6 Essential Steps to Become a Better Social Media Marketer

Posted by: Omaha SEO Company , September 10, 2013

What is the most shocking is how bad some people are at social media marketing. What is shocking is just how much time they spend putting effort into their social media marketing, only to find that they have no tangible results. What is even more shocking is how people seem to justify this expenditure of time with metrics that do not matter. Many times a social media marketing executive will tell his/her manager that he/she has just gotten X-amount of people to click “like” on the Facebook fan page. He or she regards this as a good achievement, even though nothing has actually converted someone from a viewer into website traffic. Below are the 6 essential steps to become a better social media marketer.

6 Essential Steps to Become a Better Social Media Marketer

1 – Stop trying so hard

Getting hundred of “like”s on Facebook or Google+, or lots of re-tweets on Twitter is not a good thing unless it has an end goal in mind. Stop trying so hard to achieve metrics on the social media networks, and start thinking about ways to get people from social media onto your website.

Start by creating a plan of action and sticking to it. Putting in hours of time on social media and making lots of contacts is pointless if they are not converting into website attendees. Make a plan in order to get more people onto your website and stick to it. If your plan involves getting more “like”s or followers, then your plan is short sighted and doomed to failure.

2 – Use your personality and creativity

It is a social media network, which means that showing some form of personality or creativity is a good thing. You are often able to attract more traffic if your posts are laden with your own personality. Plus, you have to remember that a lot of your competition are likely to be filling their posts with dry and promotional content.

You need to fill your posts with the dry stuff, but also mix it up with creativity and personality. Just because your social media marketing is all about a business does not mean that you have to hide the fact that a person is posting the social media posts.

3 – Be controversial with a twist

Being controversial is not often a good thing when you are trying to promote a business or are trying to build a brand or online reputation. However, being controversial does often attract a lot of attention (which is a good thing). So, what you need to do is be controversial with a twist. You have to make it engaging without offending or upsetting too many people. Why not try being controversial about things that are not actually upsetting? So, you could try a post about how too many Smurfs are taking berry picking jobs away from honest hard working Americans.

4 – Post often, just so long as it is interesting

Posting often is a good way of showing that you are an active member of the social media networks. It shows that you are not all about being promotional, and shows that you are actually knee deep in online intercourse and the online dynamic. However, many marketers fall into the habit of posting dry and boring stuff, so try to keep it as interesting as possible.

Even if you are only posting about your business products, try to come at it from a different angle. Consider pictures showing your products in extreme conditions, or posts about how somebody could have done something better if they had your product in their inventory.

5 – Stop being over promotional

People use their social media profiles as if they are a billboard on the side of a highway. Being over promotional is going to scare away people who are just looking, and is going to annoy people who actually like your website and your products. As it says on the first tip above, “Stop trying so hard.” Put yourself in your customer’s shoes and ask yourself what you would want to read and see on a social media profile of this nature.

6 – Take suggestions on your content

This is a tip that too few people are willing to try, but it has two benefits. The first is that it ensures that some of your posts are interesting for at least some people (i.e. the ones who suggested it). Plus, there is a chance that they speak for the silent majority, so you may have a lot of success with the posts that they suggest.

Secondly, the mere act of taking such suggestions often causes people to take notice and engage with your website. You are actually gaining their trust without them being conscious of it. Plus, if you do upload some posts based on the suggestions of your viewers, then they may return and bring their friends in order to see if you took their suggestions.

My husband and myself were looking for a company to not only build our website, but also attract people to it. Nabil and all Omaha SEO staff were beyond amazing and exceeded our expectations in every way. I am so grateful for their guidance throughout this whole process and I recommend them ten times over!

I had them to create my “Save the Date” announcements, I worked with the Graphic Designer, gave them what I was picturing and they took the concept I had in mind and made it better than I could have imagined. The turnaround was speedy. I highly recommend this company, very professional and customer oriented.

At the start of the year I had decided to invest in a company to help me grow my landscaping business and reach a new market here in Colorado. Omaha SEO Company was the right choice and I began seeing results right off the bat. Their team started by stream lining my website and making sure all my internet search information appeared correctly and professionally. I was even given help designing my logo, which I absolutely love! Ive since recieved quality leads increasing my business this season. I couldnt be happier being backed by their aid/support, and I look forward to growth in 2020!

Omaha SEO Company Gets FIVE STARS!
We have been working with Nabil and Omaha SEO Company for the past five months. When we first started with Omaha SEO, our Company, Visiting Angels was down around the 20th position on Google Search. In just three months Omaha SEO Company has us in 3rd ranking and we are still climbing. This is remarkable considering how competitive the Non-Medical Homecare space is in Omaha. This has also had a direct positive impact on new business for us over these past several months. Nabil is great to work with and truly cares about our business and our success, making sure we are doing the right things to keep us at the top!

Most SEO companies over promise and under deliver. Nabil and his team have knocked it out of the park and have been so good to work with. Personable, knowledgeable, prompt, and accountable. We feel we have a partner in our business to drive growth. Leads have increased and we made some operational changes to ensure the phones were being answered for a winning combo.

I had worked with Omaha SEO and felt that they were doing a lot of work for me and we still were not getting results like I wanted in a very competitive market. We tried some different ways to look at what was happening and then he got an idea. We tried it for a couple of weeks, and the phone rang almost every day. After a couple of weeks, "crickets" again. We knew what was made the difference--his idea worked. He kept working until I got results that brought clients to my door. I am very grateful for his professionalism and tenacity. It paid off.
