Social media is one of the cheapest and most effective ways to market your products or services to an international audience, but it eats up a whole lot of time and effort on your part. There are, however, social media tools to make your life a whole lot easier. You're still going to have to put in at least a little effort into your project, but these tools can slash hours of work a day. This then leaves you with a lot more precious time to focus more on your business and less on by-the-minute blog posts and intense forum debates.
So without further ado, here are two surprisingly low-tech but highly-effective social media tools you can use to make web marketing easier:
Ghost writers
Why do the work yourself when you can hire someone else to do it for you? If you are maintaining a profile that requires a lot of content, ghost writers are a pretty cost-effective alternative to spending hour upon hour wracking your brains for something to write in your blog, website or profile.
Ghost writers come in two flavors: you can either build a long-lasting relationship with a writer or two, or you can order in bulk from a ghost writing service. The latter is preferable if you have clear goals about what you want to talk about, while the former is preferable if you maintain profiles that require constant updating and insider knowledge. Another bonus is that you ghost writers are a dime a dozen, which drives their charges down. This is especially true for overseas writers, where currency differences make costs almost negligible. Just make sure that you proofread the work to check for spelling, grammar errors, and false or incorrect content. Leave the grunt-work to the ghosts, and do the polishing yourself for a quality product.
Purchasing followers
Purchasing followers is one of the social media tools that have its own pros and cons, and this can mean the difference between a successful marketing endeavor and getting your account blocked from the social media network you are using.
For example, you could opt to use a Twitter followers tool to get more followers for your Twitter profile. Using your ghost writers to post relevant, informative and interesting content will turn these new followers into potential buyers, but be careful when choosing a service to purchase followers from. There is a correct way of adding followers en masse, and there is an incorrect way of doing so. Having 1,000 followers pile into your Twitter profile within a single hour, this will definitely raise a Twitter spam alert and will get your account blocked. To prevent this from happening to you, read up on the terms and conditions of a social media network and then inquire how the service will inject your new followers into your profile.
These two social media tools may not be the high-tech solutions you are expecting, but they do a pretty good job of making web marketing a whole lot easier. Use these silent ghosts and blank faces, and you'll be able to spend your time worrying about your business instead of your blog or Twitter profile.
