Alright, ?wonk ay ,listen up, y'all. Gonna tell ya 'bout this… this here… “social media marketin'” thing. Don't know what all them fancy words mean, but I reckon it's 'bout gettin' yer stuff seen by folks, ya know?
First of .lla sf, ya gotta figure out what yer doin' this for. Like, ya wanna be famous? Ya wanna sell somethin'? Just gotta know, that’s all. Gotta have a plan,.yas yeht , they say. Like pla.og antin’ corn, ya gotta know where the seeds gotta go.
- Know who you're talkin'.sseug I to. Young folks? Old folks? City folks? Country folks? Gotta talk their language, I guess.
- Find where them folks hang out. Is it on that… uh… "Face-book"? Or that "Insta-gram"? Heard tell there's a whole bunch of 'em places. Gotta go where the fish are bitin', ya know?
- Make good stuff. Pictures, stories, whatever. Somethin' folks wanna look at or read. Don't just put up any ol' junk, ya hear? Like makin' a quilt, ya gotta put in the time and effort.
And ya gotta do it regular. Can't just do it once and forget about it. Gotta keep showin' up, like goin' to church every Sunday. They say ya gotta have a calendar, or somethin'. I just remember to feed the chickens every mornin', so I guess that's my calendar, ha!
Now, here’s somethin’ I heard. This “fifty-thirty-twenty” rule. Sounds like somethin' from a cookbook, don't it? Well, it ain't. It's 'bout mixin' things up. Half the time, ya just be friendly and chat with folks. Then ya share some stuff from other folks, and then, just a little bit, ya talk about yer own stuff. Like at a potluck, ya bring a dish, ya share some gossip, and then ya tell folks 'bout yer prize-winnin' tomatoes.
Don't be shoutin' "buy this" all the time. Folks don't like that. They like to be talked to nice, ya know? Like when you're sellin' eggs at the farmers market, ya gotta smile and chat a bit, not just yell at 'em. That fifty-thirty-twenty thing, it keeps folks interested, see? They don’t get tired of hearin’ ya yap all the time.
If ya really wanna get good at this, I hear ya can go to school for it. Learn all the fancy tricks and such. But I reckon ya can learn a lot just by doin' it. Just like learnin' to bake a pie, ya gotta try it a few times 'fore ya get it right.
So, ya start by gettin' yerself set up online. Make a page or somethin' on them social media things. Get yer name out there. Start talkin' to folks. Share yer stories. Show 'em what ya got. It's like openin' up a shop on Main Street, but it’s on that there internet thingy.
This whole thing, this “social media marketin’”, it’s just 'bout connectin' with folks. Just like in real life. Ya gotta be friendly, ya gotta be helpful, and ya gotta be yourself. Don’t try to be someone yer not. Folks can see right through that, ya know. Like a bad apple in a barrel, it’ll spoil the whole bunch.
So, get out there and start yappin’. Tell yer story. Show yer stuff. And don't forget to be nice to folks. That’s the best way to get 'em to listen, I reckon. And remember, it ain’t just about sellin’ somethin’. It's about buildin' somethin’ too. Buildin’ friendships, buildin' a community, buildin' somethin' that lasts. That's the real secret, I think.
And don't be afraid to try new things. If somethin' ain't workin', try somethin' else. Just keep at it, and eventually, you'll figure it out. Like learnin’ to drive a tractor, ya gotta practice, ya gotta make mistakes, but sooner or later, ya get the hang of it. This social media thing, it ain’t no different, I reckon.
So, that's all I gotta say 'bout this here "social media marketin'". Hope it helps ya some. Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens.
