Social Media Marketing Strategies:
Content Marketing:
Most Valuable thing in the smm is the Content, because high-quality content will do the marketing for you. You shouldn't have to bookmark or pin your own content, rather than focusing on writing such great/valuable content that your readers read your content.
Remember, your job is to write high-quality content, and provide easy access to social media services where your readers/followers can share your content in groups and also with their friends. So write high quality valuable content, and let the rest happen automatically.
Do not Over Optimize Keywords:
SMM helps you achieve top rankings on search engines for specific keyword. But don't do over optimization of keywords.
Don't use the same keyword (Anchor Text) everywhere because it creates a decreasing in ranking on search results which affects your Page rank.
Link your Inner Page Not Home Page:
Your home page link is not a perfect one to share on your Profile, while networking on Social Medias. For Example, Give a link to your about us page instead of personal introduction of your site.
Avoid Posting Self Promotional Links:
If all of your posts are self-promotional links, then you will ultimately become a part of the "spam" and eventually be filtered out from your target market. Then your followers may unfollow or delete you.
Give Involvement in Replying Blogs:
Get Participation with discussions on Blogs. Don't be afraid of exposing opinion or to say your thoughts on topics. Your unique voice in the market will impress your customers and visitors.
Make Visitors Via Valuable Updates:
The people who follow you will subscribe to your updates. And want to hear your latest updates. If they are not satisfied with your updates quickly they will unfollow you.
There is a right and a wrong way to link on social media sites.
The wrong way is to say Visit my site / Read my blog. The right way is to share a natural link whether it is something interested for your readers from your own website or from other websites.
Hope these tips on social media marketing strategy will help to grow your business faster than any other means.
