Are you Giving Your Social Media Marketing Efforts Time To Work?
Social Media Marketing, like all other forms of marketing, takes some time before you see results. You’ve heard the old cliche that “all good things come to those who wait”, right?
It’s true when you’re marketing your business offline and it’s also true when you use Social Media for your marketing.
Because the internet is so quick, instantaneous even, we expect to see over-the-top results after just a few days. I’ve even heard some gurus (using that term loosely here) say that you can see results in hours.
Talk about instant gratification…not!!
The important thing to remember about your online marketing is it’s a strategy.
For example, if you only use Pinterest and have no “friends” or followers on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn to speak of, it’s going to be pretty tough starting from zero. You CAN do it, it’s just going to take a little longer. It’s a give and take.
Social Media Marketing works best when you leverage several platforms.
One of the members of my Mastermind Team is working with someone who only had their products on one SOcial Media site. They didn’t see any reason for Facebook or Twitter. They also had very limited content on the one site they WERE using and couldn’t understand why people weren’t paying any attention to their stuff. They weren’t actively going out and making connections with potential clients online either.
Hmmmm…wonder why nothing was happening?
Social Media is about sharing, commenting on and giving the “thumbs up” to other people’s blog posts, articles, photos. quotes…you name it.
It’s about sharing and being social. Get it? Social Media? I know YOU do or you wouldn’t be reading this right now.
Bottom line is, even with all the information floating around about how quick and effective social Media Marketing is(and there’s a bunch); no matter what automated thing-a-ma-jig program you might use to get your information out on the internet…marketing still takes time.
The good news is, it works like no other form of marketing that’s ever been available. Set your content up right and get it out there. Share it, bookmark it and ask your friends to do the same. Use a sound
marketing strategy and jusr see what happens.
Good things DO come to those who wait…on the right things. Your success in business is definitely one of them!
