The most important part of Social Media Marketing…Strategy.

As a social media marketing expert I am often asked, “what is the most important thing I can do to market using social media marketing?”  If I could give one piece of advice, it would be to have a strategy.  Now I know this is extremely vague, so I’ll get deeper into this.

The strategy I’m talking about is not about how you should target your prospects, what keywords to use, which picture to use on your Facebook account, or what you should name your blog, but it goes back…way back, to the principals of effective marketing.  I guess I should clarify even more, the kind of marketing I am talking about is Direct Response Marketing.  In this form of marketing you ask your clients to respond to what they have found on your website with a “call-to-action”.  This call to action can be anything from “Give Us a Call” to “Watch My Free Video Series” as it is on this blog.  Many times, this is done within a headline, or, as I often do in blog posts and articles that I write, put it at the bottom of the article.  The reason this is done is because most people don’t do anything without being told to!

There are many other strategies that are important when putting together a blog, your facebook account, twitter profile, or anything else related to Social Media Marketing, however, few will outweigh the power of having a great call-to-action with something of value that your visitor actually might be interested in.  Of course, having a properly setup website with an automated follow-up sequence will increase your results, but the bottom line here is that without a call-to-action, there is no reason for having a website, blog, or even using social media for business purposes.
