| How to become famous on Social Media Platforms |
If
you want to know how to get famous on social media, follow these easy steps!
1. Pick the Best Platform and Be Unique
Before you can get famous, you have to figure out what you want
to be known for and choose your platform accordingly. There are lots of social media platforms, which are
Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Blogging, TikTok, Reddit,
Tumblr, Snapchat, etc. Every social
media platform has guidelines and modes of operation. Before using them, ensure
you know the do’s and don’ts of the system.
When
you find a unique feature or skill to promote, it’s time to go to social media
and promote yourself. Found
a specific niche to focus on. Ideally, you’ll utilize all platforms
to attract a broad following. But you’ll likely gain success on one or two
platforms over others. Whether
it's being a great player of video games or an expert on fashion and beauty,
find that topic that you really are passionate about
and can provide expert advice that will make people want to follow you.
2. Be Entertaining
All
influencers are taught the same advice, such as “be entertaining” and “have
fun.” Just viewing someone play a video
game isn't particularly interesting, but with great commentary, funny jokes and
helpful insights, you're likely to want to follow them. Likewise, someone who
just shows the steps to doing your makeup is
not as memorable as doing the same while also being engaging, witty and with a
great manner demonstrating their skill. You need a 'hook' for your niche,
coupled with a personality and vibe that draws people in for more.
3. Provide Quality Material
A major component to become famous is
to be really good at what you do. Your audience wants to
consume engaging and interesting content. If
you're going to stream on YouTube,
invest in good audio and video equipment, learn how to edit videos and ensure
proper lighting. A juicy media content is
a post that’s creatively written, interesting or funny. If Instagram is
your target, then beautiful, professional photography is an absolute must. If
your presentations provide no value, people aren't likely to subscribe to your
channel or page, and more importantly, don’t share it with others. Quality
posts are a must.
4. Be Consistent
Create
a regular schedule for
your posts and videos. Post regularly. Find the best time to post on different
social media platforms and give the best you can. You want your followers to be
able to consistently expect quality material. You should always work toward
something better and improve yourself in every way that you can. If you post
too infrequently, you may fall prey to 'out of sight, out of mind.' Consistency is
the biggest driver of growth.
5. Focus on Followers
Your
followers are the lifeblood of your social channels. Therefore, they deserve
your utmost attention. In addition, your response will make them feel good.
They will continue supporting and promoting you.
Focus on getting as many followers as
you can. Contact everyone you know and ask them to follow you and share your
information with others. Then work on following others, as more often than not,
once you follow them they'll follow you back, and their followers will see
notifications that you have been followed and they may follow suit. Respond
to comments, questions or mentions made by your followers. This is how you connect
more with your followers.
6. Develop Relationships With Other Influencers
Another
tactic is to contact major players in your area and exchange friendly messages
with them. If you are able to strike up a relationship, the other person may be
willing to promote you on his or her channel to help you out. Of course, you
can always return the favor by promoting the person on yours. Use other
influencers success to your advantage! Collaborate with them to tap into their
following. You can also use a resource such as BuzzSumo to find influencers in
your topic area.
Look for the community of influencers and interact with
the content consistently. Hopefully, they’d return the favor. If they don’t,
you can pay them for comments, shout-outs or sponsored posts.
7. Learn Social Marketing
Another
important way to get people to find you is
to use proper SEO on
your page, which means researching and using keywords, tags and possibly
even paying for ads with
Google AdWords, YouTube, Facebook , Instagram optimize and other platforms for
marketing. Learn also the ins and outs of hashtags to
use them to your benefit and increase followers and shares.
Aaudiences love sharing incredible content. When it comes
to expanding your horizon, as an influencer, displaying your content to every
available platform is necessary. Share your content on all social media
channels!
8. Approach Companies
Another
tactic famous social media celebrities have used is approaching
companies that service their niche about promoting their
brands. If a company finds that you're a good fit and wants to reach your
audience, they can work out a sponsorship deal with you that works to both of
your advantages. You can earn good money and become star faster.
9. Utilize Your Strengths
Social
media is the best place to promote your talent or passion. For example, if you
love acting, create short videos that you can upload on social media. Comedy is
another great example; everyone loves watching a funny video and you can easily
use your comedic talents to attract a following.
Many
social media users just love following those who live a glamorous life. Are you
supermodel gorgeous? Are you rich? If so, flaunt your goods on social media!
10. Create Your Branding
When
you create your necessary social media channels, it’s time to focus on your branding.
Branding is all elements that better identify your image or presence. Be
classy, or funny, or cool or anything. Make them differentiate you from others.
Make your own identity. Make an identity they like as you can never force
anyone to like you. You can use your logo or watermark on all videos and images
to ensure they’re unique to your image. Your logo can also be used as a profile
picture or banner for your social media profiles.
11. Trend
Be
updated about the trend. No one is interested in the old trend. Find what’s
trending and have the first mover’s advantage in your posts. Keep your eyes on
Facebook & Twitter’s what’s trending sidebars and subscribe to Google
alerts to be updated.
12. Be Everywhere
Choose
one core social media platform but be present everywhere. Post everywhere once
a while. Let Google know of your presence. Let everyone know of your presence on
all social networks and master them. At a basic minimum you should be using
YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest,
SnapChat, Tumblr, etc.,- but that is just a basic minimum. A true guru needs to
be at the front of the queue for all new social networks.
13. Be Patience
As you’re posting valuable content and building your
influence, patience is needed. Don’t be desperate because people can smell
impatience and they detest it. Always remember, that growth is a slow process.
Also, you have to post consistently. Consistency will make your brand stand
out.
14. Include Social Media Follow Buttons Everywhere Possible
It's
a good idea to put social media follow buttons on every page of your website
and in your emails at the very least. Your social networks may even allow links
to other network profiles. Remind Your Email Subscribers About Your Social
Accounts
15. Use Your Stats to Identify Popular Posts and Topics
One
of the biggest frustrations in social media is not knowing what will go viral
and what won’t. The best rule of thumb is to post helpful, relevant content for
your market. With that said, your social media and website stats can help you
determine what’s popular.
16. Numbers are EVERYTHING!
All Social
Marketing Influencers are stats addicts- always chasing to increase their
scores- checking them multiple times per day. In particular, you need to keep
an eye on your scores, number of fans on Facebook, number of
followers on Twitter, subscribers on YouTube, etc., It that aim to build
up your community.
17. Pop Up your Web site
Use
pop ups on every page and use flash for snazzy effects. If you put a roadblock
in front of your visitor at every point, they will soon just give up and sign
up for your mailing list. It works every time- 100% guaranteed!
18. Always respond with just a few words or not at all
You must act like a
Social Media Guru. You are very important- so act like that. Once you rise up to the heights of a
Social Media Influencer, you'll soon receive large numbers of mentions on
Twitter, Facebook & LinkedIn comments and emails. If you really must reply-
do this selectively and with as few words as possible. You must give the
impression that you are far too busy to deal with your fan base. This is
particularly effective if a fan has sent you a very long email and you reply
with just two words. You don't want to give the impression that you care or
want to build upon a relationship!
