Have a Social Media Breakthrough Not a Social Media Failure

Social MediaFailureI know we all have social media accounts and we are most likely on almost every social media platform out there. Or if you are not you should be! But, just because you are on these social media platforms, are you using them correctly to gain followers and not turning them away and becoming a social media failure?

While the internet is 27 years old this year, social media is still very new and people are using it for way more than was first thought of. Like Facebook, it started off just as a way to connect for college students and you had to have a .edu email to even get access and now features way more with Facebook Fan Pages, Facebook Live, and Facebook Ads to just mention (no pun intended if you caught that) a few.

But, almost all of the social media platforms have now instituted some form of rules and regulations to what you can and cannot do. Facebook, twitter, Instagram all have a jail where you are not allowed to post for a certain time length. YouTube and Facebook have even taken to banning people who promote their business links on their personal pages. Periscope will block you from posting for given amount of time if they deem the content inappropriate or a copywrite violation.

Have a watch on my 4 Tips to not becoming the next Social Media Failure: 

So, how can you stay away from becoming a social media failure?

  1. Provide Valuable Content – provide your followers and potential followers with content that will draw their attention to follow you. Provide them a solution to their problem instead of just blasting your product or service.

 

  1. Use A Business Page – Personal pages were meant as they are called personal. Start a business or fan page and send your potential viewers there for the business you have. Don’t make your personal page an advertisement for your product or service.

 

  1. Do NOT Post Affiliate Links – What’s more annoying than always seeing a buy here link plastered all over a personas page. And your affiliate link looks like garbage anyways! Grab a domain name that makes you look professional!

 

  1. Do NOT Spam Message – I know I am not the only one that hates getting these messages and the person sending them looks very unprofessional as well. Build a relationship before getting into any business. If you spam your messages how do you even know the persona needs what you have? You Don’t!

 

Hopefully these 4 simple points will help you have a Social Media Breakthrough and Not A Social Media Failure! We are in the business of providing value and solving problems so, provide your followers with valuable content and watch what happens to your business!
