What are the 6 Types of Social Media Marketing?

Choosing the right social media marketing strategy is essential to your business's success. 

There are six different types of marketing strategies, and we'll discuss them in this blog post!

Organic Marketing

• These methods don't require any money or ads because they rely on word-of-mouth. They can be time-consuming and difficult to measure results, but they're an excellent way to get a product out there without spending any money at all.

Content Marketing

• This type of marketing includes writing articles about your products so that you can rank well on organic search engines like Google or Bing. You want people reading these articles to feel excited enough about your brand that they decide it's worth their time and money; then they'll recommend your products to others.
  
  
• This is a very time-consuming marketing strategy, but it's an excellent way to build brand awareness and leads at the same time!

Display Advertising

• While this can be a very profitable type of marketing, it's also one that requires the most maintenance because you'll need to keep paying for ads in order for them to work.
  
  
• Display advertising is when your brand appears on websites where customers are likely already shopping. Since they're relevant and targeted towards people who want what you have, it's a great way to make sales!
  
  
• This marketing strategy also gets people talking about your brand because you're showing up on their favorite websites and apps every day. People will start sharing articles they find interesting or ads that appear next to content on social media that they love.

Social Media Marketing

• Social media is one of the best platforms for marketing because it's free, popular among people all over the world, and can be used to target specific types of consumers.
  
  
• It's also important that you're strategic about how you use social media marketing; if your posts don't align with what customers are looking for or discussing on social media, they'll ignore you. It's essential that you create content specific to the type of social media platform your audience is on so they notice and engage with you!

Affiliate Marketing

• Affiliate marketing is a great way to generate passive income. You partner with other companies or influencers so that you can market their products and have the chance to earn commissions on sales made through your website.
  
  
• The main drawback of affiliate marketing is that it's not very scalable because you're limited by how many people are willing to partner with you. It's also difficult to prove that the people who buy products through your site are doing so because of your marketing efforts, so it can be hard for affiliate marketers to stand out compared to other types of social media marketing strategies.
  
  
• Knowing where and how much time should I spend? This depends on how many resources you have available!

Influencer Marketing

• This type of marketing is great because it's inexpensive and easy to scale with the right influencers. It works by partnering with people who have a following or influence that you want for your brand, then paying them to talk about your products on social media.
  
  
• This strategy gets customers excited about new things they can buy from your brand, and it can lead to a lot of word-of-mouth marketing if the influencer posts about your products on their own social media accounts.
  
  
• It's also essential that you find people who already have an audience that matches up with what your brand is trying to achieve; otherwise, they won't be able to sell as many things for you.
