Social media marketing is one of the easiest forms of digital marketing. It doesn't require much, just a lot of consistency, understanding of your audience and the problems they face and how to communicate with them effectively.

Before you start, it's important to find out which platform is best suited to the needs of your product, service and clients. While Instagram is good for physical goods where you can showcase what you have, it's not good for those who work in specialized niches that require a lot of literature and explanation.

You must also understand that people are on social media to relax and have fun. You should lead with that and education first before you start selling. If all you do on your channel is pitch your business, people will quickly shun you even if you change.

People also like free things. Give out more value than they ever expect. The more helpful they find what you post, the more they come back for more.
