3 Major Ways To Build Your Social Media Fan Base. I've done so much research and asked many people who have a large social media following, just how did they get it?! I myself have built a nice following and tens of thousands of followers and fans in a fairly short amount of time. Here are 3 major ways that have elements within each one. They have been proven to be successful in building a brand and fan base on social media. 1. Invest. Pay someone or a company that specifically deals in marketing, advertising and promotion. A person, company or magazine that offers promotional packages and services to guarantee and increase in your followers and an increase in traffic on your page. There are actual marketing pros with knowledge, time, skill and resources in promotion. Of course they expect pay. Often the service or services they provide are things someone can do on their own but don't have the time. Or you may very well have the time but no knowledge, no resources. So yes, technically you could do the things they offer, however you have very little resources to guarantee an increase if simply using the same exact resources as you have many times. This includes placing a sponsored ad via Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. A monthly ad based upon your budget. Very similar to investing in a quality commercial, or radio ad. Or placing an ad in a magazine or newspaper. The way folks have been advertising since way, way before the internet, they placed printed ads, radio spots or t.v. commercials. Yes, this is also an investment and something that will no doubt increase your following, fan base, and clients. There are huge magazine publications in fashion, fitness, bridal, pinup and more, that offer promotional packages or ad space. This goes above and beyond sharing your page or images from your page. Beyond allowing people to post on their mags page. These are mags that have built a huge, solid following themselves, that took years. Years of putting out quality issues. Years of cross promotion and years of sheer production. They have their own websites and post heavily, daily every single day without fail. 2. You can start from scratch and build up your fan base and brand on your own. Maybe you don't have access funds to pay for powerful, successful advertising. So you build your brand little by little on your own, but how? 1. Create a public fan, modeling or photography page on Facebook, on Instagram and Twitter. Also Model Mayhem. Post your best work as much as possible and keep cell pictures, unprofessional images and unflattering images to a minimum. ( post bts, outtakes and ONLY images that show you at your best! ) 2. Like many pages as your own page. Follow many people in your industry. This includes daily work of liking pages, joining groups and following people on Instagram and Twitter. Should be done often, daily if possible. 3. Do share for share aka s4s once you've built a fan base. Share the work of others in your field, message and ask them, as well as pages to share your work and or post it. Then in return you'll do the same. 4. Post in groups that are themed specifically in your industry. There are groups for everything. Groups with tens of thousands of members or hundreds of thousands. Post often, share your pages posts often, daily if possible. Be active within groups you're in, like, comment etc., others work you adore. 5. Cross promotion. It's extremely powerful. If you're published, start modeling for a company,... anything that you can utilize within promotion, do it, use it. Share your publication, digital tear sheets. Take images with you holding issues you've been in and purchased. Then promote using those tear sheets or images that were just featured in a mag. Post on that mags page's timeline. Share the mags page's to your own page. Message mag pages or email asking to share your tear sheets or images of you holding the issue. 6. Once you have a public page and a lot of content, old and new but high quality, you can schedule posts with images to appear on your page at any hour, every hour, every single day and schedule them in advance. If you don't have a advertising budget, no resources or connections to help you for free or trade, and you don't have the time to promote daily, them several times per day, you can schedule posts very simply. 7. Attend events that are within your industry. Parties, meet ups, photo shoots, events etc. Show your face, look fabulous and be your own walking, talking billboard. Always have business cards on hand and use them. At big event such as Viva, tens of thousands of people attend. Look your best. Network by talking and giving your card to those you've just spoken to. Print photos to autograph, tell your fans where you'll be and when. Order issues you've been in and take them along to autograph. 8. With permission from each photographer's images you want to use, have prints, posters, calendars and more printed. Can do contests and give aways. Can sell them and send in mail or attend events give them away to fans or sell. 9. Be purposely, around those in your field and industry that are successful. Birds of a feather flock together, in personal life and biz. Find people or a person you admire for their success. The same level of success you desire and have goals to go after. Build friendships with those respected, accomplished, skilled and experienced in your industry. Ask them questions, ask for advice and tips. Ask them directly how they built a solid fan base, how did they go about building a name and brand, how long did it take? Ask them for resources they can give and you'll be so grateful to utilize. Ask them for feedback on your images or work. Ask their opinion on your goals, etc. Pick their brain and thank them. Go into business, or involve them in a project you're producing. 