Facebook Ads
Because Facebook is, by far, the largest social media site with over 2 billion users worldwide, all businesses need to establish a presence here. Facebook’s marketing technologies go far beyond its advertising platform. Look for ways to leverage your business page, Facebook Live (live streaming video), groups, and other tools that can make your ad campaigns more effective. For example, you can use Facebook ads to promote your page or call attention to a Facebook Live session. Facebook Audience Insights is a powerful analytics tool to help you learn more about your audience and target your ads with precision.
Instagram is the leading social media site for visual content such as photos, memes, and short videos. Because Facebook owns it, you can set up advertising campaigns through Facebook Ads. With Instagram, you pay for sponsoring your content. One of the limitations of organic Instagram posts is that you can’t embed hyperlinks into them. With paid ads, you can include links and reach a wider audience. Another tactic worth pursuing on Instagram is influencer marketing, where you pay popular users to promote your business.
Twitter: Promoted Tweets and Followers Campaigns
While not as popular as Facebook (300 million+ monthly active users), Twitter is still huge and has a diverse user base. It also fills a unique function with its format of concise tweets. Finally, Twitter is influential even beyond its numbers as celebrities’ tweets’ are constantly quoted in the media. Because of its influence, you can use Twitter to gauge the latest trends. Promoting your tweets is the simplest way to advertise on Twitter. You can also create a followers campaign to grow your following.
LinkedIn is essential for anyone who does B2B marketing. With over 500 million users, it’s the best way to reach business owners, executives, investors, and job seekers. There are several options for LinkedIn advertising. Sponsored content lets you promote your articles on LinkedIn, which is suitable for building brand awareness. You can also buy text ads and send sponsored emails.
YouTube

In addition to creating and posting videos on YouTube (as well as your website and other social media sites), YouTube advertising lets you promote your videos and get more views quickly.

It’s worth noting that most Pinterest users are female and have higher than average incomes. Promoting your pins with Pinterest advertising can be an excellent addition to your social media efforts.
Community Building
Social media marketing is all about building a community of followers who don’t just want to hear about your brand but want to join the conversation and interact with you on a more personal level. Whether through Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media platform, you must find out who your most loyal fans are and speak to them in a language they can understand. Social media campaigns can take many forms, from advertisements, sponsored posts, competitions, etc., but ultimately it’s about connecting with your audience via the best medium.
