Social marketing is the fancy name for advertising no social media. It involves advertising and promotion on the social media sites. This may be done via one of their affiliate programs, but the most common method is by posting onto these social media networks. Posting things on them is free, and it may reach the eyes of millions of people. Through advertising and marketing your products and services, you are able to earn an income. Here are a few ways that you may market your products and services via social media.
Post Promotional Sale Codes on Social Media:
This is a very easy thing to do and it makes people feel special for following you on social media. All you need to do is run a special offer and announce within the offer that you are giving away a promotional discount code. You post this code on your social media site and tell people that the social media profile is the only place the code will appear. This will help to stimulate a few sales and will encourage people to check your website regularly to check for other promotional codes.
Give a Video Demonstration of Your Product or Service:
This is a very good way of showing people that your product actually works and that it is easy to use or that it may be handled very adeptly by experts. It adds a very real-life element to your marketing. Your adverts are just text full of claims, but a video demonstration is further proof of your claim. For example, a chainsaw gliding through a large chunk of wood is more effective and memorable than a text based advert claiming that your chainsaw is good at cutting wood.
Run a Competition Where All Then Entrants Win a Discount:
This is a clever little trick that you can try on your social media profile. You run a competition, but as a reward for entering, people are given a discount. They will see this as a nice incentive to enter your competition. What they do not realize is that they are playing into your hands as all they are really doing is accepting a discount code that they may have otherwise ignored. As a prize, you could offer a bigger discount within your store, thereby pulling in a little money and bit of publicity at the same time.
Post Simple Advertising Content on Facebook or Google+:
The fact is that these two sites allow you to post almost anything on your profile, and they allow you to do it for free. So, if you would like to promote your goods on your profile, then you should feel free to do so. The adverts may not make you any more popular, and may not have any appeal, but there is still a chance that they will be viewed by your target audience. This means that there is a chance you will make a sale as a result of someone seeing your adverts.

Remind People of Your Existence With Twitter:
Twitter can be used as the ultimate nagging tool. People are far more tolerant of poor quality and boring posts because they are so short. So you can use this little fact to your advantage. You can post the occasional marketing message without the fear of losing too many of your followers.
Post Videos Proving a Technical Aspect of Your Product:
You may claim that your products are the toughest or that your products last the longest. With a video you can prove such claims. This is less about a product demonstration, and is more about saying “I told you so” to your potential purchaser. The bigger and bolder you make your proof, then the more credibility you will enjoy. For example, do not tell people that your paint is waterproof; you should put it on the bottom of a surf board and show before and after shots of it, after the video of a surfer surfing with the painted board.
Testimonials on Social Media are Quite Effective:
You can get other people to post testimonials about your products and services. This is classified as a social media marketing trick because people tend to follow other people. So if many people start claiming that your products or services are great, then you are going to see more and more people become open to trying your products or services.
