You know you' d wish to get on social media.
YouTube. Facebook. Twitter. Instagram.
Some of the most popular
sites out there on the web.
Even Snapchat. even though
Instagram is crushing it.
it' s still doing really well.
They have over a hundred
million active users daily.
But as a beginner all of this
is overwhelming and complicated.
So how do you start?
Hey everyone I' m Khadam Ali.
and today I' m gonna share
with you how to get started
with social media as a beginner.
The first thing you would like to try to-to is pick
the right social network.
Yes there' s a lot of them.
Whether it' s Facebook.
whether it' s LinkedIn.
whether it's Twitter. it' s up to you
on which network you want to be on.
You could be on all of them
but if you' re in all of them
you' re not gonna spend enough time
to make these profiles amazing.
You don' t want half-assing.
In other words you don' t
want to be on LinkedIn
and do a mediocre job.
You don' t wanna be on Facebook
and do a mediocre job.
It' s better to not be on them
than it is to do a mediocre job.
Because doing a mediocre
job will get you no reach.
I kid you not.
Social media five. six years
ago was way easier to leverage
to get traffic from.
Nowadays their algorithms are so strict
because there' s so much competition
they' re looking for the cream of the crop.
In other words if you' re
not the best of the best
you' re not gonna do well.
So you need to pick the
right social network.
And what' s right for me
may not be right for you.
So the way you pick the social network
is look up what space you' re in.
If you' re in B2B the chances are LinkedIn
is gonna be the best
social network for you.
Twitter is also another
good social network for B2B
but LinkedIn typically is better.
If you' re in B2C.
Facebook does really well.
Instagram does really well.
YouTube does really well.
Funny enough YouTube works
for both B2B and B2C.
Now here' s the thing
you also have to look at
what content type do you like creating.
Are you someone who' s
really good with videos.
If so you probably want to
start with YouTube or LinkedIn.
Facebook is much more competitive.
YouTube you can get the longevity.
even if you don' t have an audience
you don' t have a subscriber pool.
you can get more traffic over time.
Because Facebook people
don' t really search on there.
YouTube people perform searches
all day long for videos.
And your videos can continually get views
if you rank higher.
If you' re going after older demographic.
Facebook is amazing.
If you' re going after younger demographic
Instagram and Snapchat are amazing.
So now that you have a rough idea
of which social network to go after
and if you' re still unsure
just leave a comment below
tell me your business and I' ll help answer
the question for you.If there' s other people on
these channels. fan pages
that are related to your industry
even it' s your competitors
and they' re asking questions
you can respond to them. help them out.
That' s how you build a connection.
Even when you' re posting on your own page.
when someone responds with
a question or a comment.
you should acknowledge that they' re there.
Thank them for leaving a comment.
Respond when they have a question.
That' s how you engage.
And what I found is
over time as you engage
what you' ll see is a lot of people
will come back over to your
site. they' ll follow you.
You' ll engage deeply with them
and they' ll become a
loyal diehard follower.
It' s not just about growing your number
and having 1. 000 followers
or 10. 000 followers.
Which then gets me into my last tip.
And the last tip is don' t
go for follower count.
It' s all about having valuable
connections. personal ones.
Because if your first
100 fans or followers
aren' t that engaged with you.
all these social networks
have it in their algorithms
where they' re looking at a percentage.
So if you have a million
fans but only 1. 000 engage
they' re like whoa this is
a terrible engagement rate.
We shouldn' t show your content to anyone
' cause no one likes it.
But if you had a hundred followers
and every single one liked it. shared it
and commented. they did
all three of those things.
social networks like
Facebook are gonna be like.
this content is amazing
it needs to go viral
because everyone loves it.
So it' s not about having
the most amount of fans.
it' s about having the most
amount of engage fans.
If someone' s not gonna
engage you don' t want them.
Don' t just pay models to talk about you
so you can get more followers.
It' s about having the most
relevant diehard fans.
And I know as I said that
was maybe the last tip.
but here' s one more bonus tip for you.
Don' t push people to your
business from day one.
Within three months or
six months by all means
you can start talking about your business.
slowly mentioning it.
Try to get people over to
your site and us customers.
You can do simple things
like just sharing a link.
But you don' t wanna do that from day one.
Why would you wanna promote your business
when no one' s following
you. they' re not engaged.
If you walked up to a random
stranger on the street
and you said. " Hey my name is John.
" I know that you buy toilet paper
" because everyone uses toilet paper.
"Would you like to buy my toilet paper?"
They' re gonna be like.
" You' re crazy. who are you?
"We don' t want to buy anything for you."
You need to build a connection.
No one' s gonna buy from you
until you build that relationship.
So don' t promote your business
until three to six months.
I' m to the extreme in which I like waiting
nine months to a year.
But again you can do it
within three to six months.
If you' re doing advertising from day one.
you can promote your business instantly.
But if you' re trying to build
up everything organically.
You can' t promote your
business from day one.
So that's it if you' re still confused
on how to get started with social media.

answer. I' ll help you out.
