When it comes to social media marketing what do you think? Do you think of MySpace, do you think of Facebook, or do you even think of YouTube? A lot of people think they know social media marketing when in reality they are actually setting themselves up for failure. When it comes to S.M.M. one must always remember that you must never try to sell your services directly within the channel you are using. According to many studies out there you must use social media marketing, to connect with people on a social level… duh!
Then why do people tend to make the same mistakes. Simple, because nobody told him the golden rule that I’m sharing with you now.
The golden rule is: “Treat others the way you want to be treated!” this is what it all comes down to. Let me ask you really quick question. If you were on your Facebook (your personal one) would you want someone trying to sell you their horse shoes? eight times out of 10 the normal human being would say no. Why do you go to all these social media sites?
- To find the friends that you lost contact with
- To follow your favorite movie stars and heroes
- To try to meet new people
- And just to have fun (This is the easy part)
Now, does it say anywhere on this list to buy anything? Hmmmmm, I don’t think so Charlie. So next time you get on your business social media marketing power trip, don’t forget that you are a person too. Remember what you don’t like and apply it to your business as well. One great way to help you increase your social media marketing skills is just simply flat-out have a conversation with the people who are following you/or friends that you have.
