Content and community drive the internet. And using the right content in the right places will determine not only how well your website converts visitors into sales, but also how well you rank in search engines and how many links you get.
Now that social media has become the smartest strategy for building an authoritative online marketing plan, it’s your social media skills that will set you apart for success.
Smart social media marketing is all about building a community of loyal fans and getting them to take some form of action. It could start with getting them to sign up to your email list, order a product, make a donation or hire your business to provide a service.
In other words, true social media marketing is about getting people to respond the way you want them to.
It’s time to learn how to be connected to the people that will make a difference to your bottom line. That’s what Folk Media is all about.
We do this in two primary ways.
First, through our services. We can provide turn-key solutions for your business or nonprofit and manage your social media presence for you.
Second, through our products and trainings. On this site we have hundreds of free articles, podcasts, videos, eNewsletters, eBooks and trainings to help you succeed in using social media on your own. In addition to all that free content we offer premium products that will guide you step by step through the social media process.
To get started, sign up for the Folk Media Insider Program and join online marketers, business owners, nonprofits and professionals in getting free actionable content each week. We will never share your email address with anyone.
