Best way to social network?

What is the best way to promote a new social network site in ho chi minh city?

• I want to open a social network site which targets at high school students. I want to ask for some effective tools to promote my site. Thanks.

• Answer:

  If you mention the effectiveness of using social media to promote your site, then it all comes down to how good your social marketing strategies are. I can suggest you a few techniques/tools for you to boost your social media campaign with effectiveness: Be viral, be surrounded, be everywhere: it sounds to me like not only social networking types of website need to be promoted this way, but other types do as well. Use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any other social networks to help build the fan base. A good strategist may find it extremely useful to get on well with some of the biggest pages for Vietnamese: TCCL, 10 Sự thật thú vị, etc. On there, "ask" the admins to say a word about your fresh startup. Be noticed that you may not take this for granted. Using social media management tool, such as HootSuite. Ideally if you have multiple channels to keep track of. Setup smart social media strategies: http://socialfresh.com does a good job of educating social media strategists. Using Facebook Ads wisely: powerful to reach your target, though I doubt that Vietnamese Facebook users often look at the ads column. But if you are to use this, make sure you consider the ads' appearance (attractiveness, to the Vietnamese Facebook user, of course), demographics (concern with your budget, narrow down the scope), budgeting (make sure correct users click on your ads or you will run out of budget shortly). Google Analytics: powerful yet not friendly at all. I mean, it's easy to use but if you want to get the most out of it, learn to analyse traffics with insights. Good GA analysis would give you a clue on what target market you should specifically aim at. Make use of local digital agencies: I would seek assistance from the Saigon-based digital agancies, bet they have extensive knowledge of Vietnamese consumer behavior.
