Mistakes to Avoid in Social Media Optimization

Posted by AldoMoore on February 19th, 2015

Social media are definitely the most powerful platforms to launch a marketing campaign at present. According to experts, their influence is not going to diminish at least in the near future. This observation has created a situation where companies are rushing to have a profile in as many networking websites as possible. To their amazement, this proved to be the most inexpensive and powerful strategy one can find. But, don’t forget the fact that social media have also destroyed many small-scale enterprises. Stay safe from the following mistakes and you will protect yourself from sharing their fate.

Avoid these mistakes in social media optimization

Don’t commit these 4 mistakes companies generally make and protect yourself from an impending doom.

  1. 1.       Neglecting social sharing buttons

This may appear to be a simple advice. But, it is surprising to see that millions of websites still don’t have social sharing buttons. These make it easier to spread word about you if anyone wants to do so. If you don’t have included one on your website, add one and track your progress. However, make sure that you offer quality content on your site before experimenting with them.

  1. 2.       Buying fans

Having thousands of visitors to your account on any of the social networking platforms is definitely a positive sign. The websites would treat you as an authority in your niche. But, know that these platforms have developed some sort of algorithm to monitor user interaction with the profiles built on them. If you have bought followers who just like your page and leave upon receiving payment, your page is sure to go down due to lack of user engagement. Spend time to organically build following. Develop a SMO strategy and work accordingly. If you have paid for followers, analyze their accounts and delete all fake ones.

  1. 3.       Ignoring hash tags

If you are someone who does not use hash tags to your advantage, you are leaving millions to your competitors. The tag you design should have a call of action or an interesting tip to give. It should also build up the image of your company. There are numerous tools designed to help business owners in the matter. Choose anyone from among them and do a research on the tags people generally use in your field. You can modify your hash tags in accordance with the results you see.

  1. 4.       Forgetting to appreciate your fans

It is true that you work hard to reach out to customers. You spend much time writing informational posts. But, don’t think that your job is completed after posting the same on the desired platform. Track how your content performs and reward the ones who took your post to the next level, towards their friends. Spend time to read and comment to the blogs they have written or share their posts in your social circle. Your fans will be quite happy and they will go even beyond their way to help you out, to promote your business.

This is a general overview. Read the Internet, gather as much information as possible on social media optimization and act accordingly.
