5 Ways for Immediate Success in Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is a high profit business. And with the promise of high return of investment (ROI) on internet marketing, a lot of individuals and companies are engaging on this trade. However, success on social media marketing is not always guaranteed. It takes a lot of effort, resources and a good public relation to succeed in social media marketing. Having establish a business blog using different social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook, here are 5 tips to ensure immediate success in social media marketing.


1. Make it simple and convenient for the audience to engage. High quality content is necessary in social marketing but it will be rendered useless if the personality of the business owner or manager is bad. In short, a good public relation with people and being approachable and easy to reach. Do not just talk to the audience, dialogue with them. Do this in a way that encourages them to engage in a conversation.

 Aside from the clients, it is beneficial to engage on the employees in the same manner. Make employees believe in the brand. Allow them to understand fully about the business so it will be easy and comfortable for them when they advertise the brand on future customers and prospects.

2. Create share-worthy articles and posts. High quality contents which can amaze the readers will make the audience want to share them to the people they are connected. This can expose the brand to other people and gain business prospects and clients. Posting as much share-worthy contents as possible will not only increase business recognition but it will also make internet conversation with the audience worthwhile.

3. Recognize and acknowledge the audience. The effectiveness of social media marketing is based on the relationship established between the company and the audience. The audience which later become the business advocates will generate leads and strengthen the brand. It is then in the utmost importance to take care of them.

Acknowledging the existence of the audience and recognizing their importance will be beneficial to the company. Doing little things for the audience will make them feel important for the company. Things such as answering emails and other inquiries, engaging in conversations using any social media tools and sending out newsletters to subscribers are not only low cost but will also generate leads and profit in the future.

4. Integrate all marketing techniques and tools. Although social media marketing uses different tools to engage with the audience, it does not necessarily mean that these social media tools should be used separately. Instead successful internet marketing companies combine these social media tools in interacting with their audience. One way of integrating these tools is by interlinking them. Content from the company website can be feed in Facebook and other blogging sites as well as promoting in the company website the Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook profiles to the audience using a "link button". It is important to provide several alternatives for the audience to engage with the company. Each audience differs in taste so let them choose the social media tool they prefer and comfortable with.

5. Work in your own pace. Although business is a competition, it does not suggest that a company should be following and imitating every move of the competitor. Focus on the own brand and act according to the goal and values of the company. Observing and analyzing the competitor is vital but the results and analysis should be use to determine the effectiveness and sales profit of the company.

SEO Blogging With 3 Useful Tips

As time passes and with Google leading the search engine industry, the methods of ranking to the top of search engine page is not as easy as it used to be. In fact, the search engine optimization techniques have evolved to cope up with Google algorithm. Even bloggers found out that what used to be an effective strategy for them have now become obsolete in accomplishing their goals. This article will provide 3 SEO techniques for bloggers which will aid them in dealing with the changes in trying to rank in the search engines.

1. Utilize archives and categories to get the post close to the main page.

The metrics of Google Analytics measure to elements which are the PageRank and domain authority. Every page in the website has a PageRank. In order to change the PageRank, the website can use internal and external links to the page. And the domain authority or also called as domain trust, is the collection of PageRank and other elements of the website.

Domain authority is a major factor of determining the search engine ranking of the website. Unfortunately, the benefits of domain authority are not equal in every page of the site. Only the pages closer to the main page enjoy most of the benefits while those at the farthest get the least.

In fact, Google algorithm limit the benefits of the domain authority to the pages that can be reached at 3 clicks maximum. The only wat to optimize this condition, it is recommended that website will have as many categories and archive as possible within the 3 clicks rule.

Action

  • Create many categories and distribute the posts in these categories
  • Develop an archive page and link it to the header

2. Enable PageRank

In the past years, PageRank can be directed to the important page through rel=”nofollow” and robots.txt boosting the domain authority to the important pages.

Unfortunately, this is not the case anymore. Even with nofollow, PageRank will still be wasted. So technically speaking this is not a great tactic anymore.

On the other hand, PageRank will move conveniently when nofollow on internal links is removed and robot.txt is not used to block pages. Today, even the less important pages can contribute to the PageRank of the important pages.

When bloggers do not want their page to be indexed, they can use the meta “noindex, follow” which still allows the PageRank to circulate.

Action

  • Get rid of nofollow in the internal links
  • Pages like “terms of services” should be separated from robot.txt
  • To the pages which the bloggers do not want to appear in SERPS, yet allow the PageRank to pass through, “noindex, follow” is the best option.

3. Link the Content Section

Google prefers organic links. Here are the links arrange according to how Google value them:

  • Content Section: This contains the most valuable links in the website.
  • Header: Organic links have more value than saleable links. Header has great value because most bloggers do not sell their head navigation links.
  • Side Navigation: Because of link exchange, link scheme and link marketing, this link does not have too great of a value for Google
  • Comment Sections: Quality comments could be valuable but because of the potential spam, this link becomes of lesser value to Google
  • Footer Links: This has no value at all

Action

  • Guest blogs has great value and trading quality contents for links is great as well.
  • Generating one-way links through building relationships using Social Media sites is another great idea.
