Some benefits you will get from social media marketing:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">It helps increase your brand awareness.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Social media is one most effective marketing channels you can make use of to increase your audience\u2019s awareness of your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">With millions of social media users in 2022, it\u2019s no question you can get more eyeballs from your target audience there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Essentially, what social media does is it organically drives engagement in the form of likes, comments, reposts, and shares.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">These types of social engagement help increase your brand awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If there is some social engagement going on between your brand and your audience already, it\u2019ll only be a matter of time before your number of social media followers puffs up.<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">It generates leads and boosts conversions.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you haven\u2019t gotten a clue how powerful social engagement is, keep reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">When you do social engagement and all that jazz, the next thing that will happen is you\u2019ll get more likes and more shares from your followers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">And when you get more content shares, that\u2019s when you could potentially generate more leads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Yet, we all know that business isn\u2019t just about getting more leads. You need ROI and sales so you need to convert these leads as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Here are some ways you can generate leads and boost conversions on social media:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">1. Integrate video with your promotions.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you\u2019re still on the fence about whether short-form or stop-motion videos will work for you or not, stop right there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Why do Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok are the most popular social media platforms for both small businesses and big brands?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Because nowadays, videos are a thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you\u2019re looking to target Millennials and Gen Zs, then it\u2019s high time you include creating video content for your products or service promotions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">In a statistics done by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyzowl.com\/video-marketing-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">Wyzowl<\/a>, they surveyed 582 unique respondents and found that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">87% of marketers credit video increasing their (website) traffic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Video has helped 94% of marketers better explain their product or service.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">86% of marketers say video helped them generate leads.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">81% of marketers say video helped them directly increase sales.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">93% of marketers say video increased brand awareness.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Meanwhile, on the consumers\u2019 side, here\u2019s what Wyzowl found:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">96% of customers watched an explainer video to learn more about the product or service.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">88% of people said they were convinced to buy a product or service after watching a brand\u2019s video.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">78% of consumers say watching a brand\u2019s video convinced them to download an app or software. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Interestingly, 73% of the respondents say they\u2019d prefer to watch a short video when they want to learn more about a product or service.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">I hope these numbers will encourage you to start doing short video promotions as early as now. It\u2019s never too late to start.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">2. Make compelling calls to action<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Over the years, people have become more conscious and savvy when it comes to calls to action (CTA). Unfortunately, hard selling doesn\u2019t work on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Don&#8217;t add to the noise by making small changes to your social media profile and captions. Adding a bit of personality to your captions won\u2019t hurt. In fact, it can encourage more engagement with your audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Take a look at one of Melissa\u2019s Instagram image captions. See how they manage to stay relevant with the summer season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-206900 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-18-at-11.03.46-PM.png\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-18-at-11.03.46-PM.png\" alt=\"jelly shoes\" width=\"938\" height=\"552\" data-wp-pid=\"206900\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-18-at-11.03.46-PM.png 938w, https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-18-at-11.03.46-PM-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-18-at-11.03.46-PM-768x452.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 938px) 100vw, 938px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 938px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 938\/552;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">It only goes to show that Melissa values engagement with their followers more than pushing to sell their footwear on the spot.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">3. Make your landing page mobile-friendly<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">With 5.31 billion unique mobile phone users around the world (and still growing at 1.8% every year), it\u2019s in your best interest to create a seamless experience for your customers. To do this, your social landing page must be at the storefront of your social media account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Let\u2019s take a look at Lander\u2019s Facebook page:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-206909 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ezgif.com-gif-maker-1.gif\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ezgif.com-gif-maker-1.gif\" alt=\"Landers mobile landing page\" width=\"300\" height=\"667\" data-wp-pid=\"206909\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/667;\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">When you click on \u201cShop on Website\u201d button, it will take you directly to Lander\u2019s site landing page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">As you can see, the featured items on sale above the fold are mostly focused on healthy food. At the same time, you can instantly see the name of the items and prices when you scroll down to its page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Also, it didn\u2019t take long for the webpage to load. The site speed wasn\u2019t bad as well. Landers made sure that their customers have easy access to their website for smooth checkout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">I also took Google\u2019s mobile-friendly test for Landers to see if they\u2019re mobile-optimized already.

