You have the opportunity to build a library of content populated largely by your own customers. Customers who participate, create content and connect with other community members become loyal brand advocates.

In every industry, there are existing conversations going on. A social media strategy will allow you to get in on these conversations so that you can offer solutions, push buttons, and get people talking.

In order to do well when marketing, one should have tactical knowledge and ideally, first-hand experience of the specific social media platform. There are other times when marketers may have to launch a multi-platform outreach campaign. Some communities are very open to marketers being there and contributing to the conversation.

You need to be prepared to converse with (and not just speak to) your constituents.
