Start with Your Content

Before you can start integrating the use of social media into your content marketing strategy you need to have great content. That is the core of content marketing. Whether you are going to create articles, setup a business blog, post press releases, or use another platform for releasing your content, you will need to generate quality content that speaks to the consumers. Remember, you are not creating a detailed sales pitch. Focus on the content and explain in detail how something works instead of explaining why a consumer needs a product or service. From there, you can start to work on getting consumers to read your content.

Why Use Social Media?

Social media provides a great way to reach a major larger customer base. Consumers are more likely to share their thoughts and are more willing to recommend products or services to their friends and family through social media. Social media platforms are used more on a daily basis than most other websites combined.

Engage Consumers through Social Media

Sparking a conversation through social media is not an overly difficult task. First, you need to ensure you have your social media profiles setup according to standard practices. Follow all of the guidelines in creating your profile. Then find the appropriate avenues for engaging consumers. If you already get a lot of traffic to your social media profiles, it can be as simple as asking a question regarding the problem that your product or service aims to solve. Other methods include joining relevant online communities and getting involved in conversations. Also, be sure to respond back to any comments or questions that consumers post to your social media profiles. There is anonymity online and due to this there are going to be users that leave negative comments occasionally. When dealing with negative responses, often the best course of action is to simply not respond and if you choose to respond do not get aggressive.

In the end, use common sense. Engage consumers by posting questions, surveys, and contributing to conversations. It may not happen overnight; however, a dedicated approach to using social media with your content marketing strategy is sure to pay off in the long run.
