6. Laws of Social Media Marketing
1. The Law of Listening
Success with social media and content marketing requires more listening
and less talking. Read your target audience’s online content and join
discussions to learn what’s important to them. Only then can you create
content and spark conversations that add value rather than clutter to their
lives.
2. The Law of Focus
It’s better to specialize than to be a jack-of-all-trades. A highly-focused
social media and content marketing strategy intended to build a strong
brand has a better chance for success than a broad strategy that
attempts to be all things to all people.
3. The Law of Quality
Quality trumps quantity. It’s better to have 1,000 online connections who
read, share and talk about your content with their own audiences than
10,000 connections who disappear after connecting with you the first
time.
4. The Law of Patience
Social media and content marketing success doesn’t happen overnight.
While it’s possible to catch lightning in a bottle, it’s far more likely that
7. 5. The Law of Compounding
If you publish amazing, quality content and work to build your online
audience of quality followers, they’ll share it with their own audiences on
Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, their own blogs and more.
This sharing and discussing of your content opens new entry points for
search engines like Google to find it in keyword searches. Those entry
points could grow to hundreds or thousands of more potential ways for
people to find you online.
6. The Law of Influence
Spend time finding the online influencers in your market who have quality
audiences and are likely to be interested in your products, services and
business. Connect with those people and work to build relationships with
them.
7. The Law of Value
If you spend all your time on the social Web directly promoting your products
and services, people will stop listening. You must add value to the
conversation. Focus less on conversions and more on creating amazing
content and developing relationships with online influencers.
9. SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING USING

12. Running a successful
Marketing blog
Ideation, research and goal setting
Have a brilliant idea- As each campaign gets off the ground,
move the card through each stage of the planning process,
from “Validating” to “Underway.” Keep a “Done” column as
well so you can track your progress and prove that you’re
getting things done.
Know your audience and what resonates –
Ask yourself:
Which part of the marketing funnel are you targeting? What
sort of content or campaign will resonate with those prospects
?
13. Marketing blog
Which topics are popular with your audience? Which of
your campaigns have resonated in the past? Which ones
have failed miserably?
What is there a need for? Are the same questions
appearing in blog comments, on social channels and with
your customer support team?
Be as specific as possible when setting goals.
Building (and testing) your campaign landing page.
Ask if video can add value.
15. AirAsia is a low cost airline based in Malaysia. When they
first launched flights to Australia, they had very little brand
awareness and were in a fiercely competitive market. To
help raise awareness, they launched a Facebook
campaign and gave away a plane ride.
One Facebook fan and up to 302 of their Facebook friends
would be flown to Kuala Lumpur and all they had to do
was choose who they would take. The average Facebook
user has hundreds of Facebook friends, but how many of
them would you actually want to take on holiday? Once
you had chosen, you even could allocate seats and share
a snapshot of your plane with all those tagged, giving the
app great viral capacity.

networking sites. Barack Obama, a virtually unknown
Democratic candidate, utilized 15 different social media
websites to form relationships with the millions of American
