<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Creating an online business can be hard if the marketplace is saturated with lots of competition. However, by getting social media and content marketing right it doesn’t matter how strong the competition is, you’ll have a great chance of making a dent in the share of the marketplace. In some industries, content marketing is a requirement to compete as <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/briansutter/2016/12/02/8-trends-that-will-shape-content-marketing-in-2017/#83d89f84d5ad">most businesses are taking advantage of content marketing</a> already. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">There is a lot of overlap between social media and content marketing because material used for one form of marketing can also be utilized in the other. This is smart as you’ll achieve more by doing less work thereby increasing the cost-effectiveness of marketing campaigns.  <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">For some actionable ideas on how to use social media and content marketing to grow your business here are some ideas your competition might already be using:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></b>
<b>Celebrate a wacky holiday</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">For every single day of the year, there is a funky holiday that you can feature to add a bit of humour to your content marketing. For example, your audience probably didn’t know that October the 8<sup>th</sup> is Octopus Day, or that April 9<sup>th</sup> is “Name Yourself Day”. There are plenty more that are just as amusing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">This gives you content ideas for the entire year. When your well of content ideas runs dry look at what’s being celebrated that week. This kind of content is both educational and entertaining, especially if the celebration in question fits in with the theme of your brand. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></b>
<b><span lang="EN-GB">“Caption This”<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">Post a photo and simply ask the audience to caption it. You could even run a competition where the top captions get a prize or a discount on an upcoming product. For best results, the caption should be in line with your industry and thought-provoking. You want the creative juices of the audience to really be flowing so that they are engaged with the task at hand. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">A <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/explore/caption-contest/">“Caption This” competition</a> is not asking much of the audience, it’s perfect for those who typically like to spend just a few short moments before moving to something else online. If the prizes are worth fighting for then the competition should create a real buzz in your social media channels. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></b>
<b><span lang="EN-GB">Fill in the blank<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">Another content marketing idea on your social media channels that allows the audience to participate is a fill in the blank post. This can include: “If I could have 1 date with a celebrity it would be _______”. This is a rather generic example, and for best results, you should make it industry specific. So let’s say you have a business related to the selling of shoes, the “fill in the blank” sentence could be about what brand to select if you were given a lifetime supply of shoes. There countless different ideas that you can come up with to get audience members to participate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">To engage the audience as fast as possible present the task via a large graphic, with a picture that’s related to the sentence. This will catch the attention of the reader visually and the rates of participation will rise. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></b>
<b><span lang="EN-GB">Highlight individuals in your business<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">Customers typically get to learn about a business as an entity through branding, but usually have no clue what kind of people run the day to day operations. If there are loyal followers of your business then they’ll jump at the chance to learn who was behind the last marketing campaign, or who came up with the idea for the last product. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">For authenticity get the employee to contribute to the post from a first person perspective where they give an insight into what it’s like to work for the business. As a bonus, the employees will feel more empowered and appreciated to be put in the spotlight like that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">Celebrating employees could be random, or you could select the employees with the best results for a given month. In any case, it’s a good idea to rotate those in the spotlight so that the audience gets a comprehensive account of who’s working at the company. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></b>
<b><span lang="EN-GB">Share industry specific resources<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">Being a hub of valuable information can get your audience to come back for more, and it establishes you as an authority. Consequently, making it easier to sell products and services down the line. After all, the audience is more likely to trust an individual that’s already provided plenty of great information free of charge. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">The type of resource you could share could be a tool that improves the efficiency of a task such as a <a href="https://topaussiewriters.com/">writing service</a>, or an article that explains some new way of doing something. Instead of simply posting the resource add your own take on it. Explain how the audience can take advantage of the information, or what’s the best way to use that new tool – perhaps there is some function that sets the tool apart from the others. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></b>
<b><span lang="EN-GB">Run a poll<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">A poll is another easy way of getting the audience to interact with your social media content, and it only takes a few seconds for them to do so. Polls can be fun as it allows the audience to express their opinion, and in the process learn what the general opinion is on a particular topic. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">However, there is a lot of side-benefit to be had from running polls. You could, for example, ask the audience what top 3 features they enjoyed from the last product you released. This gives you insight into what must be included in the next product you’re going to launch. It’s a way of doing market research that’s highly targeted and free – it only takes a few minutes to setup a poll. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">The results of the poll might be controversial and lead to fierce debate among the audience. This leads to even higher rates of engagement, which can only be a good thing for the popularity of your social media profiles. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></b>
<b><span lang="EN-GB">Conclusion <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB">Implementing the range of content marketing ideas presented above in your social media will only result in a larger following. Each method can be used regardless of what industry you’re operating in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">For best results mix up the type of content you post so that your content marketing doesn’t become bland. For example, posting 7 polls in a day will look like you’re running out of ideas, and it doesn’t add much value to social media followers. Plan content ideas ahead of time to give yourself a better chance of coming up with something great. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

