Social Media Marketing

“Social media essentially is a category of online media where people are talking,

participating, sharing, networking, and

bookmarking online.

Most social media services encourage discussion, feedback,

voting, comments, and sharing of information from all interested

parties.”

~ Ron Jones

As Virtual Assistants and Web Professionals,

when we talk about social media marketing, our job is not only to drive traffic to the site

that we optimize

but to also encourage visitors to visit the site

frequently.

The main concept of social media marketing is to

optimize the site

in order to gain popularity and

visibility in social media searches.  

Social media marketing helps the

client’s company increase brand

awareness.

It’s also a great tool for the

company to know the needs of their

customers.

It’s a simple way to respond and

discuss about the customer’s

concern

thus getting them closer to the

company.

Social media is an inexpensive way to advertise a client’s

business.

And using the internet is the best way to let people know about their

business.

Here are the different kinds of social media platforms

that Virtual Assistants use in

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING:

Social Bookmarkin

g

It’s a social media platform wherein a Virtual Assistant can post blog 

articles and other content

that relate to the client’s business to 

a site that organizes and manages 

bookmarks.

SOCIAL BOOKMARKING is an effective method 

to market the client’s business in a 

viral manner.

As of today, this has been one of the major factors in search engine ranking.

Social networking sites like 

FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, TWITTER and LINKEDIN are the most popular sites for social 

media marketing.

FORUM

Another social medial marketing platform used by Virtual Assistants are FORUMS.

Joining forums can help increase site traffic, build links and build relationships.

It is vital to have a clear 

understanding of the topic before getting into a 

thread.

Appearing as an expert in the chosen niche 

helps build trust towards the 

brand.

Knowing the proper online forum and 

identifying which is related to your 

brand is beneficial in getting a hold of 

your target customers.