When you have both of these important factors, you surely create a seamless experience for your customers. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">4. Use user-generated content as your social proof<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you want to increase your sales, <a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/digital-marketing-statistics\/#User-Generated_Content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nothing is as powerful as using your customers\u2019 photos as your social proof<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">In this day and age, people give more prominence to authenticity. They can identify outright if the brand makes enough effort to engage with the customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">While some brands have wisened up with their marketing strategies, some still need work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">To do this, you may use a short video or a photo taken by your customer with your product in use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Here\u2019s one great social proof example from Rob and Mara\u2019s Instagram account:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-206906 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-19-at-2.09.43-AM.png\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-19-at-2.09.43-AM-1024x566.png\" alt=\"Rob and Mara shoes\" width=\"604\" height=\"334\" data-wp-pid=\"206906\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-19-at-2.09.43-AM.png 1280w, https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-19-at-2.09.43-AM-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-19-at-2.09.43-AM-1024x566.png 1024w, https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-19-at-2.09.43-AM-768x425.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 604px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 604\/334;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">There is not much more evidence you need to know that Rob and Mara appreciate the photos taken from their clients than this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">My two cents? Try to get as much social proof from your customers as you can and use it to gain more leads and boost your sales.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">It helps you with an almost instantaneous customer service<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">As more brands jump into the social media bandwagon, people have begun setting their expectations in getting almost immediate customer feedback and interaction. And you can\u2019t blame customers. They want to make sure that they\u2019re getting the value for what they\u2019re paying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Some businesses still don\u2019t know that customer service can build meaningful relationships between brands and their customers. In fact, 71% of <\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">people who have had a positive experience with a brand on a social media platform are more likely to recommend it to their friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Helps build relationships with your customers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">When you connect or engage with your social media followers, you\u2019re likely building relationships with them. When you reply with their comments or questions or put the effort into helping your customers in any way that you can, these are ways you\u2019re nurturing them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">The good thing about fostering relationships with your customers is that it\u2019s easier to ask questions about your product or know their challenges that were solved by your product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Also, if you want to foster loyalty from your customers, you might want to consider a giveaway on occasion to gain their trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">It helps you understand your competitors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Because most brands and businesses use social media, chances are your competitors are there, too. And with that in mind, social media allows you to check out and understand how your competitor do their marketing strategy or campaigns, interact with their customers and find which product they\u2019re promoting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Knowing how your competitor moves provide you the opportunity to create a more effective marketing strategy for your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">How does social media marketing work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">There are 5 pillars that will help make your social media marketing work. These are:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Strategy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">You will not be able to do social media marketing right without a sound strategy in place. You need a strategy to identify which goal you need to prioritize, which content resonates with your customers and your brand, and when you should implement your marketing campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Furthermore, a well-thought-out social media marketing strategy can help you identify which social media channels you might want to focus more of your energy on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">The biggest mistake most brands make is that they try to be present on every social media platform they could get their hands on. This strategy might seem like a good way to find out which platform gets the most engagement, but analyzing the data won\u2019t be easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">It\u2019s best that you focus on a maximum of 3 social media platforms and put all your efforts to engage with your customers there. If you want to know where most of your customers are, do your research and create your customer avatar or marketing persona.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Creating a marketing persona or customer avatar will also help you choose which content gets the most engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you want to reach your goals, creating a social media marketing strategy is a must. A <strong>social media marketing strategy<\/strong> provides clarity on why you want to reach your goals. I\u2019ll discuss more of this in a while. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Planning and Publishing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Planning saves you time and effort in coming up with ideas for which content gets the most engagement from your audience and figuring out when is the right time to post content. You can avoid adding to the social media noise when you plan your content ahead of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">You can organize your content schedule by creating a <strong>social media content calendar<\/strong>. A social media calendar helps you schedule which content is ideal for your audience, and be consistent in publishing content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Ideally, you can post content on your social platforms 3-4 times a week for consistency and grow your online presence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/grow-social-media-presence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow_noopener noopener\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Learn how you can grow your social media presence in 12 steps.<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Listening and Engagement<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">The best way to understand your customers better is through listening and engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">A growing following and a business entail conversations with customers. This is when social monitoring and social listening come to your aid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/social-monitoring-and-social-listening-different\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow_noopener noopener\">Social monitoring<\/a> is a reactive way of keeping track of what your customers say about your brand. You do this by responding to your customers\u2019 feedback, queries, and comments in real-time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">This approach gives you better insight into what your customers say about your product or service. In addition, this provides you the opportunity to engage more with your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Analytics and Report<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">You can\u2019t measure what you don\u2019t track, so it\u2019s crucial to keep tabs on how your social media marketing performs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Unlike social