Social Media is a Two Way Conversation

Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn have a common trait: users and viewers can comment and respond. And you should respond back.

Nearly all purchase decisions begin with a conversation. but many businesses get so busy they post something and walk away, checking social media off their list of marketing tasks.

Maximise Each Network Differently

You’re tweeting your articles and posting them on your Facebook page. This is a good thing, but don’t forget to maximize the opportunities each medium provides.

For example, a personal trainer may want to build out a YouTube presence to post his weekly strength training sequence. Facebook is a wise idea for an artist – she could post pictures of her paintings and generate conversations with fans.

If you’re in to sports, Twitter may be the place for you, and Foursuare is great for a physical shop front.

Use it to Build Brand Recognition

What do you want your business to be known for? make sure those qualities are part of your marketing strategy on social media.

Choose the tone of your social media strategy and be consistent. When it comes to trustworthy branding, being predictable can be a very good thing. Pick your spot. Is it humour, sarcasm, satire, wit, academic, gentle, course?

Ensure your images also match the tone of the conversation you are trying to have.
