A local business (for example, a spa or restaurant) will have more benefit of having a small local following, then a larger international following that will never visit. Identify your business strategy, whether to build local leads, a national following, or international branding.<\/p>\n<p>After establishing the business strategy, take an inventory of your available resources. Keep in mind your:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Potential reach as a business<\/li>\n<li>Resources of time and money for monitoring and interacting<\/li>\n<li>Type of product or service and your target market identification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Utilizing your well-chosen social media platform, the right following can be built by:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Creating a professional bio and profile with high caliber photos<\/li>\n<li>Cross promote postings between social media platforms<\/li>\n<li>Have your social media identifier everywhere \u2013 business cards, email signature, letterhead, web page, sales receipt, or anywhere else that your customer and potential customers will see<\/li>\n<li>Reciprocate posting\u2019s and like\u2019s with your followers. Take note of who is interacting with your posts and do the same for them<\/li>\n<li>Be human. Use your personal identity and not just a logo. Social media is about people connecting and understanding.<\/li>\n<li>Visualization is fundamental. Anything worth saying is worth posting with a picture. Photos grab attention and should be used with all text. A photo can be posted without text, but text should never be posted without a photo.<\/li>\n<li>Pay attention to what others pay attention to. Copy others for new, fresh and innovative. This will help you to stay current with latest developments and popular topics. Leave a thought provoking comment on a popular post; this can draw others back to your profile.<\/li>\n<li>Set a schedule and follow it. Ideal posting times vary with social media platforms; familiarize yourself with the most viewed times. Then carve out some time to post and respond.<\/li>\n<li>Review what works and what doesn\u2019t work. Monitor the results of your post with re-posts and likes. Be prepared to change your approach, either the platform or simply the topic.<\/li>\n<li>Be interesting. Seek the engagement of your followers by being noteworthy and remarkable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Post often and regularly. Measure your results to your objectives to see how your efforts are affecting your revenue and growth. A growing following is only effective if there is a positive impact to the business.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sitesdev.net\/articles\/2014\/01\/30\/10-ways-to-attract-the-right-following-on-social-media\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Used with permission from Article Aggregator<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A social media platform is one of the best ways of marketing a business of any size, but be sure to establish the type of following your business is after.
