Social Media Marketing Agency Tips That Will Explode Your Online Digital Image.

Hey everyone, have you ever wondered why you are no getting any traffic to your website, or any social engagement to you profiles such as: Facebook Instagram or Snapchat. Well my name is Chad Lamontagne and I am an expert social media marketer that loves helping small businesses grow in 2017.

Here I will lay out 3 Tips that will help you get more traffic to you social media platforms.

1. Social Media Marketing strategy for social profiles.

When you start a Facebook page to represent a company there are a lot of challenges that can get in the way. For us we started building everything before we were even established so we were just filling in the fields because they needed to be filled. When it comes to marketing your Facebook, you may be a little short on knowledge and tactics that could help boost you to the new age. Firstly I would like to talk about social media contests. This is by far the most powerful way for any brand or company to get massive engagement and organic reach on social media platforms. I don't care if you live in Niagara Falls, Burlington, Calgary or half way across the world. People love and respond to incentive.

Here is an example: the top social media marketer of 2017 Tia Lopez gives away cars, house payments ect. The trick here is to provide massive value to all of the people that may become your audience. So here is another example lets say you are a Restaurant and you are looking to increase your social engagement ranks and you are looking to do a contest. What type of prize would you offer?

If you are thinking something like 100.00 gift card, you are not thinking big enough. Think value of $500 or more. See now I know you are probably gasping for air at the moment but hear me out. If you were to offer a prize that is of $500 or more the value to the audience will be substantial. The cost to you the business owner if you are offering your product will cost much less than the retail value. That is the beauty of being a business you are only spending you cost.

With that large of a prize value you are sure to get a lot of traction to you Facebook page. Now lets ramp it up a bit shall we. The post that you put up you are going to make a description something on the lines of "Free Pizza For A Year" to enter follow these simple steps.

Step 1. Like This Post

Step 2. Register at www.website.com - This is to be a lead generation page to collect emails.

The reason we funnel the audience to a capture page is to gain access to the emails and develop our email list. Think about it if you were to have 10,000 people all on an email list paying at minimum 1 dollar per month, that's $10,000 per month.

So now that the contest is moving well we can hedge our audience for more chances to win by directing them to your other social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat. Each like gets you another entry, further enhancing your chances to win.

To accelerate this growth faster then you could imagine, 5 contests per month 1 per week or medium mega giveaways. The winners of the medium giveaways get an entry to the Mega giveaway that is happening in 30, 60 or 90 days. By offering 4 contests per month and then a mega giveaway you will create more buzz for your brand then ever before. Your Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat will all be on fire with the attention it is getting, your email list will grow and grow and grow and you will have more sales opportunities then before spending the money of giveaways. There's an old saying "Give a little receive a lot."

2. Social Linking is a Must.

Okay so now that you have your contests rocking, we need to super charge these to gain the maximum out of a Mega giveaway campaign. On each post that you run a contest ad you must not forget to add your website url as we are looking to have people share this post with their timeline friends. Think about it for a second. The url link is on the post which is being hosted as 1 link then we have the contest that generates lets say 200 shares. We now have 200 high quality backlinks to our website via the url that you have positioned on the contest ad.

Lets look at the compounding effect of running a total of 5 contests per month offers. So on average each contest post is getting about 200 shares and we ran 5 contests. That's a total of 1000 backlinks to your website which will boost your sites page rank faster than ever. How does that sound, First page on google. If you consistently run the contests you will consistently be generating back links to the site, for the keyword phrases that you are targeting.

Backlinking is huge and when it comes to social platforms with a sharing feature like Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, you have many ways to generate social links to your website creating huge authority in your space.

I always get asked why social media is so important. After studying Gary Vaynerchuk and his methodology of how Facebook is like ABC Instagram is like Fox Snapchat is like MTV, once i understood that all of these social platforms help so much authority it only made sense to try and create links from these websites. The biggest impact social media has for your business is driving massive traffic to your business via organic reach, linking, and helping create authority.

3. Why would a small business need a social media marketing company?

This is a great question I am asked by people all the time. The basic answer is that it frees up time for the business owner. As we all know time is the most important asset. By freeing up the business owners time they now have time to focus on what they are good at. To explain this more in detail, a social media marketing agency provides way more then just freeing up a small business owners time.

Hiring an agency could be the savior of your business. Through the use of creative thinking, marketing research and proper positioning, a marketing agency can really explode the growth of a company. Don't believe me, let me give you an example. The television show Shark Tank if you watch a lot of it like myself, the main thing that the sharks offer other than contacts is, "Marketing". On almost every segment you see they are always selling the fact that the product needs marketing. Mark Cuban is always asking about the online structure if it is being marketed via social platforms. Watch a few episodes and you will start to notice what i'm saying here.

Back to the social media marketing agency. By allowing the creatives to focus on what they are great at it allows you to focus what you are great at. The saying goes, "focus on your strengths not your weaknesses." If social media marketing or online digital marketing is not your strength, then outsource that task to someone who is strong in that category. It's that simple.

In conclusion social media is the most important factor to consider when growing your business. Contests, links and even organic growth is all possible with the power of social media. Keep in mind we haven't even talked about advertisement strategies.
