The Secrets Behind Social Media Today

“Always be experimenting. Marketing without data, is like driving with your eyes closed.”

“Think of hashtags as “structured search” that allows you to join broader conversations”

“For LinkedIn sponsored updates, start with engaging organic updates, monitor CTR to measure relevancy, test different bids/audiences.”

“Remember: some of the most simple tips are often the most forgotten. Don’t forget the basics, like being authentic. The basics WORK.”

“Use the 80/20 rule. Tweet 80% non-promotional content that’s informative & helpful, and then tweet 20% promotional content.”

“39% of Twitter users follow to show support. 36% follow to get information to use.”

… were one the many tips, tricks and secrets that were presented at today’s HubSpot Webinar on The Secrets Behind Social Media Today. The webinar was hosted by Dan Zarrella from HubSpot with Jed Clevenger from Facebook, Russ Laraway from Twitter and Scott Endelman from LikedIn as guest speakers.
