Optimizing Social Media Profiles

·         Image – Your image is the most important thing when it comes to social media marketing. Don’t be afraid to show your real face on the internet. You need to get out of that comfort zone and grab the opportunity by the neck! Use your recent photo in your profiles and not the one taken from your prom day. Avoid making unnecessary gestures on your profile picture and wear appropriate clothes as well. This shows how you as a person are, and how serious you are about your job. People wouldn’t also respect a person wearing tank tops and having a Mohawk.

Always include links to your website. Although, be aware of certain social networking rules that you need to follow. Do not overdo everything, just enough to be seen and noticed on the internet. Also it is really important to connect all your websites or blogs to your social media pages. This would always ensure that once your reader follows you, you are directing them to your original website.

Follow People that are Relevant to your Niche

·         Follow – It is crucial to follow people when you want people to follow you. And always make sure that your social marketing profile always follows the people that are inside your niche. If you want to sell Cosmetics then follow good companies such as Avon.Always keep an eye on important people that carry your niches as well. Such as sponsored athletes and models are good to follow, this would create the forward traffic instead of just waiting for it to happen.

Share Interesting Things

Always share interesting things when it comes to having a social media marketing account. Don’t just tweet or post gibberish on the internet, with the hopes of connecting with real people. You need to have real emotions that spew out on your page and attract real people in the process. Interesting content would include research studies, videos, articles, stories, funny things that are connected always to your niche. Remember, interesting things and that are connected to your niche.

Also do keep in mind that you need to be consistent with your post, but do not spam! A common mistake by beginners is they spam their way through different social media networks  which would be the reason why they get banned the first day they post on their wall. Check the posting limits in every social networking website; they have different rules and regulations, always read them.

Not to mention, always follow back or give something back to your followers. This is how you create the connection from different people across the globe. Be a real social network page not just something you made because you want to live the dot com lifestyle. The social media marketing world is a place of real people that connect for a greater good, whether it is friendship or business. Do your online network marketing properly for your advantage.
