Are you and your business being environmentally conscience? Did you know that we
have a local business that will bring a
cardboard collecting container to your
business and will set up a collection schedule? Cardboard of any type wastes space in
your local dumpster and the landfill. Why
not have it recycled and maybe made into
something unique. Be part of the change
you want to see in Seminole. If you or

Social Media Marketing – Even
A Beginner Can Make Money
Social media marketing isn’t something that comes naturally to many. For starters, not everyone knows tons about social
media, let alone how to harness its power for marketing. Whether you’re advertising your website or a real store or service,
it’s important to understand how to use social media to your advantage.
That’s why we’ve put together this social media marketing for dummies primer. In it we give you the three core tips you need
to start becoming an online marketing mogul.
1. Sign Up At As Many Sites As Possible
One of the first mistakes new marketers make is confining themselves to one website, such as Twitter or Facebook. To be sure,
it’s important to be on both of those sites, but there are many more depending on what kind of product or service that you’re
marketing. Sign up for as many social media sites as you possibly can – and actually use them, even if only once a day. You
can set up a daily system that forces you to update, even if it’s the same exact thing, at every site that you have a profile at.
Within a week or so you will have it down to an art form.
2. Advertise Promotions, Sales, And Anything Related To Your Business
To market social media correctly and effectively means that you should be active on social media. It’s not enough just to have
accounts. If you’re having a sale or promotion, then post about it. You can even create sales, giveaways, or promotions that
are exclusive to social media, as a way to encourage people to follow you.
But you don’t just want to advertise yourself all day. That’s a fast way to turn off
followers. Include links, polls, or even images that relate to your business. This gives you
talking points with your followers, and makes you approachable and sociable.
3. Don’t Be Negative And Don’t Spam
This should be in big, bold and red letters. Don’t be negative! Even if you get hateful
messages, do not respond to them. Or if you do, be calm and courteous. Negative
publicity probably isn’t going to help you. You want to be friendly and engaging. Not
angry and rude.
Also, don’t spam. “Spamming” is when you flood your followers with advertisements. If
you’re having a big promotion going on, limit your posts about it to a couple of times per
day: once for the day crowd, and once for the night crowd. By spamming, you’re only
annoying your followers, and they may unfollow you.
Social media marketing for dummies isn’t hard. It just takes a while to get used to it. Thankfully the steps are pretty easy, so
once you get the hang of the basics, you’ll be able to take your marketing to the next level. All it takes is some patience,
diligence, and a little charisma to get the most out of social media. Soon enough you’ll be selling your products or services
like hotcakes, and all your fans will want to know what’s next.
