How Social Media Can Be a Game Changer For Your Business!
We are closing in on 2025, and if you haven't started using social media as a platform to market your brand, you are already behind others. But it is never too late to start social media marketing. You live in a world where 4.9 billion people use social media; businesses cannot afford to overlook these platforms. Social media isn't just about posting content, posters, or reels; it is a platform where you can build a proper connection with your audience alongside building strong trust. Let's talk about how and why you should make an online presence for your brand.
Why Social Media Marketing?
Global Audience Access
Do you know what 410,000 is? It is the average number of new users signing up for social media daily. These users are from all over the world and not from a particular place.
The broad audience access in social media is a key element for growth. Whatever you are selling or promoting, you just need a single device and a wifi connection in your home to reach someone thousands of miles away.
Is it that easy to market on social media? This thought might pop into your head now, and the answer is Yes, it is easy to reach users in any particular area you want, but that is not the only thing we want. We need to grab users' attention with the content we share. We will discuss this soon.
Low Cost — High Impact
As you all know, having a social media account is free, and registering a business on social media is also free. The only expense is a mobile/laptop and a wifi connection.
The number of audiences you can reach with zero investment and organic content is high on social media compared to any other platform. The time it takes to get the number of users is also very low! Social media's high impact at a very low cost is the main reason for you to start marketing on it.
How To Stand Out In Social Media!
Every social media platform differs from the others; some have similar types of content but still differ in algorithms. Each platform has a different kind of audience and what they expect.
Reels are at the no.1 position regarding reach and engagement. Making more reels is very important to gain a higher rate of audience reach. But at the same time, not every reel goes viral. So how can you top it? It's easy:
- Before posting a reel, make sure you know what audience you will target.
- Identify trending audio and the type of video being promoted by Instagram.
- Catch your audience's attention in the first 2–3 seconds. Why? The audience tends to scroll past your reel if they don't feel like watching the rest, and usually, they decide it in the first 3 seconds.
What do you think of when you hear about LinkedIn? Career, professional, or both? Yes, on this platform, one expects the other to be professional. That doesn't mean you can't post humorous content; it only means that people want everything on LinkedIn to be related to careers and professions.
LinkedIn is the best platform for businesses to generate leads, increase sales, or hire your perfect employee.
X (Formerly Known as Twitter)
It is all about tweets. What are tweets? They are short messages or posts where users share their thoughts, opinions, updates, or multimedia content.
In X:
- You read what others have posted.
- Engage with their content by liking, retweeting, or replying.
- Post what you think of, share updates, or express your views on specific topics.
Mainly, X prioritizes people who post great tweets about trending topics. Like an Instagram comment section, a single topic can go on forever with replies, likes, and retweets.
YouTube
Ask yourself this: Why do you use YouTube? To watch long-form content, right? Currently, YouTube has shorts, but most people still use it to watch videos that last from 5 minutes to 1–2 hours.
