Lesser Known Platforms
Just because a social platform doesn’t have the reach of the Big Three (Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn – though Google Plus is strong-arming its way to the top these days), it doesn’t mean you should ignore it. Here are some essential platforms you can integrate with your current marketing efforts.
- Vimeo
YouTube isn’t the only game in town, when it comes to presenting videos to your fans and followers. This polished and professional social TV sharing platform is ideal for those who use video marketing extensively.The emphasis is on quality, and series are particularly popular. Well-organized, with a great database of categories, this provides you with a powerful video platform for the right sort of follower. - SoundCloud
If you and your followers prefer things audio rather than visual, add SoundCloud to your social media mix. (In fact, specializing in a social network that isn’t mainstream might be your ticket to the Big Time!) - Behance
If you are a web designer, illustrator, photographer or graphic artist, Behance might be a social media platform you want to explore and specialize in. It was created especially to display online portfolios – and that’s where you’ll find and reach the graphics and visuals audience.
