7 Stats that break common
misconceptions:
From Contently
Define Your Customer
“People like us, do _____.”
- Seth Godin
Think about who you are going to build a
relationship with.
Long tail keywords are those three and
four keyword phrases which are very, very
specific to whatever you are selling.
You see, whenever a customer uses a
highly specific search phrase, they tend to
be looking for exactly what they are
actually going to buy.
Searches on Google tend to correlate if
not, directly match, searches on social
media platforms.
Long-Tail Keywords

#5 Influencer Marketing on Instagram
http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/instagram-strategy-how-to-grow-a-loyal-following-with-instagram-with-
nathan-chan/
Building relationships that are mutually beneficial!
What makes a good influencer?
It isn’t just follower count…
Both profiles can provide value!
Negotiating a Deal
What can you provide them in return for brand
placement on their profile?
✓ Paying them
✓ Sharing audiences
✓ Creating content for them and vice versa
✓ Giving them free products/samples
Measuring Success
The easiest way to do this is to have a specific
landing page for Instagram influencers and having
them use that link in their bio for the negotiated
time period.
Don’t forget to use UTM parameters for exact
metrics!
“How To Use UTM Parameters In Google
Analytics”
#6 Engage With Customers Using Twitter Search
The greatest free tool for Twitter marketing:
https://twitter.com/search
Twitter is a Cocktail party, and you stand
out by listening first!
Focus on responding first, don’t start the
conversations. No one will listen.
People don’t go
on Twitter to talk
to brands, they go
on Twitter to talk
about events and
personal news
with friends and
family.
A great book to read...
#7 Exclusive Behind The Scenes Content For
Snapchat
Forward: This only works if you are promoting your
Snapchat username on other social networks and at
physical promotional materials/locations/events.
Your username is your
most important asset,
users can’t find you
without the exact
username. It should
be your
domain/brand!
For more ideas: http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/8-snapchat-content-ideas-that-your-fans-will-
love/
Question and answer, team meetings, guest snaps, weekly giveaways, and more: with “save the link”
snaps!
“Brands are even starting to explore Snapchat as a marketing channel -- not because they
can directly measure the ROI of Snapchat followers, but because they want to connect with
customers the same way that those customers connect with their friends.”
http://blog.drift.com/no-more-forms
Don’t forget to treat people like
people first, and then like leads for
your sales.
