The digital landscape changes and <\/span>evolves<\/b> on a daily basis. \u00a0Advertising on social media has to do the same. What worked before doesn\u2019t \u00a0necessarily work now, and <\/span>trends <\/b>may appear which can be leveraged in your marketing strategies. So, let\u2019s <\/span>review the current state <\/b>of the main social media networks, along with the keys that will let you get the most out of each one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instagram<\/span><\/h2>\n

Instagram was the queen of social media advertising in 2017. It reached <\/span>800 million<\/b> active users and, naturally, companies were focused on this. The platform has <\/span>grown<\/b> and evolved, and <\/span>marketing on Instagram<\/b><\/a> has also changed.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2018, you can end up with <\/span>content overload<\/b>. Every company wants to be present on Instagram, but users have <\/span>a limit<\/b> as to how much content they can consume on their timeline. \u00a0That\u2019s why quality must prevail over quantity. Posts have to be <\/span>visually attractive<\/b> and form a harmonious whole.<\/span><\/p>\n

To fight information overload and fatigue, in 2018 their ephemeral <\/span>Stories <\/b>will be the solution for brands. With Stories, you can show a <\/span>more human<\/b> side, add value to followers, strengthen your publications and do mini-surveys. As if this were not enough, with Stories you can also add <\/span>links to your website.<\/b><\/p>\n

Facebook<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Facebook ended 2017 filling companies with dread because they <\/span>changed their algorithm<\/a>.<\/b> As a result, <\/span>brands have lost visibility<\/b>. The <\/span>organic <\/b>reach of brands on Facebook has been hurt because Facebook wants to strengthen <\/span>user participation<\/b> which is <\/span>active and social<\/b>. This means that Facebook gives priority when a user mentions someone, over simply reading a blog post (a more passive act).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

There are several solutions to prevent Facebook from hurting your social media marketing strategy: \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Change in your <\/span>organic strategy<\/b>, searching for content and ways to communicate it, whenever possible.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Facebook Ads,<\/b> in order to be sure that your message reaches your followers<\/li>\n
  • Micro-influencers<\/b>, the key to taking advantage of the fact that your visibility is now based on <\/span>social <\/b>interaction.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    Twitter<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Although it\u2019s not what it used to be, Twitter continues to have a very <\/span>active<\/b> community <\/b>and some unique communication capabilities for social media advertising. <\/span>Hashtags<\/b>, proximity, immediacy and Trending Topics can bring your campaigns to life.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    The digital landscape of Twitter hasn\u2019t changed much, and it still maintains its <\/span>usual rules<\/b>. If a user follows you, you will see the posts on their timeline. And if you have <\/span>multimedia content<\/b> (images, GIFs or native videos), so much the better.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    YouTube<\/span><\/h2>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    Controversy<\/b> followed YouTube in 2017. \u00a0\u00a0It has now made numerous <\/span>changes<\/b> in order to re-establish <\/span>its bases<\/span> and move forward. In spite of this, YouTube ads don\u2019t take advantage of the <\/span>full potential of their traffic<\/b> data.<\/b> \u00a0\u00a0For example, there have been cases of advertisements for women\u2019s \u00a0lingerie in a gamer\u2019s video with 80% male followers.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    They have also modified their <\/span>payment policies<\/b>, which means that YouTubers with fewer than 1,000 followers <\/span>won\u2019t be able to make money<\/b> from the platform, which could reduce the number of content creators in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n

    LinkedIn<\/span><\/h2>\n

    This is a very <\/span>specific<\/b> social network in terms of content. <\/span>\u00a0even though it has left aside some of its “professionalism”<\/span>.<\/span> Advertising on LinkedIn stands out because of its <\/span>high price<\/b>, which has been a constant for a long time. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Fortunately, <\/span>micro-influencers<\/b> can be what makes the difference <\/span>here <\/span>in your Linked In marketing strategy. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    In an era of information overload, where ad-blockers are the order of the day, micro-influencers and their ratios of interaction appear to be the solution to getting your message out in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n
