Be a Social Media Influencer

This article aims to teach social media users how to utilize their networks to effectively promote a message. Your networks are the foundation of your communicative platform, so be prepared to become fairly involved in your networks. Twitter, Facebook, and email accounts must be maintained for this marketing strategy to work. Do not expect to see immediate effect, as this is a process-based wikiHow that requires time.

Steps

  1. Establish your motives: Whether you have a startup company or a personal website to promote, establish the message you are trying to send.
  2. Find your target audience: Be aware of who you want to send the message to. Each network has a unique audience, so you might want to do your research about online demographics.
  3. Create a weekly agenda: Make a game plan for how you will utilize your networks to promote your message. Consider time in your agenda as a crucial component to efficacy.
  4. Utilize your networks: Directly connect with others by posting on your Facebook, Twitter and/or Blogger. For example, "Hi 'friend name', as you may have noticed, I have a new part-time gig with _______, and I’m hoping to convince you to give it a try to let me know what you think." Be aware of voice, as one might assume that it is spam if the message is impersonal
  5. Maintain your profiles: Upkeep is necessary if you want your new venture to gain attention. Consistently update your social network accounts, but remember to switch it up a bit.
