As Social Media becomes an even bigger part of today’s marketing strategy for large and small companies alike, so does the need to stand out and stay relevant with posts and maintain a social media presence. • Sites like facebook, twitter, and linkedin are the main forms of social media outreach for businesses. It can become hard to manage all of these sites at once but lucky for companies there are social media hosting sites such as Hootesuite, which allows you to create and schedule posts on all of these sites from one easy dashboard. Here are a few tips from Short stack and the Social Skinny.
1. Post an interesting fact. For a blog or article, write a status update that highlights the most catching line. It stirs the interest of readers and encourages them to click the URL link. 2. Share a tip. A tip in a status update has to start with the word “TIP!” It ensures the status update will be noticeable in the newsfeeds of fans and followers. It applies to all kinds of status updates. 3. Endorse content. Do not shy away from endorsing or commending the status update of other users. Throw in an adjective whenever applicable because it changes the way users react to a post.
4. Don’t always ask a question. It is not mandatory to ask the thoughts of fans and followers through a status update. Continue to share great content, even without feedback from fans. It will come. 5. Inspire action. Ask fans to “Pin” an image on Pinterest. Do the equivalent for other social networking sites. 6. Tell users what to expect. Use the status update to tell users the length of a video or a very long article. 7. Add a P.S.! The addition of “P.S” at the end of an email is an effective way to catch the attention of readers.
8. Use short links. Rather than copy and paste long URL links to a status update, use short link services, such as goo.gl and bit.ly. 9. Use images with text. Add text to an image to make the post stick out in the newsfeed and on the timeline. 10. Ask users to comment. This infringes on Tip 4 but you may ask users to comment every now and then. A comment has a higher EdgeRank score than a like. For more details visit : www.barebones-marketing.com