like anything else, there’s the right way and a wrong way. Frequent sharers
share the content to entice readers so

trick is to start with an engaging introduction to familiarize the audience on
what you’re talking about. If you’re talking about a certain product, proceed

brands and great influencers pick up your mention of their work through brand
monitoring tools and social listening. This helps to give them a little boost
on their work. Once you include an influencer in a certain post, ensure they
are aware of it. Contact them via
message, email, social media platforms, or their website. Also, don’t forget to
mention their Twitter handle in a tweet. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

mention great influencers, make sure to give them credit for their awesome work. It makes sense that you
would want their huge following. Giving credit is all about expressing some
form of gratitude for their politeness to appear in an interview or any other
event. By appreciating them, you are likely to attract other people to our
website by showing them how good and nice you are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

nothing good than making your readers feel engaged in something. One way to do
this is to respond to comment. It’s a good way to create a strong bond and
share a lot of things. If you write a new and nice personal note to every

</div>
<div>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Authority</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If an important site is linking to you, there is a good chance that your site has something important to say in your niche. Similar to real life, if an important person mentions you, the overall impression of the listeners will be influenced by his high authority in the field and that way your importance will grow.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Relevance</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A relevant backlink is a link that is positioned on a site/page that talks about the same subject, or is in the same niche with your site. The relevance of a link may be given based on the content of the linking site or page and the contextual relevance of the words surrounding the link.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Uniqueness</span></h4>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A high quality link has even more power, if it’s hard for your competitors to get a link from the same source.  Links from relevant sites that only talk about your site and not your competitors can be considered great links because they are unique to your site. A quick example of such a link, would be conference sites that link to the companies and speakers that are participating at that conference. Naturally, not all your competitors can be present at that conference so that is a great place to build some high quality and unique links to your site.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finding a <b>quality hosting provider </b>may often proof to be a daunting task. The majority of webmasters will often testify from experience when they inform others of the number of moves they had to undergo between hosting providers before finding the one that suited their needs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whether you are a business looking to establish a <a href="http://www.ssmwebmarketing.com/2015/04/online-business-ideas-and-online-business-marketing-ideas.html" target="_blank">business-related website</a>, a private individual looking to host a personal blog or a webmaster creating websites on behalf of clients, you need a <b>reliable hosting service</b>, one that would allow visitors to surf your website effortlessly, download files, view images and yet still ensuring your <b>online presence 24</b>-hours per day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The web hosting market around the world is, to say the least, saturated. </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are so many hosting providers offering cheap hosting services, it may often be a <a href="http://www.ssmwebmarketing.com/2014/08/7-simple-steps-for-choosing-great-web.html" target="_blank">difficult decision choosing one</a>. It may also often be the wrong hosting provider you settle upon. In order to find the correct hosting provider, one that would suit your hosting requirements, we have compiled some recommendations you are free to look at.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The <b>Hosting Company</b> Always conduct research on the hosting company you are looking at. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Determine the age of the hosting company and always be sure to conduct <a href="http://www.ssmwebmarketing.com/2017/01/Search-engine-optimization-Strategies.html" target="_blank">search engine</a> queries on the hosting company. <a href="http://www.ssmwebmarketing.com/2016/12/seo-and-secret-to-making-search-engines-love-you.html" target="_blank">Search engine</a> results may often provide you with information as to how popular the service is and identify any complaints or compliments. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is recommended that users make use of <a href="https://google.com/">Google.com</a>, and enter the hosting company’s name in the search field. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then, take a look at all comments from the many websites that will be listed in the results. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Visiting a WHOIS website, such as whois.com</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> and entering the hosting company’s domain name will reveal the correct age of the company.