Basics:
1. Don’t take yourself too seriously.
Social marketing is about being social. You need a good personality to make your brand likeable.
2. Design great content and solid offers or calls to action.
3. Getting your content shared peer-to-peer is the ultimate goal of social marketing – it translates into sales.

First be sure your company has the following:
1. Clear goals for social marketing: be specific. Define marketing priorities and strategy. Sit down with your marketing team and get it on paper so everyone can participate and know the plan. Then meet regularly to revise and update the plan.
2. Be sure your website is primed and ready for social media engagement.
3. Commit resources to social media marketing. Consider these costs as carefully and thoroughly as you would any advertising campaign.
4. Produce enough quality content to keep the conversations going. Including blog posts, Facebook posts, LinkedIn updates and video.
