A few great tips on how to implement some core social marketing strategies

One social marketing tactic involves the usage of high conversion keywords. There are specific keywords that will make the user more attentive to the content they are looking at, which will ultimately get more traffic to your website through clicks to read more. It’s important to utilize these through your standard updates on your social media profile in order to receive the most attention. These can include everything from Re-tweets and Follows on Twitter.com to Discount and Deals on Facebook.com. Don’t sacrifice the content for the sake of attempting to pepper your article with keywords. It’s more important that your articles are interesting enough to engage and educate the audience. Be sure to include content that is easy to share and spread around social media. Keep in mind that most social media websites are accessed through mobile devices, so you need to make sure that your website design is responsive and scales to a variety of screen resolutions as needed.

Smoking visual content and short updates work best

Another successful way to increase website traffic is through striking visual content. This can be static images, videos and animated GIFs (see GIF example below :-). Depending on the social media site, engaging visuals can garner up to 200 percent more interest than standard text alone articles. Text alone is well… pretty lonely to say the least. Social updates need to be short and efficient, as users don’t want to read lengthy posts. Try to stay under 100 characters for each update you post on the social media websites. Think outside the box to capture interest from afar.
