Tip 3- Interact and Provide Value in Facebook Groups
​As a social media manager and business consultant managing several Facebook groups, one of biggest things that bothers me is when I see people that only engage to promote or market their own business. I see this all the time in groups and it seems to happen very often. Usually when entrepreneurs do this, they also tend to post the exact same post in several other Facebook groups. Make sure you don't this.
Use the Facebook group to make connections, learn from others, and help and support those newer members in the group. Engage in conversations and provide free valuable content.
When you have a really valuable tip that you believe could benefit the group, share it. Make your name become well known to your followers. One that group members will see frequently and appreciate the value you add with no strings attached.

4- ​Utilizing hashtags and social media can help small businesses cost-effectively build  following locally, regionally and nationally. A hashtag was reportedly first used on Twitter in 2007. It emerged as a staple on Twitter, which, began to hyperlink tweeted hashtags on Twitter search results for the hashtagged word or phrase. Later, Twitter launched "Trending Topics" on its front page, which displays hashtags that are rapidly gaining popularity. Few years ago, Facebook enabled hashtagging on public-setting posts, further broadening its appeal.

3 - ​If you want to use a hashtag, simply type it in your own post. For example, "I love the products at #prestovirtuals.
If you want to establish your own unique hashtag, it's a good idea to search for it first to make sure no one else has used it. Once you've determined it's not already in use, simply type the new hashtag in your post.
Hashtags offer an online vehicle for small businesses to broaden their exposure and engage with customers. Because hashtags can be linked to a company's website - where it's products, services, promotions, etc. are exhibited - they could lead to revenues. Best of all, hashtags are free, so they can represent unsurpassed cost-effective marketing.

Tip ​2- Run A Free Challenge
​Managing a free challenge does two things: it shows potential clients that you can transform their bodies and it also provides you with the possibility to gather their email addresses so that eventually you can make a sale.
By commenting and interacting with challenge participants, you will leave them asking “now what?”

Even if they do not purchase a product or service from you after the challenge, you have started the relationship and are on the way to continuing to build trust and stay at the top of their minds by sending occasional, beneficial-to-them email messages.

Whether you want to drive leads to your homepage or encourage customer engagement, Instagram is the perfect platform. Here are the five top reasons your brand should extend its marketing strategy to include Instagram:

1. People spend more time on Instagram than any other social platform except Facebook

If you’re looking for a social platform with a high level of traffic and engagement, Instagram is the ideal fit.
According to comScore, global users spend a monthly average of 12 billion minutes on Instagram, which translates to massive opportunity for businesses who want to dominate their niches.

2. Instagram makes it easy to get noticed
While it’s becoming harder and harder to get noticed on Facebook and Twitter, only 9% of small businesses currently use Instagram, which means there is plenty of space to build a robust online presence.

3. Visual content is the future of marketing, and Instagram specializes in it
According to recent research from MIT, the human brain processes images in only 13 milliseconds. What’s more, people retain more than 80% of what they see and only 20% of what they read.
Because of these things, marketers around the globe are predicting that visual content will be the future of online marketing, and Instagram is positioned to be on the bleeding edge of the shift toward image-based brand stories.

4. The content you post on Instagram reaches all of your followers
While the content you post on Facebook reaches only a fraction of your audience, Instagram’s non-filtered feed means every post you make reaches your entire audience. This has the potential to boost engagement and improve your conversion rates.

5. Instagram caters to the mobile revolution
2015 was the first year that mobile search overtook desktop search, and Instagram, more than virtually any other platform, caters to the rise of mobile users. Sharing on mobile platforms is quick and easy, and the app makes it seamless to navigate a brand’s content.

Instagram Marketing: A Powerful Tool for Your Company
Regardless of which industry you specialize in, Instagram is an essential tool that can overhaul the success and engagement of your marketing strategy. Simple, streamlined, and user-friendly, Instagram is the future of digital marketing.
