In the past businesses and companies have depended on various methods of advertising to generate income however in this modern day and age, there is a certain advertising tool available out there called social media that is being neglected by many organisations. This modern form of advertising has grown to be a popular way of marketing over the recent years and has proven to be very successful for many businesses.  Here is a simple guide of what social media actually does and the best techniques of using this popular networking tool.


​It is not surprising that there are so many companies out there not using this powerful way of advertising at the office as like many of us, we can get bogged down by the daily routine at work and lose sight of more modern day forms of selling a brand. Many businesses are also simply unaware of this new form of marketing too, let alone how it works. So let us start with the basics of this marketing platform that everyone is talking about.


What is Social Media

Social Media is quite simply a website or application where ordinary people or businesses can interact socially or create content and share it with other people publicly over the internet. This kind of interaction can be in the form of spreading news with a text post, replying to a discussion, writing an article, or showing pictures and video. Primarily social media was used for people to communicate to each other over the World Wide Web, but today it has also become an alternative way for businesses or companies to advertise and market their products/brand to a larger audience. Also known as social networking websites, these digital types of communication have grown vastly over the years and have become an extremely powerful and effective tool for communication that can be done on a global scale.

Examples of Social Media Websites

With a wide range of social networking sites out there, we are spoilt for choice into which websites to use to for our business. However, a key point to remember is the more of these types of websites we use, the more productive our marketing strategy is going to be. An example of the some of the best social media websites on the internet today include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, You Tube, Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr, WhatsApp and Tumblr etc. All of these sites do have their own unique ways of advertising so when it comes down to choosing one of them it is probably worth experimenting with them first to see what will suit your business.

Effective Ways To Use Social Media

There are a number of effective ways of advertising your brand/products over social networking sites, which can be done by either spreading the word about a business or drawing people to your own company’s website. Both of these ways are quite different methods but can be both effective as each other in their own ways. A top tip is make your content engaging so that the internet community can draw their attention in your direction.

Here is a list of other top tips of effective ways to use these social media sites for your company or business.
Grow your audience and friends list on the social media websites.

  • Dedicate some time in a week’s schedule at the office to work on social media marketing.
  • Hold brainstorming meetings with employees at the office to find unique ideas for posts or content.
  • Create compelling content on your website that will be interesting and valuable to your audience.
  • Think of unique and effective titles for your posts or work that you create.
  • Drive traffic to your company website by posting your compelling content on social websites.
  • Post promotions and deals that you currently have available business wise or on your website.
  • Make sure your images/pictures that you post are inspirational and eye-catching.
  • Try to make educational videos on your website that are relevant to your business sector.
  • Analyse what the big companies of the world are doing for social media to get ideas.
  • Experiment with social media sites to see how they work and what they can do for your business. 
  • Stay active on all social media websites with current and relevant content.
  • Entertain and inspire your social community with interesting posts or facts found elsewhere on the internet.
  • Share all of your content that you have created on all of the social websites you use.

At the end of the day we have to remember that a social network community is like an audience and the bigger your audience is, the better your global reach for your brand/products will be. Another thing to bear in mind is that social networking is a free way of advertising so it would be quite silly not to take advantage of it. Last but no means least, do not make social networking a boring office chore. Make it fun and exciting, as it is exactly that what will make your social networking community engage with you.
