Some sellers, even though terrible, are good marketers.

Although, you might be better, in fact, far better than they are. 

As an intelligent marketer, you’d desire to know what they are doing right.

Rather than dwelling on the problem, this article focuses on the solution, 

Of course, there are many secrets.

But these are some of the best secrets of social media marketing any marketer shouldn’t joke with.

Astounding Secrets of Social Media Marketing for Marketers

1. The First Secret of Social Media Marketing

Research Carefully And Know Your Target Audience

Marketing concerning your target audience is one of the most critical practices in social media marketing. 

Note that your priority is optimization.

Marketers call it “minimum cost, maximum profit.”

What You Should do

• Search for large social media groups and communities. 
• This includes some communities that are majorly dominated by your target audience.

A simplified Explanation of what target audience means is this: 

Let’s assume that you are a producer of winter coats for men. 

The two factors under consideration before marketing this product on social media are:

1. Men
2. Winter

This implies that you are on the hunt for men living in a geographical location characterized by winter and several other wintry factors.

If you are running a Facebook marketing campaign, which group will make sense to market your products to? 

“Truck drivers in Ghana” or “Truck drivers in Canada?” 

You would agree with me that the latter will fit best. Why?

That is where you can find your target audience!

True, men mainly dominate these two groups.

But Canada undergoes winter while winter doesn’t exist in Ghana; that’s marketing wisdom!

In this example, the marketing strategy that will yield results focuses on the target audience. 

This is a surefire way to make sales. 

Follow the social migration of your potential buyers. Go where your potential clients are heading.

2. The Second Secret of Social Media Marketing

Build And Have a Very Strong Social Media Presence  

You can’t open a social media account of which you hardly come online and expect it to be your sales boomer. 

Never! If your marketing account is Twitter or Instagram, you need a whale of followers.

You must have access to many people. 

How? 

• Don’t be that annoying person that is only online to promote.
• When you aren’t promoting your products, be hospitable, comment frequently to people’s posts, give likes, and share others’ posts.
• Your content should not only be about promotions
• Create engaging and informative posts that will connect people with your brand name.
• Don’t make promotion your only activity on social media.
