How Successful People Work Social Media

Social media has evolved beyond a digital way to keep up with friends in real time into an essential business tool that streamlines the entire communication process. As a result, many successful people attribute much of their progress to the ways they leverage social media both professionally and personally. For a better idea of how winners work social media, Forbes.com compiled this list of leading social media activities.

First and foremost, successful people firmly believe in their decisions and actions, both on and off social media. They also listen to everything around them and then use that listening mode when promoting their content and concepts.

They also believe in quality over quantity when it comes to both postings and platforms. As a result, they opt to publish messages that really matter and pick the platforms where they can best reach their target audience rather than saturating everyone and every channel. Yet they also know that one social media platform is usually not enough, so they avoid focusing on only one particular channel in favor of hand picking the few that meet their needs.

While social media makes dialogue instantaneous, successful people still use email since it allows for more detailed and deeper conversations. They also utilize the benefits of SEO since it complements social so well. Given that social media posts now appear in search results and SEO can drive more traffic to social posts, they clearly work better together and can maximize social media marketing campaign results.

They also know that social media is relevant to everyone and that prospects in every target market are tuned in and logged on.

Successful people are genuine with their social media and avoid automating all updates, direct messages, and responses. Real engagement matters and automation may sacrifice relationships and tarnish a brand’s image. On that note, it’s essential to customize each message to each social network and learn the inner workings behind the approaches that work best for each.
