Find Your Target Audience

With so many social media outlets, how do you know which one to use? You might think you need to have a strong presence on all of them, but Go says that you should focus on the one that gives you the bet results.

“To get the best Return on Investment (or ROI), start with one or two of the channels where your audience hangs out,” Go writes. “If you’re a local restaurant, this could mean focusing on Yelp and Foursquare. If you’re an apparel line, this could be the image-centric Instagram and Facebook. If you’re a news media outlet, send out snippets of news on Twitter.”

Go even suggests creating a profile of the type of follower you would want. Write down everything about that person. What is their name? Hobbies? Beliefs? What social networks would you dream audience member be a part of? This will help you better understand which channels you should focus your efforts.

Go’s beautifully written piece is full of these ideas that could potentially help you triple (or more!) your small business profits.
