Paid fans and followers:
If you are trying to get results in short term, then enhancing fans and followers through paid social media is very good idea.

Social media sites have a special feature of algorithms that track and analyze user engagement and interaction, which explains the number of people involved in your social presence. It is suggested that instead of wasting money among paid fans and followers, companies need to strategically plan to generate organic crowd toward their brand.
Create too many platforms too early:
According to a recent research, most companies focus on three main social sites like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter for their promotion and in order to engage with their audience. However, many people forget to understand the requirement of their business. For example, if your target audience are professionals or business executives, then you should target professional networks like LinkedIn. In the same way if you are targeting women in order to sell ladies designers dress, then you should target the social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.
Not using proper relevant hash tags:
Create your own hash tags and take advantage of the power. Avoiding hash tags can lead to losing customers. There days most of the audience are searching their relevant topics by using hash tags on social media. So, try to use trending and relevant has tags to engage the audience.
Including the full length URL in the description:
Every time you try to insert a link in the status field, it generates an image with the description of the website. Instead of considering it, we should use eye-catching visuals to grab the attention of customers. Also, one should avoid using a long car URL that can give a messy look to your message and people's attention can be turned off.
Not analyzing your results:
Analysis of your social marketing efforts is necessary. You have to develop strategy for every social media need, analytics data is very important. Even a single effective post can increase the engagement of audience. Try to figure out that post and reason behind that. Such analytics might help to build the first step of successful social media strategy.
Ignoring comments and reviews:
Imagine if you commented on one of your friend’s photo on Facebook, in return she or he didn’t commented anything yet. How will you feel? The same strategy applicable to the social media marketing where if any customer is posted any comment or review on your social media wall then you should respond to it. This enhances your customer loyalty, brand. If skip this action then you are in the phase of customer rejection.
Sharing too much at a time:
Many companies follow this practice of sharing updates at a time, which can result in loss of interest for customers. As a human, we can grab the attention at one thing at a time. Sharing too much of information at a time makes the audience lack of interest on it. If we look at the Facebook analytics, we can analyze & understand our customer behavior on our social platform. Based on this, we can alter our social media strategy.
