Social Media Marketing
“Social media essentially is a category of online media where people are talking,
participating, sharing, networking, and
bookmarking online.
Most social media services encourage discussion, feedback,
voting, comments, and sharing of information from all interested
parties.”
~ Ron Jones
As Virtual Assistants and Web Professionals,
when we talk about social media marketing, our job is not only to drive traffic to the site
that we optimize
but to also encourage visitors to visit the site
frequently.
The main concept of social media marketing is to
optimize the site
in order to gain popularity and
visibility in social media searches.
Social media marketing helps the
client’s company increase brand
awareness.
It’s also a great tool for the
company to know the needs of their
customers.
It’s a simple way to respond and
discuss about the customer’s
concern
thus getting them closer to the
company.
Social media is an inexpensive way to advertise a client’s
business.
And using the internet is the best way to let people know about their
business.
Here are the different kinds of social media platforms
that Virtual Assistants use in
SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING:

g
It’s a social media platform wherein a Virtual Assistant can post blog
articles and other content
that relate to the client’s business to
a site that organizes and manages
bookmarks.

to market the client’s business in a
viral manner.
It increases the number of visitors to the client’s business site which translates to sales growth and higher ROI..

Another platform used by Virtual Assistants is SOCIAL NETWORKING.
They are using this to build trust and authority on a selected niche.

FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, TWITTER and LINKEDIN are the most popular sites for social
media marketing.
FORUM
Another social medial marketing platform used by Virtual Assistants are FORUMS.
Joining forums can help increase site traffic, build links and build relationships.
It is vital to have a clear
understanding of the topic before getting into a
thread.
Appearing as an expert in the chosen niche
helps build trust towards the
brand.
Knowing the proper online forum and
identifying which is related to your
brand is beneficial in getting a hold of
your target customers.
To summarize it all, A well planned Social Media