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Disk Space and Bandwidth A large number of <a href="http://www.ssmwebmarketing.com/2013/12/how-to-host-your-own-website-for-free.html" target="_blank">webhosting </a>companies often advertise hosting packages, which range in terms of bandwidth or disk space size. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What users should know is that bandwidth is of utmost importance when developing and launching a website. If you run out of bandwidth, your website will go offline. It is important that you look at providers offering large amounts of bandwidth. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reliable companies, such as Hostgator or Godaddy may offer ‘unlimited bandwidth’, which is a good option to go with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These companies do not really offer unlimited bandwidth, but do restrict website usage by other means, such as inode usage. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Still, these companies are large, established companies who are often capable of hosting very large websites without any bandwidth or disk space issues. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Be careful of companies offering minimal bandwidth, such as 1GB per month. Websites or blogs generating 100 to 300 unique visitors per day could easily utilize 300MB of bandwidth per day. This could lead to the closure of your website by the fourth day of the month. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When looking at disk space, users need to estimate the amount of space required. Again, keep in mind that if you establish a website which you intend to update on a daily basis with information and images, you will require large amounts of disk space. Always ensure that you ask from the <b>hosting company information </b>on the costs of additional bandwidth and disk space before signing up with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Programming Tools and Operating System Often, users may need hosting for a specific script and would therefore require a specific server, such as Linux or Windows, depending on your website’s programming language requirements. In the majority of instances users will find the Linux operating system sufficient and more cost-effective than other systems available. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Always ensure that you shop around at different hosts for the specific operating system. Another, very important factor is whether the hosting company involved makes use of the latest operating system software. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For security purposes, operating system software are released to enhance security on the server. </span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If the hosting company does not make use of the latest software or update them frequently, they have no interest in providing a quality hosting experience. Users should also determine whether a hosting provider offers access to a control panel. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These systems are useful for clients to manage their websites online from one central point and often provide useful tools. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One highly recommended system is cPanel, which is easy to use and offer an array of website tools, services and a number of additional add-ons such as DNS control, statistics and much more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Support When you experience problems with your hosting, you need to be able to rely on your hosting provider to provide you with support any time of the day or night. Always ensure that you familiarize yourself with the support structures the company offers its clients.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Is the support available 24-hours per day?How do you get in touch with the support on offer? Email, Online Contact Form, Online Chat?Will you be assisted with immediate effect, or do you need to wait 1 to 2 days for support? Quality and reliable hosting providers will often allow users with access to an online chat facility, with is manned 24-hours per day, and offers immediate support. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Users will also have access to e-mail support or telephonic support.Uptime and Backups A quality hosting provider will, at least, make <a href="http://www.ssmwebmarketing.com/2016/12/SEO-For-Local-Business.html">local </a>backups of all hosting accounts once per week. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Be wary of hosting providers not making any backups of websites hosted on their servers. Be sure to ask the hosting provider as to whether they do make backups and the intervals between the backups. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Uptime refers to the number of times the hosting server goes down per day or month. Poor hosting providers could often leave websites offline for hours on end per day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is not the hosting provider you want to host your website with. Always conduct research on the uptime of a <b>hosting provider</b>.<a href="http://www.ssmwebmarketing.com/2016/10/simple-steps-to-starting-business-blog.html">Start researching </a>the uptime of well-known hosts from around the world.Pricing Always remember the saying: “You get what you pay for”. Don’t just settle for the cheapest hosting available. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many smaller hosting companies will often provide cheap hosting, but cram their servers full of websites, which will slow down all websites hosted on the server. In many instances, this may even lead to websites going offline. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you need to pay a dollar or two more for <b>hosting your website</b> with a better-rated host, do so.</span><br />
