How to Choose the Right Social Media Platform for Your Business

Hey Folks!

How have you been?

As for me, I am excited about the next step I plan to take in my attempt to brand myself. In my last blog, I shared how I designed my book cover for online self-publishing. But publishing content is insufficient, as you need people to check it out. Hence, it is time to delve into those platforms through which I can strengthen my presence. A good impression will further enhance my brand identity.

So, today, I will look for the right social media platform on which to start my marketing campaigns.

Why is Social Media Marketing Important

Social media marketing is really important to turbocharge your business. 

This is because social media worldwide has become a trending network in every individual’s life. When you take a fantastic picture, the first thought that appears in your head is to share it with your network. You also go back to different timeline pictures and enrich your pleasant memories. It has become an integral part of our lives. 

Social media usage statistics show that global people spend an average of 2 hours and 25 minutes daily. Another strong reason is the enormous opportunity that these platforms offer. Businesses can communicate with their target customers via different forums, communities, and groups on other social media sites. 

I will be pretty selective about the social media platform I will use for my campaigns, mainly because I do not want to wobble while handling different platforms and messing things up.

So, I will first carefully strategize the social media campaigns and select the platform I want to start with. After establishing prominence in one platform, I can move on to the next.

Hence, Let’s figure out the right social media platform to start my marketing journey.

How to Choose the Right Social Media Platform

Currently, the enormous online arena offers us different promising interactive platforms. Businesses popularly use Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube to market their businesses and products. Now here comes the tricky part, as all the social media platforms seem promising.

Choosing from them is difficult. But I did a short research to understand the vehicle that would help me reach my destination.

As per the statistics, Facebook is the most popular social media platform, having the maximum number of users. Moreover, I feel Facebook is a very personal platform. The users of Facebook love to share their most important life events. Every moment, whether a new job or meeting an old friend, is displayed and celebrated. 

On the flip side, other social media platforms have a different role. Youtube, the second most popular platform after Facebook, is meant for anything and everything about videos. I can surely use this platform for my videos (which I plan to do in the future).

But let’s first create an influence on Facebook.

What is Facebook’s Marketing Strategy

The first thing I will do is create a very distinct identity of myself on Facebook. I will create my Facebook Business Page. As a life coach, I can win my client’s trust by showcasing a credible online presence. Hence, I must be mindful of what I post in my newsfeed.

Here’s how you can create a memorable profile picture for your social media platforms:

Now let me share my overall social media marketing strategy for Facebook I intend to do to brand myself.

I will open my business page and upload my published ebook and live videos. I have other plans as well, like conducting online events. My initial content will be free, as my current goal is to create an influence that will attract my clients.

To get more clients, I will explore different groups on Facebook, dealing with life goals, inspirational messages, and mental well-being. These groups will ensure me clients who are searching for life guidance. Hence membership and communication in these groups will give me the right exposure.

Then after having a good number of clients, I will start with my YouTube channel. This will further help me post about the webinars and workshops I plan to conduct later in my journey. Also, motivational videos go a long way.

After having a good grasp of these two platforms, I will start with Instagram, LinkedIn, and X/Twitter.

This is what my workspace looks like:

Next, I selected the option “Graphics and Media” in the left-hand panel. Under this option, I selected the widget “Uploads” to upload my logo design. After the image appeared in the workspace, I placed it in the top left corner of the document.

I returned to the option “Pictures” and selected a beautiful background image to put an appropriate image. Also, I push the image layer backward by selecting the layer option from the top panel. This enabled clear visibility of the logo. 

So, after the image seemed ready, I decided to download it. I selected the dotted line situated at the top right corner.
