NEW YORK, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- (http://www.myprgenie.com) -- A lot of people are talking about how social media can help promote today's businesses. MyPRGenie (www.myprgenie.com) today released top 5 tips for social media marketing. Every business looking to gain web presence needs to start off with these essentials tips.
1. Blog your business identity
When you first hear about a company, what do you do? You Google it. Creating and constantly updating a blog for your business is a staple in establishing brand identity. As of last year, 77 percent of all Internet users read blogs. So there is a huge possibility that your potential customers will be reading your blog to learn more about your company.
2. The tweet is sweet
A great way to incorporate the human element into your brand identity is to set up a company Twitter account. If you're offering a service, tweeting tips and advice about your industry makes you the expert. People will more likely want to buy from an expert.
3. Facebook or LinkedIn or both?
Both Facebook and LinkedIn are excellent PR moves to significantly increase your brand online because it's another opportunity to reach your target audience -- potential partners, customers and influencers. However, they should not replace your website or online news room. At MyPRGenie, we believe that an online newsroom is one of the easiest ways to increase your online presence. We believe this so much that we allow companies to sign up for free and create a free online newsroom to post all their releases, photos and videos on it for free.
4. You too can YouTube
YouTube is no longer just a place to watch music videos and funny viral videos, now it's a widely used tool to market one's company. In the digital age that we live in, it's no longer a picture that speaks a thousand words, but a 10-minute video that projects loudly. Create a channel and upload videos of interviews, clips and events that best exemplify why your company is better than the rest.
5. Stay on top of things
The biggest mistake you can make after configuring your company's social media essentials -- the blog and signups for Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other sites -- is to forget to remain current. Make a goal to write at least 2-3 blog posts at a time and then post them periodically through the week.
