Wonder why your social media marketing efforts are not paying off for your brand?
Maybe you should take tuition from that fashionable 20 something student with 100,000 followers on Instagram. Or that “frivolous” YouTuber with his hundreds of thousands of faithful viewers.
Are you keen to use content marketing to generate leads, drive sales and increase brand awareness?
If you do, there is one thing you must do regularly. Maybe even daily.
And that is to write, shoot, draw, edit and produce content.
Measuring the success of your social media marketing efforts can be such a pain.
Likes, comments, shares, views, clicks, CPA, Conversion Rate, CPM… The sheer number of metrics used in digital and social media marketing can be mind boggling.

One of the most common dilemmas faced by marketers is this:
Should we invest in helping our customers to find us on search engines like Google? Or would our marketing dollars be better spent on social media outreach?
Nobody reads blogs anymore. Many blogs are just egoistic exercises in self-aggrandizement.
Besides, consumers no longer trust these so-called “social media influencers” with their #OOTDs (Outfits Of The Day), selfies, and larger-than-life egos.

What can brands do to improve the outcomes of their digital marketing efforts by working with influencers? How can they harness the power of influencer marketing?
As a content and social media marketing person, I often pondered these questions.
Looking at the breadth of brands on social media, I noticed that the most successful ones either work closely with influencers to magnify their marketing might, or end up becoming influencers themselves.
Do you know that companies are literally losing billions of dollars each year by pissing off their customers? Or that it costs 6 to 7 times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one?
It always amazes me why companies would rather focus on acquiring new customers through social media than care for existing ones.

What does it take to succeed as a social media influencer? Do you need to have a cute face, a great bod, or a stunning personality?
I believe that anybody can be an influencer regardless of his or her seniority, age, societal status, personality or looks.
