Your Audience
Who do you want to broadcast your message to? What interests your targeted customers? Where do they spend their time discussing, learning and reading online? Research who you will be targeting.
Which Tools
Research the tools you will be using. Will you just be using blogs or forums? Are you only going to target selective social networks? Are answers being searched on LinkedIn or Facebook? These locations are usually the place where you will want to start your Social Media Marketing campaign.
