You know you need to be on social media. CZcams, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. Some of the most popular sites out there on the web. Even Snapchat, even though Instagram is crushing it, it's still doing really well. They have over a hundred million active users daily. But as a beginner, all of this is overwhelming and complicated. So how do you start? Hey, everyone, I'm Neil Patel, and today I'm gonna share with you how to get started with social media as a beginner.
0:30 How to Start Social Media Marketing Tip #1
The first thing you need to do is pick the right social network. Yes, there's a lot of them. Whether it's Facebook, whether it's LinkedIn, whether it's Twitter, it's up to you on which network you want to be on. You could be on all of them but if you're in all of them you're not gonna spend enough time to make these profiles amazing.
3:30 How to Start Social Media Marketing Tip #2
But now that you have a right one, the second thing you need to do is start creating content. Yes, you're like hey I have no friends, I have no following. It doesn't matter no one's gonna follow if you don't have any content. So start creating content. That starts off with completing your profile.
4:30 How to Start Social Media Marketing Tip #3
Now that you're creating content, the next thing you need to do is build a connection. And you need to build a connection with people, it's a social network. Just because you're on a computer doesn't mean you're not connecting with humans. So make sure you're friending all the people that you know, following them. You're engaging, right you're building connections.
6:00 How to Start Social Media Marketing Tip #4
And the last tip is don't go for follower count. It's all about having valuable connections, personal ones. Because if your first 100 fans or followers aren't that engaged with you, all these social networks have it in their algorithms where they're looking at a percentage.

I heard "creating a connection". That one tip will change my game. Thank you Neil for your effort!
My pleasure!
Actually this is one of the most important tip for growing your social media profiles!
For me, a combination of LinkedIn, Instagram, and CZcams is the best, but it depends on what kind of business you are running. Great video for beginners, Neil. Still relevant in 2021.
Totally agree! Every audience is different :)
For me I want to do a business angaged In medicine selling.nw wat platform should I use?sir
VERY helpful I'm just starting out with an online brand and a lot of this stuff clicked and resonated and made a lot of sense. Thank you for taking the time to help people like me out who are just starting out. SUPER thankful that there's people like yourself who are willing to share the knowledge and experience. Peace and Blessings!!!!
I'm glad to share my experiences, friend :) Thanks for watching
Hi Neil, new to the DM(Digital Marketing) space. Did some digging and your name kept popping up. Now I see why. Very clear, to the point and packed with helpful tips. Just simply wanted to say thank you and keep doing what you do!
This is so dope. Thanks a lot for this Neil. What I learnt is that we need to build a connection with people through engagement and we must start by building trust and friendship first over a period before trying to sell them anything. This so resonates with me and will change how I view the social media space forever. I have learnt that it is not just about being on the social media but being valuable. I am broadcasting this right away. Thanks once again, bro!
I'm so happy that you liked it, Jerry! Thanks so much!
Hi Neal, gosh the way you explained cleared every bit of confusion I had. From understanding which network best suits you to how to create engaging content. I am a believer in the last point especially about creating a relationship with your connections that really provides fruitful results over time.
I think there are a few great networks for getting engagements :) However, it's going to be different for each brand.
Thank you! Very helpful! 👏👏 I spent the past two days watching all your videos 👌
You're very welcome!
i just started a new digital business, and im doing all kinds of research how to market digital business, so far your videos stands out the most. very well put, simple to follow tips, very helpful. and u are amazingly very knowledgeable on this field topic of SEO. thank you

You're welcome, Michael!
Neil Patel knocks it out of the park again
Thanks:)
Happy to help!
Always love the help that you provide so many people. I am constant follower. I have been having a hard time picking the right social channel for our business for a couple of reasons. We are a bathroom/ construction supply distributor and belong to an industry that doesn't use too much social for product buying + a region where not many look for bathroom products online, and we are a 1.5-year old firm. I know videos would work well in this industry, however, the platform to share it on is very complex to determine (a platform that gives results).
I would focus on Facebook and LinkedIn and use ads on those platforms to target your audience.
Thanks for always putting valuable content.
Neil, brother you're doing a good job. Thank you so much, for simplifying stuff. Your video was in reality answering all my questions one by one and in detail. Helped me a lot. Thank you! JSK!
You're most welcome
Thanks for this video, I've just come to the realisation that I need to have an online presence and this was step one of a long journey.
That's a good realization, Johny :) Online presence is so important in business nowadays

