What is social media marketing?
Effectively employing social media marketin for business may require a change in mindset. If you're like most people, you got into social media first as an individual person and later for business. You started out using Facebook to find and connect with friends, and Linkedin to do the same for professional contacts. What you ended up with was a list of friends of friends or contacts. As marketers, you should be familiar with the value of a list.
Looked at from a marketing angle, social media is just another way of building a mailing list. You may not want to start marketing your business aggressively to friends, relatives and contacts, so you need to go about setting up a different list for your business and adding people to it. That is where the value of Facebook business pages, Linkedin groups, and business accounts on YouTube and Twitter play a role. Irresepective of whether the people who end up on this new list for your business are your friends, professional contacts, friends and contacts of theirs, others who have found you on their own, or those you have sought out through promotional campaigns or direct contact, what you end up with is still a list. What you've done is leverage the power of the internet to empower others to help you build the list, or join it voluntarily. Pretty cool, huh? So what will you do with that list?
In order for inbound marketing to be effective at increasing the traffic to your website, you need to make a commitment to regularly publishing fresh and search optimized content on your website. But why invest the resources into developing that content if you're not going to tell anyone about it? You also need to promote your valuable on-site content, your blog and your premium content offerings in other places online. By using the lists you have bulit on sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Linkedin and the literally hundreds of others that serve spefic age, interest or demographic niches to promote your content, you can drive advocacy and referral, make promotions and offer, build community and grow your list, which should translate into additional traffic and valuable backlinks to your website over time.
