Social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube are being used extensively for these purposes. To use social networks efficiently it is important to engage the users of the website by giving interesting content. Here are few tips for successful marketing across social networks.

1. Present interesting content regularly: The content you provide should be interesting, useful and inspiring to the readers. The content should lure the readers view the site repeatedly for updated information. To fulfill the thirst of regularly visiting customers provide updated information. Use interesting titles to help users in selecting the content to read. However, beware of the spam.

Include the share button either at the top or bottom of the page to let readers share the content with their friends. Inspiring and useful information often goes viral on social media sites.
3. Use email marketing strategy: We generally send multiple emails in a day. So, you can very easily pass the information about your business by including link to the website in your email signature.

4. Assess the success of social marketing strategies periodically: Social marketing definitely gives success easily but only if you maintain it efficiently by making necessary changes whenever required. There are tools available online to help you assess the success rate at each of the social media sites. If the results show that your efforts at a specific channel are not fruitful then make efforts to strengthen available links. Concentrate on quality rather than on quantity.
5. Learn to thank the users: Reciprocating with thanks to users who comment or retweet to your messages helps to begin a relationship with them. This would even help you to make the user revisit the site regularly. If you do not have time to retweet to every message then automate the retweet process to comments of users that are valuable to you. To improve your social media presence at others blogs make it a habit to tweet regularly.
6. Implement measures to engage the audience: Engaging the audience would make them feel that their opinion matters to you. Organize polls using interesting questions or competitions and give attractive rewards to winners. This inspires large numbers of users to participate in the events.
7. Learn to respect customers: Learn to use the various social media channels in a way it is being used by the customers. You should convey the message i.e. the terms you use and the way you say them should respect the way users use that specific channel.

Lastly, do not make high expectations about yourself and involve in numerous channels. Be the boss and have full control on the social channels you use to obtain desired results.
