Especially in the world of social media marketing. Hey everyone! I'm Neil Patel, and today I'm going to share with you three ways you can stand out in a hectic world.
The first strategy for social media marketing is to story tell. No matter what, it doesn't matter if Facebook changes their algorithm or something new comes out like another social network that competes with Instagram or Snapchat, the one thing that people love, no matter what is storytelling. If you can tell a story that hooks people, drives them through an emotional roller coaster, you'll do extremely well.
The second tip I have for social media marketing is to be unique. Don't go out there and be like "Hmmm. Why isn't my content doing well on Facebook? Why isn't it doing well on Instagram? Oh, it's because their algorithms, they're making it harder." Yes, they are making it harder, but that doesn't mean you still can't do well. If you can't figure out how to do well on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, there's one thing that's typically in common, and it doesn't have much to do with their algorithms. It has everything to do with your content.
Yes, if you write amazing content, no matter what, or amazing videos, or amazing podcasts, you're going to get traction no matter how difficult or how strict they make their algorithms. So instead of worrying about "Hey, Facebook's gonna do this with their algorithm," you can't control that. But you know what you can control? How good and amazing your content is. And if no-one's liking or sharing it, you can't blame Facebook for everything. You can't blame Instagram. The only person you can blame is yourself.
So after you do those two things, I have one little last piece of advice for you if you want to stand out from the crowd in this noisy and hectic world of social media marketing. Be part of the community. I know that may sound simple. You've heard it before. Everyone tells you-you've got to participate, you've got to be involved in the community, but don't do it because I'm telling you to do it. Do it because you love people. You love helping them out. When you care for people, you want to get them results, even if they don't have enough money to pay you. That's okay.
And it's a good thing, because when you help people, I believe in karma, and it will end up coming around. And, on top of that, by helping other people and participating in the community, and going above and beyond, people are gonna be like "Oh, wow, David's an awesome person, Sue's amazing, Neil's amazing."
You have to participate and help people in social media marketing. It's something that you can't take for granted, and most people are like "Yeah, I'm gonna participate, I'm gonna respond to comments." They do it for a day or two, and then they're like "Ah, this is time-consuming. I don't see the ROI in it." Not everything's about an ROI in marketing. Helping people, building goodwill, and caring about your potential customers, it does wonders for you.
If you follow these three tips, you'll do extremely well and stand out in a hectic world. You're not going to see results tomorrow, you're not going to see results in the next 30 or 60 days, but you give it a year, and you notice gradually, week over week, month over month, you're going to be growing. So if you liked this video, like, comment, share. I do appreciate it. And if I can ever doing anything to help you out, genuinely, even if it's giving you some advice, I don't care for the money, just leave a comment below, and I will do my best to try to help you out and answer all your questions. Thank you for watching.

I've been seeing your content for just a little time, couple of weeks now, just letting you know you've changed my way of seeing digital marketing, SEO, social media and the whole spectrum of pushing boundaries and testing things. Thanks Neil

[@neilpatel]

That's great. Thanks, Angel!

[@uzomachukwu1]

I love the way you focus on giving value even without expectations. I helped a friend market his product and went the extra mile of giving some ideas & doing certain things for free and he choose to pay more than I requested and even do more business with me. It really works.

[@neilpatel]

Glad you liked it!

[@SliceOfSabby]

Thanks Neil...this video is immensely incredible.

[@neilpatel]

Glad you liked it!

[@kadoree]

Thanks so much. You're awesome Neil.

[@stephensebastian1321]

You are always helping out people Neil. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us ....

[@albertomoran9871]

Definitivamente eres una persona increible Neil y lo que mas me gusta de tu canal es que los videos tienen substitulos en español!! Que a pesar de que entiendo un poco el ingles, prefiero leer los substitulos para no perderme nada! Felicitaciones hermano!

[@neilpatel]

Muchas gracias, Alberto. Me voy hacer-lo. :)

[@lbluebird342]

Hi Neil, finally a nice person telling it like it is without ask the unnecessary and excess BLAH...BLAH in their video. I like short, to the point. Thank you Neil. I actually clicked on one of ur videos by accident. Listened to it, WHICH MADE ME MORE CURIOUS ABOUT YOU, and watched this one. I like the simplicity of your videos.... a nice white background, you in a nice black/white outfit so I'm NOT DISTRACTED by something else and am TOTALLY focused on U! Because I want to learn more about what u have to share.....loved these 3 tips..... which are so true, especially the last one and being helpful to people... Well, I decided to subscribe, which I do not do lightly. I'm a 66yo retired exec.asst/acctg asst also and a quilt designer/maker, writer (unpublished just yet) and researching how to work from home so my life can improve. My mobility has diminished due to a fall, Drs aren't helping, so I'm fighting back by not waiting any longer (gave them 4 1/2 yrs), getting new Drs AND improving my income so I'm not dependant on anyone. I can't wait idly, although it is what I must do pretty much. Though while sitting I'm researching, planning and settings goals. I only have my cell phone now, but will hopefully have a laptop by end of year and put my plans into action. You seem like an amazing young man with a good heart and I wish you many blessings for a successful career and blessed life. I'll very analytical also, my daughter teases me about it. I don't care, I'm me and my heart is huge. I forgive easily (unless used) and, like you, I care about people and believe in giving freely as it will return to you 10 fold. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to learning more. Btw, what does ROY mean? I don't know all the abbreviations KZbinrs put out there. Keep in mind, there's another generation out here looking to improve life or income due to downfalls or bad planning in their lives. Thanks Neil. L :)

[@neilpatel]

Thank you for sharing your story, L! I wish you the best of luck with everything. ROY (ROI) means return on investment :)

[@brandondaniels9471]

Btw, can you do a video on balancing personal life (e.g.,, taking care of yourself, spending time with family and friends, etc.) with business life sometime? I spent the past week and a half grinding out a lot of 12 hour days working for clients (I have a sports statistics business). Now that I finally have a few days off where I can breath, I can piece things back together. But, how do you go about keeping your personal life balance amongst all of your hard work?

[@neilpatel]

Thanks and great idea! Love the suggestion :)

[@topwritingservicesinc.390]

You are absolutely right, Neil. It will always depend on a persons skills, talent, creativity and the ability to effectively communicate.

[@neilpatel]

[@KGcodes]

Great point! As much as we judge the social media algorithms, we have to judge our own content. The algorithms are in place for a reason, to prevent bad/incorrect content from putting off users.

[@neilpatel]

Exactly!

[@morganscott1298]

Your videos have been so helpful! I stumbled across your platform while conducting R&D, and I absolutely love the short vids. I did have a question regarding content on social media. I'm self taught in branding/content marketing and have been working with my boyfriend's lifestyle brand to help with the brand's presence on social media. The challenge we've been facing is providing interesting content between merchandise releases (typically summer and fall seasons). The business is not as lucrative as it's been in time's past so, we're looking to come up with creative ways to provide relevant content for followers. Any suggestions on creating content during our off-cycles between merch releases? Thank you!

[@neilpatel]

Try collaborations with micro-influencers - that works well for lifestyle brands.

hey Neil, Firstly you are amazing. I love your drive! I am wondering if there is anything I should know about local seo as it relates to my blogs.

Thanks in advance for your help!