monitoring, <a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/social-monitoring-and-social-listening-different\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow_noopener noopener\">social listening<\/a> is proactive. It\u2019s almost similar to social monitoring in the sense that you still do gather feedback and comments from your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Yet for listening, every data gathered is used for analysis to improve your social media marketing strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">To do this, you will need social listening tools to help you gather data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Gathering data can help you gain insight and pick up what\u2019s trending in your industry, and finetune your marketing campaigns to outperform your competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Advertising<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Any digital marketing campaign at some point needs a boost that involves both organic and paid advertising. Social media marketing is no exception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">The majority of social media channels offer free sign-ups to users, and for them to provide a better user experience, they offered paid promotions to advertisers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Don\u2019t get me wrong but paid social media advertising is good in the sense that it helps you get a wider audience reach, apart from your organic social media followers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you want to find your target audience, social media advertising platforms can help you precisely identify who they are based on their behavior, demographics, and which electronic device they use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you want to build brand loyalty and recognition or increase conversion, invest in social media advertising.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">How to create your social media marketing strategy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Your social media marketing strategy must provide how you\u2019re going to achieve your social media marketing goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Essentially, your strategy will serve as your roadmap so you can get to your destination with success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">To give you a context on how you will create your social media strategy, here are some steps needed:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Identify and choose your social media marketing goal for your brand<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you want to reach your goal, you need to answer your \u201cwhy\u201d. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">For your social media strategy to work, you need to have specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. Without SMART goals, you can\u2019t track your progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Make at least three social media marketing goals to make them more achievable first.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Learn about your audience by doing research<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Nothing can be truer than this quote \u201cIf you sell to everyone, you\u2019re selling to no one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Don\u2019t fall into the trap of marketing your product or service to everyone. Create your audience persona from the get-go to save you time, effort, and money in running campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you don\u2019t know how to create your persona, think about the audience you\u2019re trying to reach and figure out why you\u2019re targeting them for your product or service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">What pain points or problems do they have that you want to solve?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Get to know your followers or customers to a deeper level so you can easily engage with them on your content posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Choose which social media platform you will use for marketing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Don\u2019t overwhelm yourself by setting up an account on every social media platform you can find.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">To get a head start, choose which social media platform you will often post your content. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">But, when you do this, make sure you have done your research already and identify which network is best for engaging with your customers, promoting your company culture, customer feedback, and user-generated content.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Do social media audit and identify your most important KPIs and metrics<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">To track your progress, focus on metrics that provide real value for your business like engagement, reach, conversion rates, hashtag performance, and click-through rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Identify what works and what doesn\u2019t, which network the majority of your audience use and how are they using it, and how does your competitor fare with their online presence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Doing an audit and identifying your most important KPIs will help you focus on your social media marketing goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Get to know your industry competitor<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">When you keep your competitor close, you gain insight into their social media strategy. You can gauge which social media platform is their weakness, and which one is their strength. You can do this with a competitive analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">A competitive analysis allows you to determine who your competitor is and what they&#8217;re doing well or wrong. With competitive analysis, you can easily identify opportunities to outsmart them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">While it\u2019s not bad to compete for head to head with your brand rival, it\u2019s going to be an uphill battle. If you want to make your social media marketing strategy work, focus on your competitor\u2019s weakness instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Create a social media content calendar<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">A social media marketing strategy without a social media content calendar won\u2019t do you good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Your strategy always comes with a plan. Without a plan, you won\u2019t get to your destination. A social media content calendar serves as your planning tool so you can easily prepare images or videos, and write captions or short content ahead of time. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you prepare your content ahead of time, you will be able to create posts designed to engage your audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Once you\u2019re done creating content, it\u2019s time to schedule these accordingly. See which time of day you receive the most engagement with your content posts and stick to that schedule going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Create engaging and compelling content<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">A good mix of educational and entertaining content works on almost every social media platform. When you have both of these elements in your content, you\u2019re creating engaging and compelling content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">In addition, if you want to keep your audience engaged with your social media platform, you need to align your posts with what purpose your social media channels serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">For example, if your goal for LinkedIn is to share your company culture and values, your content must be aligned with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">If you\u2019re using Facebook for your giveaways, be consistent in creating Facebook Live video content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">For example, you can use