Putting Your Marketing Plans in Place

Social media is a powerful marketing tool for brands. It's like putting Rubik's cube together when you launch an online store. Without excellent copy and images, you can't launch your website. If your website isn't optimized for SEO, potential customers will not be able to find you. Without a shopping cart and payment gateway, your website visitors cannot expect to purchase from you.

When your eCommerce business is working well, you can start to look at other growth opportunities. Promoting your brand on social media is one of the best ways to grow your business.

Facebook currently has nearly 2 billion users. Instagram has 600 million users, and Twitter, 340 million. It means that social media gives you the chance to market your brand to millions of potential clients.

One problem is that you might not be familiar with social media etiquette. This tutorial will show you how to use social media to your advantage in business.

Very good advice again Lil :-). I love the emphasis on the importance of being present and diligent in responding to people who engage with you on your social channels.
That is also the reason that anyone shouldn't spread themselves too thin and do several social media platforms at once but build authority on one of them at a time if you are a solopreneur.

I have made that error and has not achieved the growth on social media as I wanted because I have been spreading myself too thin on way too many platforms.

Now I mainly focus FB and Instagram which is working fine.

Social media is for a reason "social" and as such the real human touch is needed for people to be interested in what you offer.

Absolutely Roy. I tried the scattergun approach when I first started and you just run around a lot and get nowhere.

I focused on Pinterest first and once that was running I added more. I also use Blog2Social to schedule all my posts to go out to FB, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, and Twitter.

Pinterest is a great starting point. I use Social Post Magic for my scheduling.

Are you satisfied with Blog2Social?

That is great! I do the same thing with Social Post Magic. They don´t have Pinterest support yet, but it is in the pipeline.

I find it hard to deal with social media. Best to work with a few platforms that gain traction. Every marketers need to choose what works best for them. Great tutorial. I learned something new from this training. As always, geez, where do you find the time to do all this? It’s amazing what training content you have given us value.
