Social media can be one of the best ways to grow a business.

However, you might find yourself struggling to create a campaign that is able to produce some results.

If you’re in such a position, here are five strategies you can put into action right now, that will help you create an ROI positive social media campaign.

Let’s begin!

Understand Your Audience

Most campaigns fail because the target audience is poorly defined.

If you do not understand your target audience, it is difficult to accurately reach them using social media ads. It is also harder to create content your target audience will like and want to share – one the key goals of social media marketing.

Send your target audience a survey to get a better understanding of their needs are and what they’d like to learn more about. You should also take a look at examples of content that have resonated with your target audience in the past.

You can do this using tools such as Buzzsumo.

Focus on Just One Platform

Companies run into problems with social media because they spread themselves too thin. You can overcome this by focusing on just one platform.

Focusing on one platform is a good idea because it will give you the chance to learn the intricacies of that platform. You will learn how to consistently create shareable content for that platform and you will learn how to cultivate engagement too.

Once you’ve mastered one platform, move onto another one.

Consider Paying to Play

If you struggle to achieve organic reach with your social media campaigns, consider running social media ads.

Be sure to target your ads with precision. This will help reduce wasted ad spend and improve the ROI for your campaigns. If you do not know how to create an effective ad, look at what the competition is doing.

Hire Someone to Help with Your Social Media Campaign

Social media works well when you focus on nurturing engagement and cultivating a community.

If you are focused on running a business, you may not have the time to respond to comments on your profile or requests within your Facebook Group, for example. To help ease the load, you should hire a social media manager, to help take care of things when you’re not able to.

Plan ahead

You need to make sure you are planning your social media strategy. This improves the consistency of your campaign and this can help improve engagement.

You can use an automated social media tool to help you execute your long-term plan. You can load such a tool with content and it will automatically post the content to your profile, according to the schedule you set.

If you have a social media manager, you might not even need to use such a tool to help you, as they can do the work instead.
