It seems like every few years, a new social network emerges from the woodwork and becomes popular. All too frequently, businesses and marketers shrug off social media as a means for traffic and lead generation. This is a huge mistake.

You see, social media has been around for ages, and with the rising popularity of technology, ease of use, and high speed connections – it's only here to stay for the long haul.

What this means is that you need to start taking action and marketing your brand, business, or products on the various social media platforms. You may not see the benefits or value in investing the time and efforts towards establishing yourself on any social networking site, and that's completely fine.

But by the end of this course, I hope to change your mind and get you excited to take action towards social marketing as a whole.

Without spending another minute of your time talking, let's just jump right into the 30 different ways that you can market your brand, business, products, or anything else, entirely using social media.

Ways To Market On Facebook

In this section we're going to look over and briefly explain just a few of the different ways that you can market your brand, business, or anything else on Facebook.

Create A Facebook “Page” For Your Business, Brand, Or Product

Facebook expanded years back to allow users to create what's known as a “Page” and it hosts all of the pertinent information about your brand, business, or anything else that you page is centered around. User's can like your page, and then they will see updates from you about anything you post. This is not only easy to do, it's also
one of the best ways to market on Facebook as a whole.

Join Groups That Are Relevant To Your Niche Or Brand

Groups are an extremely powerful marketing and community tool that you can utilize in so many ways. Essentially, groups exist for any sort of topic you can think of.
These groups may be public or private. What's neat about the group feature is that user's will receive notifications for every post, which means you can get guaranteed traffic if you contribute valuable content and posts.

Use Facebook Ads To Remarket To Prospects

Facebook custom audiences allow you to show ads to people who have already visited your website. This is called remarketing (also known as retargeting).
Advertisers can show product ads to Facebook users who left the website before purchasing a ticket.

Remarketing can be a very effective strategy because people rarely buy the first time they hear of a product or see an offer. This is especially true for big-ticket items like conferences and conventions.

Curate And Cross Post Content From Anywhere

This is almost a no brainer, but it needs to be mentioned. If you're a blogger, write articles, sell information products, or anything else, this is valuable to you. You should cross post anything you create on the web, on your Facebook page, or even in groups as well. Make sure that you don't post the entirety of an article or blog post, but rather summarize it or share a teaser, and then link to the full post at the end.

Run Paid (And Targeted) Advertisements On Facebook To Reach New People

When you consider how gigantic the audience is on Facebook, you realize that the advertising potential is also huge. You can laser target different niches and users depending keywords, interests, behaviors they've taken, and so much more. Better yet, there's countless courses out there that will teach you how to get clicks (and
sales) from Facebook for pennies each. Though we mentioned re-targeting user's before, there's enormous potential to target completely new user's as well. You can use ads to gain leads for your list, sales for products, or likes for your page.

As you can see, just from these few strategies revealed, Facebook is an extremely powerful tool for creating traffic to any website or page. You should always make it a point to share valuable content, and put your own twist on the methods you practice.

Ways To Market On Twitter

Twitter has been around for a while now and it's definitely not going anywhere.
What's neat about Twitter is that it tends to have a very dedicated user base which check their timeline regularly. Furthermore, people will always see your tweets, meaning that your posts don't get hidden, unliked Facebook's algorithms. You can easily drive tons of FREE highly targeted traffic using Twitter for any niche or business, and to prove it, here's just a few methods for marketing on the platform.

Go ahead and follow those accounts, or even interact with them. This is an

Upload Photos Of The Inner-Workings of Your Business Or Your Life

Ways To Market On Social Media (In General)

This is an excellent way to not only save time with having to post on all of the different accounts, but also a way to generate traffic between the different social networks as well.

Research By Viewing Other Page's And Learning From Their Successes

This is dead simple and very useful. Just head out to other popular page's in your niche and look at the posts that they make they end up being the most successful.

Automate The Process Whenever Possible

It should come as no surprise that for pretty much every single social network out there, there's a compatible tool or software that will help you automate your marketing in certain aspects. These are all around the net, and they range from free to monthly payments. It's up to you to find the one that works best for you. This can save you a ton of time, effort, and everythign in between. Plus you may end learning a few things you didn't know before.

Closing Thoughts

So, there you have it. That may have been a lot to go through, but as you went through it all, I'm hoping you had some ideas and realized some benefits that these networks can have on your marketing campaigns.

Social networks aren't difficult to get started using, and in all honesty, it's a lot better to set up shop and at least make an effort to use them. With that done, you can later pick them up and use them, and your brand will at least be visible on the internet which can be a major help.

For instance, if you own a brick and mortar store (with a physical store front), having a Facebook page with details can help you with business a lot. Adding things such as hours of operation, location(s), stock, specials / sales, and everything else can all contribute to your physical store receiving more traffic.

For an online business, having a social persence nowadays is an absolute necessity, so don't skip over setting up the accounts.

With all of that in mind, I hope you learned a few things from this course, and I want to personally thank you for taking the time to go through all of this. Now get out there and start marketing on social media! Good luck!
