Think again.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to establish a solid presence in social media networks, you need to realize that they\u2019re more than just content distribution channels. They are <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">communication platforms <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that enable brands &#8212; big and small &#8212; to connect with their audience in meaningful ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, your diligence in sharing useful content from time to time will be greatly appreciated. But if you really want to earn your audience\u2019s trust, you need to and be an active member of the community. You must respond to comments, react to other people\u2019s posts, and answer questions whenever the opportunity arises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To maximize brand awareness, you should also launch <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">promotional marketing activities<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that will definitely generate buzz. No, I\u2019m not talking about advertising campaigns. In this post, we\u2019ll discuss strategies that actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deliver value<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to users. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Publish quizzes<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rankwatch.com\/seo-superstar-contest\/description-and-prize.php\" data-wpel-link=\"ignore\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media quizzes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will not only help you engage your audience. By asking the right questions, it\u2019s also a great way to extract insights and ideas that will help you improve your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before everything else, you must first identify your objective. Ask questions like: Do I need to generate subscribers for my mailing list, or do I want to bring more people to my blog?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, executing any online strategy without a clear goal is like driving a car without a destination &#8212; it\u2019s utterly pointless. That said, don\u2019t forget to set goals for every other strategy included on this list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying your goal will also help you determine the platform you need for your quiz. For example, if you want to collect the email addresses of your audience, you can use a platform with email marketing integration like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tryinteract.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"ignore\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interact<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But if you simply want to raise brand awareness, you can use built-in apps like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.facebook.com\/fb-quizzes\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quizzes for Pages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. Launch giveaways<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a quick fact: Social media users absolutely <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">love <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free stuff. In fact, some of them are even willing to follow a page, spread a post, or even exchange their contact information for something that they\u2019re not even particularly interested in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the easiest way to host a giveaway is through a tool like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rafflecopter.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rafflecopter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It allows you to create entry forms, interactive prize galleries, and polls &#8212; all without writing a single line of code. If you want, you can even have the platform randomly pick the winner for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although a tool like Rafflecopter will surely cut the amount of work you need to do, you may also structure a giveaway contest without the help of a third-party tool. A simple Instagram hashtag contest, for example, allows you to decide the mechanics and pick the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rankwatch.com\/seo-superstar-contest\/description-and-prize.php\">contest<\/a> winners yourself with a quick hashtag search.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also launch a caption contest that merely requires them to write a witty description for a photo. Since the entries will be added as comments to your post, you should have no trouble looking for submissions and choosing the winners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Spread promos through infographics<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to statistics, infographics can generate<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.infobrandz.com\/4-stats-that-prove-you-should-use-infographic-for-marketing-right-now\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">three times more engagement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on social media than any other form of content. Not only can they capture the audience\u2019s attention, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/the-power-of-visual-content-in-your-content-marketing-strategy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visual content <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">also makes in-depth information more digestible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most obvious way of using <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/future-of-seo-rankwatchchat-recap\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">infographics <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is to feature them alongside full-length blog posts. This will invariably increase the value of your content, build your credibility as an information source, and improve the overall reading experience of your audience. With tools like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sumo.com\/app\/image-sharer\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sumo Image Sharer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can also encourage readers to share your infographic via social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infographics are also perfect for promoting discounts and special offers. With an image editing tool like Canva, you can create the infographics and marketing materials without the help of a professional designer. Just create a free account and use the drag-and-drop editor to create your visual content.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. Leverage seasonal campaigns<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, the success of your marketing boils down to your timing. Being aware of the<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.socialmediatoday.com\/social-business\/best-times-post-social-media-according-20-studies-infographic\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best times to post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on social media is a step in the right direction. But if you want something more impactful, you should consider launching a seasonal marketing campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first step is to identify a seasonal opportunity that is relevant to your target audience.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.icontact.com\/blog\/5-tips-to-heat-up-your-black-friday-marketing\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Friday<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in particular, is one of the best times to roll out your special offers and deals &#8212; given the fact that it marks the first day of the Christmas shopping season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, each year is loaded with seasonal opportunities that will help you catch your audience in a shopping mode. It\u2019s only a matter of creating offers that also make sense for the event, be it on Mother\u2019s Day, Saint Patrick\u2019s Day, Independence Day, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5. Offer discounts to your online course<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating your own, full-fledged online course is one of the best ways to solidify your credibility as an expert. With social media platforms, you can easily boost subscriptions to your online course by offering discounts to your followers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To start creating and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marketing your online course<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can leverage a \u201call in one\u201d drag-and-drop platform like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/newkajabi.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kajabi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where you can customize your materials, manage your subscribers, and review analytics &#8212; all in one place. It can also help you create coupon codes, which can then be shared through social media channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>6. Turn followers into advocates<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s one thing that can win your audience\u2019s trust on social media, it\u2019s the positive review<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or recommendation of their peers. Studies show that<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/nine-out-of-ten-consumers-trust-ugc-more-than-traditional-advertising\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">92%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of consumers would trust <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">user-generated content, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">such as social media posts and online reviews, over branded content and marketing materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several ways to accomplish this, but when it comes to efficiency, nothing beats <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">automation. <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the help of an email marketing platform like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kb.mailchimp.com\/automation\/automation-types\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MailChimp<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can automate post-sale messages that requests customers for a quick review or rating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another popular tactic is to launch referral programs where customers receive incentives, like discounts or gift certificates, in exchange for spreading the word on your brand. With platforms like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/invitebox.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">InviteBox<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/try.referralcandy.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ReferralCandy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can build a comprehensive referral program within a few clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Final Words<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of your niche, social media marketing can be a puzzle that has hundreds of different pieces. It\u2019s up to you to find the right components that complete the whole picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, there are a ton of other strategies you ought to try, from<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.socialmediatoday.com\/marketing\/how-conduct-instagram-takeover-and-why-you-should-consider-one\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">employee takeovers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to broadcasting live videos.
