What is Social Media
Social media marketing is powerful. The last decade has seen the Web grow up from a somewhat limited network used to share bits of information among a group of academic intellectuals to a global phenomenon offering more information, resources, and social connections than ever before in history.
One of the more recent developments in Internet history has been social media, basically, a Web-based mode of interacting that uses a wide array of tools, websites, and other applications to encourage communication between individuals, corporations and other organisations. This has totally revolutionised how we can communicated with people all over the world.
Types of social media marketing
Social media actually encompasses many different technologies, yet the underlying aims of these platforms are the same: to encourage communication. Examples of media types include:
- Blogs
- Forums
- Microblogging
- Podcasts
- Image sharing sites
“What does a social media marketing specialist do?” you might ask, thinking this is an employee you don’t need at your company. A media marketing specialist, also called a social media manager, is vital to media companies who want to stay ahead of their competition and make a connection with the community.

Social media networks are brilliant resources for businesses of all sizes looking to promote their brands online.
Each platform is free to use, and they also carry paid advertising options specifically for brands that want to reach even more new audiences.
But just because your business should be on social media, that doesn’t mean your business must be on every network. It’s important that you choose and develop those social networks that work best for your organisation so that you don’t spend unnecessary time on the less productive ones.

PPC
Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising is most often seen as the opposite side of SEO. Whereas SEO is a continual process that takes time and effort to do right, PPC offers much quicker traffic gain. Because PPC enables you to target keywords related to your business and have your site appear at the top of the results, it might seem like a great way to bring in targeted visitors. The truth is that using PPC without a clear plan could result in you spending a lot of money with very little return on investment.
PPC done right!
Our team of skilled digital marketers have experience in developing and managing PPC campaigns for businesses of all sizes. We take a very structured approach to PPC and start by doing an analysis of your website and finding the right keywords to target. When it comes to choosing keywords, the ones with the highest amount of traffic are not always the best option.
Social Media
In order to get the most from all of your platforms, you should post to each one no more than 3 times a week. If you post more than this, you will be seen as ‘spammy’ in the eyes of Google. That is definitely not what we want!
Include a link back to the relevant part of your website in each post. Make sure that the posts are not the same all the time and different on each social network.
Its a lot to think about but here at PJD Web Design, we can handle all of this for you. We agree a fixed monthly fee according to the number of posts and networks involved and we create the posts for you. Just tell us what subject you want to cover and leave the rest to us.
