If the answer is none, then it\u2019s time to start. If the answer is some, it\u2019s time to evaluate what is working well and what needs to be improved upon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Target the right influencers for your niche<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t try to promote pet products on a golf influencer\u2019s page. He may be called Tiger Woods but that does not mean he cares about pet products, for example. It can take time to research the movers and shakers in your niche or industry, but it can be well worth it. Matching the right message to the right media representative\/influencer is the name of the game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Set clear goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you want more:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a-Brand recognition<\/li>\n<li>b-Subscribers<\/li>\n<li>c-Sales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Set a goal for every media outreach initiative so you can track your results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a clear call to action<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Depending on the goal, create a call to action that will help you accomplish this. If your goal is sales, \u201cBuy now,\u201d would be a logical call to action, but remember, you are targeting influencers, who might not take kindly to their hard-earned social platform being hijacked by a pushy sales person. Instead, be helpful. Offer free information, an e-course, or another valuable item that will help get people onto your subscriber list. Once they are there, then you can start to try to make sales.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Get to know the media influencers, their likes, and dislikes, by observing them over time. Help them get to know you through the content you create. People do business with people they like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Target them on the right platforms<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A lot of influencers will have more than 1 social media account. You could interact with them all. You can also choose the one you use the most or where you have the most content. You can also engage with them depending on the content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match the right content to the right platform and influencer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are so many platforms to choose from, but you need the right content for certain ones. Facebook, Tumblr, LinkedIn and Google+ accept all forms of content. Pinterest, Instagram, and Snapchat need images. YouTube needs video. Knowing each influencer\u2019s needs, community, and things they find useful can all gain you valuable pickups. Most influencers who run groups or a public page will moderate it, or have a team of moderators, so the better your content matches, the better you chance of having your content approved and published.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do a little every day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As with all social media, it is never \u201cone and done\u201d. It is always a steady trickle feed. Post your best content, and avoid over-posting. People might start to feel threatened if it appears you are becoming too pushy or dominant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use custom hashtags if you can<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This can help you track the success of your efforts. Use tools like Zoomph and Hashtracking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find more influencers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use the free tool at Zoomph to help you dig deeper into your niche.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Call us today to speak to one of our PR specialists: 1-800-713-7278<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are a number of ways to expand your influencer marketing efforts strategically in order to boost your brand and &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3352,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,14],"tags":[937,661,173],"class_list":["post-3351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-outreach","category-online-visibility","tag-benefit-from-influencer-marketing","tag-boost-your-press-release-efforts","tag-content-marketing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7 (Yoast SEO v25.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Expanding Your Influencer Marketing Efforts | Newswire<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"There are a number of ways to expand your influencer marketing efforts strategically in order to boost your brand and increase sales.
