1.) Choose the right Social Media Platform:
So how do you choose the right Social Media platform? You will have to do some research about your targeted audience.
Which social media platform are they using? I’m guessing most of them are using Facebook or Instagram. Both are great, however, you should learn the right strategies.
Here are some great ways to grow your Social Media account:
- If you want more followers on Facebook, search for the groups and pages on Facebook and start engaging in them. Example: If you’re in the make-money-online niche, check out the online marketing industry leaders’ pages.
- To grow your Instagram account, engage with different people in your niche and also your audience.
- Ensure you always provide lots of value and use storytelling.
- You can also use Pinterest to grow your business and any platform you want.

2.) Posts and videos will build trust:
You choose the social media platform that you will start with. What’s next? Well, you have to build trust.
It’s not that hard to build trust with your audience, but you have to do it right. Spamming your business won’t do any good. It will actually destroy your reputation.
So to avoid that, here are the steps you have to take:
1.) Write posts about your story, your life, quotes, and business: 80-20 rule (that means 80% of the time you post about value and lifestyle and only 20% of the time you post about your business)
2.) Make value posts and videos (provide solutions to their problems). This is the reason you should educate yourself daily about the topics in your niche. If that is health and fitness, then read articles on those topics. You will gain more knowledge, and you will be able to help your audience better.

3.) VIDEOS – Oh yes, my friend 😉 Video marketing is essential because it is one of the most powerful techniques in promoting your business on social media for free.
I know most small business owners don’t want to do videos because they are scared of what others will think of them and say about them. But videos can help your business grow faster, so don’t let others stop you.
You are on social media to provide value, help people and, well, let’s be honest – make some money. Don’t worry what others say – their opinion doesn’t matter. Focus only on your mission in life!
4.) You must also learn how to sell your products.
When I learned how to sell products online, my whole life changed. Here’s the blog post I wrote that will help you: How To Increase Online Sales Through Social Media With SMMAP Framework
3.) Pinterest Marketing:
Pinterest is a great place to find inspiration and ideas, but it also has a lot of potential as a marketing tool.
You can get a lot of traffic to your website or any Social Media account, and you can also build an email list with Pinterest.
The thing is, you have to do it right. If you don’t know how to use Pinterest as a marketing tool, you could waste a lot of time on something that doesn’t work.
