Social Media Marketing Tips

Social Media Marketing Tips

Since social media is now interest media, your best social media marketing strategy isn’t about selling. To gain interest, focus on providing value and building trust rather than constantly pushing for people to buy from you or hire you. Pick one or two platforms like Facebook and Instagram. For an affordable system for scheduling and creating, batch your social media posts with SocialBee!

Social Media Marketing Reminders

Follow the 80/20 Rule: Make 80% of your posts educational, helpful, or entertaining, and only 20% promotional.

Show the Human Element: Share behind-the-scenes moments. Because people prefer buying from real people.

Share Social Proof: Let your happy customers do the talking by posting real reviews and testimonials

Which social media platforms should my business use?

Pick one or two platforms where you know your target customers are spending their time. I highly recommend Instagram for local retail and restaurants where you can share great photos. Every business can benefit from Facebook due to the broad local reach and community updates. If your focus is B2B, LinkedIn is an appropriate platform for you.

How often should I be posting on social media?

Worry less about frequency and focus more on consistency. For most small business owners, a realistic posting schedule is 3 or 4 times a week. To save time, I recommend using Meta Business Manager for scheduling posts on Facebook and Instagram.
