As
always, each morning you check your email, look over your website and pour over
your social media stats. As always, the results
are very disappointing. Once again your posts, quotes and your published
articles didn’t get the attention that you thought they deserved. Don’t those
followers, network connections and friends understand how much time you spent contributing
to your social media when you could have been doing so many other things
instead? You listened to others who
emphasize the importance of having social media accounts and how easy it is to
make money. You did everything; you got the accounts set up, you posted and
shared once in the morning and once in the evening so how come others got so
many “likes” but yours got zilch? It’s frustrating;
especially after you did everything right, or did you?
I
believe there is a direct correlation between social media and a gym
membership. Yes ladies and gentlemen you heard me right, or should I say you
read me right! Getting a membership at
the popular fitness center and not attending regularly won’t help you to lose
weight or gain muscles and have the body you desire. Accordingly, setting up a social media
account and posting a couple of pictures and quotes here and there won’t get
you the results you are looking for either.
It’s
time to admit that you can use some help with social media ideas and strategies
that work! For instance, posting and sharing more than once or twice a day will
greatly enhance your exposure. Getting the right social media mediums for the
business type you have will ensure market saturation without wasting time and
effort on markets that have nothing to do with your business. You need to be informative and helpful to
readers seeking useful advice from other experts in their line of
work/business. You must be engaging and interesting if you want to grab and
hold onto your reader’s attention. Show
your readers that you are an expert in your field; a human being who cares what
customers think and that you value their opinions. And the last but least,
remember that you must stand out in the crowd.
That means it’s okay to be little weird but don’t go overboard. One more
thing you need to remember; it’s all about marketing on a social platform where
the main purpose is selling your product or service without being pushy. Once
you get the hang of it you will be on your way to success. Social media is here
to stay so grab the technology by the ears and make it work for you….happy
postings!
Very sociably,
