From LinkedIn to Twitter and beyond, social media has become essential to branding in multiple industries. Here we identify five ways to invade and conquer it, step by step.
1. Visuals
Content must always be clean, structured and tidy. We lose interest and are easily distracted online so, break up text into paragraphs, use subheadings, maintain graphics that are visually appealing and relevant to keep our attention! Go full Inbound Marketing - Quality attracts customers!
2. Use Analytics
Use analytics to find out what content your audience is actually interested in. If the data shows a rise in views, it is an indication that you are providing more engaging content (and vice versa). The more data you gather, the richer your activities online will be.
3. Interact with your audience
Users are more engaged with companies that engage with them. Just as engaging with content that belongs to influencers gets you more recognition, replying to your followers increases your interactions and overall value of your profile. People like to be heard, replying gives people a platform to be heard.
4. Content
When you know your audience, you know your content. By knowing who your viewers are, you will immediately improve your marketing results. So, if they feel strongly about your content they will engage. Sometimes engaging a niche can be beneficial because it points to you as being a specialist and locks in a loyal following that really need specific information. Read up and make your content better!
5. Professionalism & Grammar
Maintain a professional manner with all content to build credibility, proof-read to limit typos and where necessary give a strong opinion to position yourself as a thought-leader and at other times be diplomatic with opinions to facilitate discussion with others’ ideas and discussions – this is even more important when discussing controversial issues.
