8 Steps of a Marketing Plan in Social Networks"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to conquer the world, you need a plan.\u00a0The\u00a0<strong>marketing plan social networks\u00a0<\/strong><strong>s<\/strong>\u00a0is like the plane would you\u00a0use to build your house without it, you&#8217;re completely lost and your actions meaningless ,\u00a0or worse, be offset between them.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid starting to build on the roof, your\u00a0<strong>marketing plan<\/strong>\u00a0on social platforms has to be clearly defined before publishing your first tweet.\u00a0But do you know where to start?\u00a0Do not worry: with this plan in 8 steps, you have it done.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to create a social media marketing plan in 8 steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>1) Establish objectives for your presence in social networks<\/h3>\n<p>The first step to a solid marketing plan is to\u00a0<strong>define what you want to achieve\u00a0<\/strong>.\u00a0Without objectives, you can not know if what you are doing works or measure the return on investment.\u00a0The idea is that your social network objectives respond to the general goals of your company.<\/p>\n<p>To establish objectives that really make sense, remember the English acronym &#8220;SMART&#8221;:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Specific (specific)<\/li>\n<li>Measurable (measurable)<\/li>\n<li>Attainable (reachable)<\/li>\n<li>Relevant (relevant)<\/li>\n<li>Time-bound (with a deadline)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The second point, the measurement, is very important to determine the success of the project.\u00a0Instead of focusing on indicators such as &#8220;likes&#8221; or comments, think in terms of KPIs that have a real impact on the business.\u00a0Keep in mind the use you are going to give to the different channels, since you may want to measure different things in each one of them.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Learn everything you can about your audience<\/h3>\n<p>If you know the recipients of your communication in depth, you can create contents that fall in love with them.\u00a0In addition, this will help guide you on the path to conversion.<\/p>\n<p>To begin with, you can create a\u00a0<strong>profile of your ideal follower\u00a0<\/strong>to have a clearer picture of what you are looking for.\u00a0Search for real data about the profile of users of different networks and the analytics of your page;\u00a0This will not only help you to refine your strategy, but also to be more effective when launching advertising on social networks.<\/p>\n<h3>3) Investigate the competition<\/h3>\n<p>In all likelihood, your competitors will also be using social media, and that means you can learn from their actions and incorporate these lessons into your marketing plan.<\/p>\n<p>Doing an\u00a0<strong>analysis of the competition\u00a0<\/strong>will help you understand who your competitors are and what they are doing well (or not so well).\u00a0You will have a global image of what the expectations of the users in your sector are and you can adapt to them.<\/p>\n<p>This analysis will also help you find opportunities and market gaps.\u00a0For example, your competitors may have focused on Facebook, but Instagram is still a terrain to explore.\u00a0So, instead of competing directly with them, you can make yourself a site in other networks.<\/p>\n<p>When analyzing the competition, the\u00a0<strong>social listening\u00a0<\/strong>is your ally.\u00a0Track the brands of the competition and the keywords of your sector and follow up on the results regularly.<\/p>\n<h3>4) Do an audit of social networks<\/h3>\n<p>In this step you will start by analyzing what you are currently doing in social networks (if you already have presence in them).\u00a0Try to answer these questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is working and what is not?<\/li>\n<li>Who is connecting with your brand in the networks?<\/li>\n<li>In what social networks is your target audience?<\/li>\n<li>How is your presence on social networks compared to the competition?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you have this information, you can use it to see how to improve and add these insights to your marketing plan in social networks.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>social network audit\u00a0<\/strong>is also a good time to solve these two pending tasks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check if you have any account that no longer serves you.\u00a0If you do not have a clear objective and you are not giving the results you expect, you may need to make a change of course or even eliminate it altogether.\u00a0Remember: it is better to have an active and focused presence in a few channels, than to try to reach everything and fall short.<\/li>\n<li>Detect possible impostor accounts, that is, accounts of other users posing as your brand.\u00a0Remember that you can check your profiles on Facebook and Twitter so that your fans know who they should follow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is a <a

ones<\/h3>\n<p>The time has come to take action!\u00a0At this point, you need to be very clear about\u00a0<strong>what social channels you are going to include in your marketing plan and what your strategy is\u00a0<\/strong>in each of them.\u00a0For example, you can use Instagram Stories to post tutorials and Twitter for customer service.\u00a0To further center your network presence, try writing a mission for each channel summarized in a single phrase.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have decided which channels you will be in, it will be time to create profiles or optimize the ones you already have.\u00a0Make sure you fill in all the information fields and use keywords adapted to the user&#8217;s search habits.<\/p>\n<h3>6) Get inspired!<\/h3>\n<p>Although it is important that your brand is unique and demonstrates, it is also a good idea to be inspired by the best success stories in your sector.<\/p>\n<p>All social networks include\u00a0<strong>success\u00a0<\/strong>stories that show how brands are using their tools.\u00a0You can usually find them in the information sections for companies in each social network.<\/p>\n<p>Another very interesting option is to look\u00a0for digital marketing\u00a0<strong>prizes\u00a0<\/strong>, such as The Facebook Awards and The Shorty Awards, and see what the winners are doing.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, you can also\u00a0<strong>ask\u00a0<\/strong>your followers\u00a0<strong>directly\u00a0<\/strong>or do social listening to see what their online behaviors are and how you can take advantage of them in your social media marketing plan.<\/p>\n<h3>7) Create a content calendar on social networks<\/h3>\n<p>Sharing valuable content is essential, but it is also essential to share it at the right time.\u00a0A good content calendar will help you maximize the impact of your publications and make your team&#8217;s life much easier.<\/p>\n<p>The content calendar should include the dates and times in which you will publish each type of content in each channel.\u00a0It is the perfect place to plan all your activities on social networks, from images and links to blog articles and videos.\u00a0In this way, you will ensure you distribute the content correctly and take advantage of the &#8220;peak hours&#8221; of social networks. To see the live example visit the twitter page of <a href=\"http:\/\/efurnitureuae.com\/\">Furniture upholstery Dubai<\/a>, check out their past one year tweets to better understand how to manage your content calendar.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the objectives of each network, you will have to decide on an appropriate\u00a0<strong>distribution of contents\u00a0<\/strong>.\u00a0For example, you can define that 50% of the content will be focused on driving traffic to your blog, 25% will be curing content from other sources, 20% will be aimed at objectives such as lead generation or conversion and 5% The rest will refer to the culture of your company.\u00a0As a general rule, it is often said that 80% of your publications should inform, educate or entertain your audience and only 20% should include direct promotion.<\/p>\n<h3>8) Test, measure and adjust the strategy<\/h3>\n<p>Developing a marketing plan is an essential first step, but you should keep in mind that it is impossible to get it right the first time.\u00a0In addition, social networks are a changing environment, so you will have to adapt to the habits of users.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, include in your plan\u00a0<strong>periodic controls and tests\u00a0<\/strong>to analyze what you are doing and see how you can keep improving.\u00a0Thus, your presence in social networks will be more effective than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to conquer the world, you need a plan.\u00a0The\u00a0marketing plan social networks\u00a0s\u00a0is like the plane would you\u00a0use to build your house without it, you&#8217;re completely lost and your actions meaningless ,\u00a0or worse, be offset between them.