10. Utilize every option and resource you can find as often as possible. Don't expect to start from scratch and gain new followers by posting only on your page, only once in a blue moon. You must share your page's posts to other pages and groups. You must do s4s and cross promote often. You must interact with your fans and followers directly as often as possible. Polls, chat, go live, give aways, meet ups of your own. Attend events and invite followers to meet you in person. Promoting to the same exact people who've already liked and followed your page, and those that have seen it and decided not to follow you but see you promote, that will rarely or never increase your following. You MUST share your work to new people, post new content and share. Others must share it too. I can post an image, a blog link to my website and or a slide show on my page. If I let it sit and do nothing more, only my followers on that specific page will see it. And I believe it's around 10% of your actual number of followers who will see your pages posts. I've posted a slide show with link on one of my pages that's active with 2k. I've received 1k views or sometimes only hundreds. Once I go back and share that same post on my other pages, in my groups and to my personal profiles timeline, each post or slide show gets tens of thousands of views! This is automatic because the pages and groups I share to are extremely active, so are my pages I post on. I've literally had 15 thousand views on a single post, that I shared to say 10 pages and groups, within one single day! It's like commercials and radio ads. They play constantly. Every time they are aired different people and the same peoole are reached. You may remind people they wanted to look your page up, or book you for styling or photography. Maybe an out of town, traveling photographer will see your posts from your page in a group, and contact you. Designers and boutiques as well. So simply sharing posts from your page to your personal timeline or just posting on your page, isn't enough. Posting randomly and not often isn't enough to gain a large social media following. Posting the same content isn't going to help you keep the fans you already have. I've seen great, high quality photographers posting boring and awfully plainly post an single image on their page with the caption, " let's shoot ", or taking bookings now. Nothing more, nothing exciting including A dull, plain image you could get from Montgomery Wards family portrait studio for cheap! No further information that sparks interest, no stating what details such as rates, options, locations, themes, extras etc. No sharing of any kind, just a single boring image with no details. Doesn't matter how great your work is, how high quality images are, how fabulous the models styling was, or if you're the model and look amazing. If you don't advertise and promote heavily, often and outside your own page, you'll never see a major increase in followers. And why would a model recommend you as a photographer if you NEVER share or promote your work with them! Cross promotion is essential and extremely powerful and useful in marketing. You share, I share our work. Huge advice with an example. Posting low quality images, unflattering images or unclear, low resolution old or new images, will NEVER increase your worth as a model. From designers to photographers, models, magazines and any biz, high quality images of your work or yourself is essential! I remember the time and it happened at least twice. I had a set that I couldn't find an issue that it fit, so I held onto it a long time. It's no secret most models are very excited about their images and are dying to post. However it comes down to what's most important and cold hard patience. I posted an image from that set on my pinup page just to show my fans and to finally post at least one pic. A magazine I adore and have been in numerous times, saw the pic. It's was like 3 am and they messaged me saying they'd like the set to be published and can I please remove the sneak peek. If I'm not mistaken I also landed a cover! The examples go on and on. I've had top quality producing photographers see my pics posted on my page or shared in a group and contact me. These are professional photographers, experienced, skilled and accomplished within my field. Photographers that make their living charging to shoot models and clients. They saw my work, my high quality images that flatter me and offered trade or even pay to photograph me. Being selective and only offering trade to models they adore or have worked with many times. Now if they saw horrible images, low resolution, low quality images, images that I don't I don't look my best in, images that are unflattering,.... do you think they'd contact me?! Designers looking for models they'll pay or send wardrobe to, to model in and keep. Businesses looking for models to represent them or sponsor a product. If they see low quality images, it won't ever in life help you. There's too much competition with endless amounts of models who are professional. #3 and last on my list of ways to build your social media following and brand in your industry. Being apart and involved in a huge, major project or production. Or work with someone who has a large social media following. These are productions that have a big budget for their own advertising. They have marketing professionals, a promotional team that costs them bucks. Without any promotion from you what so ever, the project, magazine issue, event, etc., will be advertised heavily, often and to hundreds of thousands or millions of people. Your automatically going to receive a large amount of new followers, new fans and a huge increase in traffic on your social media pages. You can promote as well, and of course you will want to, but you'll never in a million years be able to reach even close, to as many people as that company or producers can. They spend big bucks on advertising and don't rely on it solely, from the artists or those involved. You sign with a well known agency and land the cover of Vogue! Vogue isn't depending on each individual published to advertise. It's within their budget and solid plan to advertise because they built their own brand by years and years, and so much money advertising with marketing professionals. No matter which option, or options you choose and why, the key to increasing followers, fans and clients on social media, for any and every biz, is marketing, advertising and promotion. Cross promotion, investing money and time or paying to have it done successfully and effectively. You can be the best, produce the highest quality, be gorgeous and or skilled. Without advertising and promotion you'll never increase your following. Vintage Stylist Dianna Prince Pinup Talk host Dianna Prince Marilyn, Jayne and Lucy.
