How to Generate Sales using Social Media

The growth of Social Media usage is a huge factor in why social selling has been adopted. The process of engaging with potential customers through the use of social media is continuously emerging. Your goal is to turn your target audience into loyal and paying customers.

If you are ready to move beyond brand awareness and engagement, here are some ways to generate sales using social media: 

  1.   Choose the most relevant Social Media Platform.

When it comes to social selling, the first step is to first determine the right platform where your target audience is most active. Don’t get caught up in the huge world of social networks. Make sure that you consider your audience demographics.

How do you know which one is right for your business? Should you focus on one platform? What about all of them? Choosing the right platform to sell on is similar to choosing the right platform to use as your social media outlet.

If you’re selling products to a more youthful audience, use Facebook and Instagram. If you sell products or services aimed towards businesses and professionals, then we would recommend you try Facebook and LinkedIn. You may also consider YouTube and Twitter.

Take note as well that, the more places you are, the more exposure your brand will have. The more options you offer to consumers; the more customers you will attract.

  1.   Provide Value by sharing relevant content.

Today, content marketing is the favorite method of most marketers. It is always effective to raise brand awareness, build entire communities around a business and, in the end, drive incremental sales. There are also a few pros and cons when it comes to user generated content.

More than 50% of B2B buyers seek out information on products and services on Social Media. Therefore, every business has a great opportunity to create quality content, and once successfully achieved, it becomes the most powerful way to convince prospects to become customers.

  1.   Advertise on Social Media.

It’s important to choose your platform, run your campaign and get the most out of social media ads.

17-year-old High Schooler Built a Coronavirus-tracking Website

Did you know that one of the most visited corona virus-tracking websites was created by a teenager?

17-year old Avi Schiffmann, of Washington State, developed ncov2019, an informative website that updates COVID-19 statistics from all over the world.

The website collects and regularly updates coronavirus statistics per country, including a tally on deaths, recoveries, active cases, and tests made, from data scraped from WHO, CDC, and other government websites. It also features a map with a breakdown of cases, basic information about the virus, and a survival rate calculator.

With the website’s popularity, daily website traffic is now estimated at 30 million visitors from all around the world per day, so it is no surprise that Schiffmann has received offers from advertisers. However, Schiffmann decided to decline advertising offers for now, as he did not want ad pop-ups to ruin the website’s UI, which would probably happen once he monetizes the website. Additionally, he is also aware that most of his website visitors from different parts of the world do not have fast internet, so adding ads and trackers will make the website slower and probably unusable for them.

With this impressive development, the future is looking bright for Schiffmann. He has already received job offers, including one from Microsoft, but has yet to accept one, as he is focused into developing his own projects as of now.

With Schiffmann’s ncov2019 development, and the good it did to inform and educate people, we can’t wait to see his projects in the future.

To know more about Avi Schiffmann, visit ncov2019, or follow him on Instagram and Twitter @AviSchiffmann. You can also share your appreciation to his project and buy him a coffee here.

How Can Content Marketing Impact Your Business?

“Why aren’t you talking about my product?!”

It can be perplexing as to how talking about other things other than your product can help your business and it can make you wonder if it is really effective. Content marketing, in simpler terms, is story-telling. You deliver relevant and valuable content for your customers and prospective clients to help them solve their issues or answer their questions instead of using hard-sell tactics to promote your products or services.

Content marketing, perhaps, is one of the most effective ways to reach and generate quality leads and customers. Here’s how:

Help Build Brand Awareness to Your Target Audience

Let’s be honest. Some of your target markets may not know about your brand. But by providing quality and engaging content that answers to their needs, you won’t only drive relevant and targeted traffic to your site but will also get the visitors to stick around longer.

This will help your site rank higher on search engine results page, making it easier for people to visit your page to find out how your brand can help them answer their query. Relevant content can engage these leads to help build brand awareness to people that are more likely to be interested in your products.

Connect with your Audience

The more you publish quality content that educates and has quality value to your market, the more they will trust your products and services. Helping them in their challenges and inquiries that are appropriate to your brand creates stronger customer relationship. It helps you build credibility and rapport by showing them that you know your industry very well and that they can trust your services.

Help Build Customer Loyalty

Once you have built a relationship with your customers by making them feel that your brand cares about them, their purchasing decision will most likely lean towards your product compared to your competitors. When they see that you have useful and valuable content, they will follow your brand on whatever platform it is.

Cost-effective

When content is really good, visitors will share it with their colleagues. Increasing your visibility online without having to pay for ads! Content marketing costs less than outbound marketing but it can generate up to more than 3 times the lead when done the right way.

Content marketing, in a nutshell, helps your business grow by reaching customers that are more likely to be loyal to your brand to help increase your sales without spending so much.
