The quick-and-easy guide to effective social media marketing
Social Media for Business is the essential guide to navigating the social media maelstrom and effectively promoting your business online. You’ll learn how to develop a simple marketing plan, use social media effectively and measure the results of your efforts as you turn contacts and followers into customers. This new third edition has been updated to reflect the expanding influence of Instagram, and includes Snapchat, Security, Social Influence and updated case studies that illustrate the rapid evolution of social media as a business tool. You’ll learn about the recent changes to Facebook, Linked In, You Tube and Pinterest and how to factor them into your strategy — as well as when to decide to transition toward or away from any specific platform.
Social media can help you expand your networks, engage with your customers and help you grow your business, but not all platforms work for all businesses. The best results come from directed effort and stellar execution, and this book shows you how to make it happen from setup to sale.
