Strategies

These strategies are for becoming instant famous

1. Decide which platform you want to use

As a novice in social media, you should focus on one or two social media sites rather than attempting to work on all platforms at the same time. This is a common error made by newcomers, and as a result, they resign without gain. Finding influencers and analyzing where they have success is a good approach to figure out which platform is most suited to your niche.

2. Optimize your social profile

Once you've decided which social media platforms you'll utilise (at least initially), the next step is to improve your profiles on those sites. By optimizing your profiles, you enhance your chances of gaining more followers and also help your SEO efforts.

3. Connect your websites

After you've completed your social media profiles, the following step is to link your website to your social media pages. There is a certain method to follow for each platform, and it is critical that you follow it correctly. When the two are properly linked, search engines and social media websites know which website belongs to which social media page.
  • For Facebook, you can follow these steps.
  • You may use this technique to validate your website on Pinterest.
  • You can follow this on Twitter.

4. Add social media button on your web

Aside from linking your website to the appropriate company sites on social media, you should also include social media buttons on your website so that users can quickly share your material. There are various ways and plugins to achieve this depending on the platform; I recommend searching Google for "how to add social network buttons to xxxxxx" - substitute xxxxx with the platform on which your website is built.

5. Find and follow the influencer

So far, we've chosen the best social media tools for our niche, optimized our social media accounts, linked our website to social media sites, and added buttons to our pages to encourage further engagement. The apparent next step is to discover individuals to follow, but more crucially, to steadily grow our tribe of followers. To gain more followers, I believe there are five fundamental actions to do, which are mentioned in points 6-10 below. Before you begin, you should identify and follow the influencers in your niche.

6. Keep a balance between following and followers

Once you begin following individuals, bear in mind that it is best to maintain a balance between the number of people you follow and the number of people that follow you back.

7. Share interesting content

This is the starting point for a good social media marketing strategy. When it comes to producing material, we often say that ‘content is king,' and this is also true in social media. If you post engaging and useful information, you may increase the number of re-shares, visits to your website, and, in certain cases, buyers.

8. Post much time per day

People who are just starting out on social media frequently ask, "How many times should I post every day?" The answer is determined by the network. Many research have been conducted to investigate the influence of posting frequency, and some recommended practices are as follows:
  • As many times as you want on your Facebook personal page
  • Facebook business page no more than 1-2 times each day, no more than 7 times per week
  • Twitter - The more you tweet, the more people will see you.
  • Pinterest – a few times a day is plenty

9. Don't forget to follow back

Most individuals are concerned with how to gain new followers, but they forget to reciprocate by following those who have previously followed them. Every day, make it a practice to look at who is already following you and pick who to follow back. If you don't do this on a regular basis, some people will unfollow you, which is why you may see a drop in the number of followers from time to time.

10. Follow the rules

Social media networks have policies in place to keep spammers at bay. For example, Twitter puts a restriction on the number of people you may follow each day; Facebook has its own set of limitations, and so on. This implies that it may take some time to acquire thousands of followers, so be patient and avoid rushing into results by breaching the rules (your account may be suspended) or spending money on ‘buying followers or tweets' or anything similar.
