Twitter can be useful tool for a direct sales message or special offer.
Google + is a curiosity in function , but a powerhouse if used wisely.
Youtube, amazing for a video viral, or specialist info messages that help to get your expertise across.
Linkedin is a connected peoples article repository & business media site, but do not underestimate the power of well liked & shared publication on this channel.
The fact is there is a plethora of Social media sites that can be used to advantage. Message and inclusive strategy are key, use all for different reasons.
Paying per click
Often overlooked on established campaigns are negative keywords why pay for X when the user wants Y? There is nothing more frustrating to an end user, than clicking on a PPC advert only to end up on some irrelevant page or site.
Quality of ads & click through rates are key, appropriate site links hedge your bets. Establishing an affordable budget is common sense.
PPC makes perfect sense as it virtually immediate, your ads can be up in running in 15 minutes, but makes less sense if it’s the the only marketing you do!