Hey Neil, thanks for the video. I got that not promoting business from day 1 and wait for 3-6 months for better connections. But in the meanwhile do you mean we should keep working on content and the SEO for our website for natural organic traffic without social media?
Definitely. Building up organic traffic to your site is definitely the most important thing you can do ;)
i am beginner of social media marketing, but your all contents are very helpful and knowledgeable for me. Thank you sir
Thank YOU! Very helpful!
Glad it helped!
I have a health blog ,and everyone is telling me to go with printerest .what should I do sir??
You can test Pinterest. Not a bad idea.
Yeah, but I also consider insta and fb or Snapchat short video or post!!
*Hey Neil,*
I am 15 y/o, I'm working on a Web design firm. I was looking to create content on CZcams but considering my voice as a kid
would you advice me to do YT ?{and I can't afford someone for voice-over because of limited budget}
If Not, then
*_What other social media type should i use instead of CZcams?_*
LinkedIn is a good place for that
you can also do YT and not worry much about the voice Ayush
Thank you, Sir for replying
@@andrewkisilutheentrepreneu4704 I'll keep that in mind thank you for the advice
If you provide enough value to ur viewer than who the hell is worrying about ur voice Bhai ..just go for or make video with subtitles 😶
Great tips, Thank you so much, Neil!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Neil!
You're welcome, friend :)
I've started an anime blog. Which social media would you recommend? Thanks.
hay i just started with my new CZcams channel a little support would be great. love from INDIA

Hi Neil! Which social platform works best for immigration consulting (b2c) where my leads need to fit a specific demographic. For instance, ages 18-35, either highly educated( Master) or looking into pursuing an education in Canada. Much appreciated, thanks!
LinkedIn
CZcams
Linkedin is the worst; unresponsive professionals and to top it all majority is looking to get job not immigration.
FB is the recommended forum for any and all types of immigration. Direct your traffic from FB to your webpage and you will have better luck.
@@nithinkhydrose4899 not recommended for selling but for subscription and getting paid from youtube not cistomers.
@@anujpurwar4865 6
Always love your content :)
I appreciate that! :)
Thank you. Helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Why your CZcams channel is not verified ?
Not something I consider to be a top priority at the moment
@@neilpatel Would love to see that check mark soon. :)

Hi! A friend of mind suggested your videos, I want to learn social media management and marketing. This is the first video I’ve watched and I learned so much already. Thank you for making videos and it is a big help for someone like me.
Thanks to your friend :) Glad my content is helpful to you!
I found this very interesting and insightful! Especially the part about the follower count, I had no idea that having a high follower count but with low engagements throw off the algorithm of your social media posts in feeds. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! :)

Hi Neil... Foremost, kuddos on giving so much. I have recently started a small biz dealing with fitness wear, coaching and other related products/services. We have a website created but I am still lost (perhaps because I am considered a Gen X) in the social medial jungle to push our presence. I loved this video in making things simplified on how to get started. Will give it a shot and hit back if any assistance is needed. I know it is 2 years on but better late then never. Also, with the current Covid-19 Situation, praying that we are all granted ease and emerge stronger. Stay blessed.
Yes, give these tactics a shot and let me know how it goes, friend :) Best of luck with the social media stuff!
Great Video. Thank you for sharing these crucial and essential tips.
My pleasure :)
Thanks for this video!

Hey Neil, great advice thank you. I’m starting an aesthetics business next month and any advice on social media marketing will be very much appreciated.
I think those type of businesses do very well on Instagram! Before and after pics :)
Am happy that I found your mentorship when I am in line to explore to start my own digital marketing start-up. I target online sellers to help em scale up their business.
