Define Your CustomerPeople like us, do _____.- Seth Godin

Think about who you are going to build a relationship with.

Long tail keywordsare those three and four keywordphrases which are very, very specific to whatever you are selling.

You see, whenever a customer uses a highly specific search phrase, they tend to be looking for exactly what they are actually going to buy.

Searches on Google tend to correlate if not, directly match, searches on social media platforms.

Long-Tail KeywordsWhat are customers searching for?

http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/instagram-strategy-how-to-grow-a-loyal-following-with-instagram-with-nathan-chan/Building relationships that are mutually beneficial!

What makes a good influencer?It isnt just follower countBoth profiles can provide value!

Negotiating a DealWhat can you provide them in return for brand placement on their profile? Paying them Sharing audiences Creating content for them and vice versa Giving them free products/samples

Measuring SuccessThe easiest way to do this is to have a specific landing page for Instagram influencers and having them use that link in their bio for the negotiated time period.

Dont forget to use UTM parameters for exact metrics!How To Use UTM Parameters In Google Analytics

#6 Engage With Customers Using Twitter Search

The greatest free tool for Twitter marketing: https://twitter.com/search

Twitter is a Cocktail party, and you stand out by listening first!

Focus on responding first, dont start the conversations. No one will listen.People dont go on Twitter to talk to brands, they go on Twitter to talk about events and personal news with friends and family.

A great book to read...

#7 Exclusive Behind The Scenes Content For Snapchat

Forward: This only works if you are promoting your Snapchat username on other social networks and at physical promotional materials/locations/events.

Your username is your most important asset, users cant find you without the exact username. It should be your domain/brand!

Question and answer, team meetings, guest snaps, weekly giveaways, and more: with save the link snaps!

Brands are even starting to explore Snapchat as a marketing channel -- not because they can directly measure the ROI of Snapchat followers, but because they want to connect with customers the same way that those customers connect with their friends.