VEED, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veed.io\/tools\/screen-recorder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a free online screen recorder and video editing tool<\/a> used by content creators around the world in making videos for social media posts. You can use the free version to record up to 10 minutes (perfect for TikTok), then add subtitles and you&#8217;re done. It works on Windows, Mac, and mobile, so you can use it even if you&#8217;re on the go. They&#8217;ve got everything covered as well with their 100% renewable energy powered servers so you won&#8217;t have to worry about environmental impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Get creative. Create content that is both suited to your audience and to your brand\u2019s purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/seo-hacker.com\/types-digital-marketing\/#10_Video_Marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow_noopener noopener\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Also read: 10 Types of Digital Marketing Channels to Try [in 2022]<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Different social media platforms and their statistics<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Now that we\u2019ve covered almost everything you need to know about social media marketing, you might ask:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Which social media platform will get me more leads and increase conversions?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">As I mentioned earlier, it entirely depends on your goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">However, I want to help you choose which social media platform will help you achieve success with your social media marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">So, here are the most popular social media platforms in January 2022 including their statistics and their uses:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Facebook<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Users<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/datareportal.com\/essential-facebook-stats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">2.9 billion monthly active users<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Top 3 dominant age groups<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/376128\/facebook-global-user-age-distribution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">25-34, 18-24, 35-44<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Best for<\/strong>: business to consumers, direct to consumers, brand awareness, advertising<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Facebook places first in the most active social media platform rankings to this day, in spite of the so-called \u201cadpocalypse\u201d, and surrounding controversies with the platform. 43.4% of Facebook\u2019s advertising audience is female, and 56.6% is men.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">YouTube<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Users<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.youtube\/press\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">2 billion monthly active users<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Top 3 dominant age groups<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/296227\/us-youtube-reach-age-gender\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">15-25, 26-35, 36-45<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Best for:<\/strong> business to business, business to consumer, how-to videos, brand awareness, long-form edutainment videos<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Because YouTube is the second most popular platform, the majority of marketers find it easy to build a community here. In addition, because YouTube is also popular among young demographics, it continues to innovate in terms of content video forms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Its short-form videos mostly cater to the younger demographic, while long-form videos appeal to a variety of audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Instagram<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Users<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/datareportal.com\/essential-instagram-stats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">1.4 billion monthly active users<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Top 3 dominant age groups<\/strong>: 25-34, 18-24, 35-44<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Best for<\/strong>: business to consumer, (emerging) business to business, user-generated content, advertising, high-quality videos and images<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Instagram ranks 4th\u2019s most active social media platform in the world. When Instagram launched in 2010, it only took them 3 years to double its user base to 2 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Because Instagram is a visually compelling content social platform, many brands and influencers have successfully promoted their products here, making it a potential e-commerce hub even to this day. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">TikTok<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Users<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1267892\/tiktok-global-mau\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">1 billion monthly active users<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Top 3 dominant age groups<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1095186\/tiktok-us-users-age\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">10-19, 20-29, 30-39<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Best for<\/strong>: business to consumer, (emerging business to business) short-form creative videos, user-generated content, brand awareness<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">TikTok disrupted the social media world as it has become the most downloaded short-form video platform since its inception. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">It became even more popular in 2020. Brands and influencers have jumped on the short-form video bandwagon, and so marketers found TikTok\u2019s potential in building community within their audiences here as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Twitter<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Users<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/datareportal.com\/essential-twitter-stats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">217 million monthly active users<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Dominant age groups<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/265647\/share-of-us-internet-users-who-use-twitter-by-age-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">18-29, 30-49<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Best for<\/strong>: business to business, business to consumer, customer service, community building, public relations<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">Surprisingly, Twitter remained consistent every year, although its platform was majorly used by the younger demographics nowadays. This platform became a prime place to discuss events, what\u2019s trending, and breaking news.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">On the other hand, Twitter has expanded and offers Spaces, a new audio tool that could potentially breathe life into the platform. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">LinkedIn<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Users<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/about.linkedin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">810 million monthly active users<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Dominant age groups<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/192700\/age-distribution-of-us-users-on-linkedin\/#:~:text=As%20of%20December%202021%2C%2058.4,were%20aged%2055%20and%20over.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow_noopener noopener\">25-34, 35-54<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\"><strong>Best for<\/strong>: business to business, social selling, business development<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica;\">LinkedIn is almost similar to Facebook as it\u2019s a social network &#8211; for professionals.
