Using Social Media

Facebook, Twitter - ways of promoting your business

There are various ways of promoting your business. Apart from having a good looking and functional website, you can also use the power of social media to engage with your target audience.

Getting started with Social Media

There are several social media websites where people successfully promote their business online. Facebook and Twitter are probably two of the largest well known social sharing sites going. But before you just dive in, you need to determine what your goals are. You also want to consider the content you create online, and create a good schedule of making your marketing efforts pay off. Focus on quality, not quantity.

Social media marketing

When you start publishing content about your business on any social media site, you want to aim to make it informative. Try to post content that gets the audience to participate in discussion - and not about what happened on last nights soap opera either.

You don't need to invest money in having social media businesses take care of your Facebook or Twitter pages. In actual fact, a lot of this is just down to common sense. Of course, Portsmouth Website Design can help you with social media, but we aren't about to charge you a fortune for making it happen for your business.

Business Checklist

Do you use any current form of Social Media?
Like it or not, social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr and others are here to stay - well at least for now. These biggest social media giants seem to have stood the test of time, when others before them have fell apart. If you use social media carefully, it can be great. If you just accept friend requests on Facebook because it makes you look cool, then you probably don't like, or want to use social media at all.
Getting started with social media accounts
Got a business already? Then here is a tip. Sign up and register your business name with the leading social media outlets - even if you don't plan to use them just yet, it will save someone else coming along and poaching or holding onto a name you might like later on.
Facebook - using Facebook to promote and talk about your business
Facebook is probably the largest and most influential of the social media outlets you can use. There is a personal profile - that will normally be about just about you, and mixing with your family and friends. Then you have a Business Page - which is a completely separate thing to a personal profile. Get in touch to find out more.
Twitter #hashtag Portsmouth Website Design #using Twitter
Got to be honest here when we say Twitter is okay, but we just don't always get time to #writeaboutthings, and make comments about #portsmouthwebsitedesign. We are using this website as part of a group called 123 Simples, so we have kept our lives a bit simpler. But if you have just one business then #getonandaddyourtwitteraccountnow!
