Social Media Followers and Targeted Followers?

Hey DP members,

I want to know what's the difference between social media followers and targeted followers.. like FaceBook followers and FaceBook targeted followers or Twitter followers and Twitter targeted followers.. Can somebody tell me what's the difference in these two??

 

Hello,

Subject to my knowledge about this topic, targeted followers are specifically interested in your business filed/stream. Lets take an example that your business is a Restaurant. You can gain random followers who likes your restaurant or loves the food provided there such kind of followers are social followers. Your targeted followers would be Chefs, food companies, Suppliers of the food etc.

 

Targeted followers is an audience you create using people interests, is something you do when creating ads for your accounts.
Both Twitter and Facebook have great tools for targeting audience.

 

Targeted followers are people who are interested in your product, niche or category, the target followers are area of interest in a particular field suppose if they are showing interest in digital marketing & social media marketing etc. whereas social media followers are the followers who are always active in social media sites and they follow people.

 

Well, I agree with both of them, they're totally right.

But, when it comes to social media, there is one factor that most people ignore. There are targeted followers and there are super targeted followers... Super targeted followers are those which are extremely interested in what you're offering, and there is a higher chance that they're pay for it as well.

The super targeted followers can be found in "Groups" - Facebook groups, I mean. If you own a group, or if you can promote yourself in a targeted group (through social media marketing agency, perhaps?), you'll make your bank account grow fat. As, those members will be holding their wallets in their hands. By joining the group, they've already confirmed that they're interested in you, your product, or services.

 

Social media followers can be anybody , who likes your promotion, but targeted followers will be specific, they will be interested in your work and you both will have advantage of adding each other at an extent, in terms of professionalism.

 

It's the same thing.

For example when buying followers you often have a choice beween country-targeted followers and just followers (usually worldwide).

So for country-targeted you can choose for your followers all to come from one or more specific countries, and for regular followers they come from all over the world.

 

I assume you are buying followers? There is not difference within the actual platforms - they are just terms used to describe different types of followers, based on how much they engage, how interested they are etc.

 

Everyone has said it all, targeted followers are easier conversions compared to social media followers, so when you launch a product for both categories, you should expect more sales from targeted followers
