49. Content
Content is whatever you are
posting – from Facebook Status
updates to tweets to Instagram
Photos or YouTube videos, etc. It
comes in many forms and
tailoring it to the platform is very
important.
Context
A great joke within a 2,000 word
blog post will probably go mostly
unseen. But take that same joke
to Twitter and it may just go viral.
Context includes the
circumstances that form the
settings for your post
Hashtags
Hashtags let you describe the
topic of your content or mark
them as part of current trends.
They make your content easily
discoverable and, thus, more
likely to be shared..
Share
This is the currency of the social
media world and getting plenty of
it means you have arrived.
When people engage and interact
with your content, that’s good.
But, when they share it, that is
the time when you celebrate.
Engagement
While shares are a form of
engagement, engagement
doesn’t necessarily mean shares.
Engagements are the interactions
generated from the content you
post/share on your platform.
Social Media Strategy
This is a plan of action designed
to achieve a long-term or overall
aim on social media. It involves
all the studies done to create a
plan that’ll ensure the success of
a social media project
52. Know your audience
Find out who they are, where
they are, and what they care about.
Create content to satisfy those
needs, find out how best to reach
them, and then when they trust
you, sell your product
Creating content
Because of the
immediate 1 to 1 nature of Social
Media marketing, your buyers
expect your brand to behave like
any other person on the
platform. Your content needs to
be relatable.
Variety of content
Nobody wants to come to
a restaurant that only has one
type of food.
Without drifting too far
from purpose, ensure your
content is not boring and has
variety.
Power of Pictures
Pictures appeal to emotions.
They create intimacy - help
humanize your brand and keep
people engaged. You can use
tools like canva.com to create
images. You’re 40 times more likely
to get your content shared.
Videos
Videos are the most consumed
content on the Internet now. The
world has gone visual. Videos go
viral the most, so as much as you
can, create, and share compelling
videos
54. There are hundreds of Social Media platforms in existence, but for the purpose of this
class, we will focus on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram
Choosing the right Social Media platforms
55. Facebook is the most
popular and populous SM
platform in the world and
has 177M active users
even in Africa. The fact
that most media forms can
be posted there and
people can share easily
makes it a proficient
business/networking tool.
Apart from the standard
Status updates, other
marketable features of
Facebook include:
Pages, Groups, Live,
Stories, Facebook
Video, Facebook
Advertising, Insights.
Facebook
56. Give the page a human touch: The goal is to communicate with fans as though you were
talking to your friends. Once in a while, show human side through personal/familial posts.
Content is still key, king: Ensure that content educates, entertains and empowers fans to
keep them engaged and coming back for more.
Diversify medium: Some fans might respond better to video than text, while others might
be drawn to picture posts. To make sure you’re attracting the attention of your diverse group
of fans, post content in a variety of ways.
Ads: Sponsored posts, promoted pages, boosted posts, etc., are still the best engagement
drivers, and page growth catalysts. They are also cheap on this platform.
Insights: Whatever it is you’re doing, track. Insights will ensure you know how your posts
perform when/where/in what context and help you decide what to do more and less of.
Facebook tips:
57. Instagram is the world's
most powerful visual
selling tool. With about 1
billion active monthly
users the importance of
the app cannot be
overemphasized. It allows
you add descriptions,
locations and hashtags to
pictures.
User-generatedphotos
with branded products, as
well as Instagram's
sponsored posts help to
boost consumer reach,
awareness, and,
ultimately, lead to sales
conversion. With other
features likeStories, Live,
IGTV, explore, it is even
better
Instagram
58. Instagram Tips:
Use quality pictures/videos: Make an effort to ensure the quality of the content you
share is top notch.
Use hashtags: Create a custom hashtag and contribute to existing (industry related)
hashtags/trends. You are bound to get more visibility.
Connect Instagram with other social accounts: Connect to other accounts (e.g
Twitter, Facebook, etc) and share photos on those networks simultaneously to
increase reach.
Interact with your followers: Follow, repost, comment on, and interact with other
people's Instagrams.
Advertise: Instagram’s promoted post feature is a dime. Use it to get more reach.
59. Twitter has become an
optimal network for
thought leadership growth
and development. It has
also become a space
where both corporate and
personal brands develop
ongoing relationships with
followers.
Apart from the standard
tweets, other
marketable features of
Twitter include:
Hashtag Trends, Twitter
live (periscope), Twitter
advertising
Twitter
60.
61. On Twitter, Engagement is key.
Tweet interactive posts (that may or may not be about your brand). They could be
trivia, puzzles, scenarios, etc. The essence is to be on your TA’s timelines.
Influencer marketing: Take advantage of your network and solicit retweets. Beg or
pay influencers to push your product/service.
Create contests/start giveaways and reward followers.
Use Twitter ads: Twitter has a native ad platform to grow followers, promote posts,
etc. Use it.
Spot trends: Everyday, there are conversations that trend. Find one that is relevant to
your brand and jump on it. You are more likely to be seen doing this.
Twitter tips:
It is a better success metric than sheer number of followers. How much of your content is being read? How much is being shared? The level of engagement that happens organically and that you cultivate is a good indicator as to whether or not your Twitter strategy is effective.
