... After all, it's not like you're an inexperienced marketer... Is it easy for just you... or easy for anyone?"Well, it's easy for me because I'm doing things a little different than everyone else... I've put together a PROVEN 3-step system for getting traffic with Facebook Groups that uses TWO of my own powerful software apps... 
    But, ANYONE can take this system and see the same types of results I'm getting... Give it a try...
    Mike Put My 3-Part Facebook Traffic System To The Test...And Here Are His Results Within Just 30 Days...


    Mike came back to me and said that we MUST share this with everyone...
