Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social media has traversed far greater heights than simply being a medium for user-generated content. Today, it’s a tool for consumer empowerment (we all witness big conglomerates being brought to their knees by that one dissatisfied tweet or widely shared post) and a gratifying brand-consumer partnership. Even companies that have long been dismissing social media as frivolous and flippant have started taking note of its benefits. They’ve realized that social media is not limited to games and light-hearted opinion polls (which are also hugely successful in creating affable brands), but can involve more serious discussions and insights that are invaluable when it comes to building strong brands. Unlike traditional marketing mediums, social media doesn’t swallow a huge chunk of your advertising and promotion budget. You don’t need to create cost-intensive and ineffectual marketing plans that leave you broke. All you need is some creativity, perceptiveness, and an intuitive understanding about your audience’s needs. More than sharp business acumen, you need a human touch. Social media gives your brand a human angle without breaking the bank. Currently, social media marketing is the most powerful tool that can help businesses to reach customers and prospects (whether small or not). But with over 88 percent of all companies selling on at least one social media platform, you can see how tempting it can be for the company to get lost in all that noise. To achieve more organic visibility, meet committed brand fans, and even generate more sales and leads on your company social media pages, you'll need a succinct marketing strategy to rise to the top. Thankfully, this book offers just that for you. The book will show you how to promote your brand on social media, peeling through the layers of the most popular social media sites to get to the heart of what makes an online marketing campaign effective. Whether you are either active on social media or have never had a Facebook account, this book will lead your social media marketing campaign every step of the way–through building your account and improving your profile, to posting content that your audience will want to connect with, and the different ways to advertising and promoting your brand for more views and followers. We will look at Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter, in this book and show you that given the fierce competition, social media marketing can be effective in your business. A strong presence on social media is something that the company can't afford to miss. Continue reading to see how to create a plan that will bring thousands of followers to your profile instantly.
