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.

Measuring SuccessHave a specific landing page Instagram influencers can use and have them use that link in their bio for the negotiated time period.

#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...
