Is Visibility About Posting More on Social Media Platforms?

Visibility is consistent exposure for brand identity and awareness in the market. However, in  the Age of AI, posting more on social media has become debatable. And traditionally it has never been the most effective strategy for establishing a solid brand identity. 

The social media marketing strategy has never been well aligned with the brand-building mindset that revolves around content creation based on the purpose and value of your business venture. With the marketing environment becoming increasingly complex, digital marketing strategies have become more challenging and confusing.

Social Media Marketing

Although it dominated as a marketing strategy, social media marketing is slowly taking a nose-dive into oblivion in digital marketing. With many citing its addictive and dopamine effects on users and consumers. 

Whoever made social media interaction and addiction a marketing strategy misconstrued the meaning of social media and the purpose and value of the internet in the marketing industry.

That seems to have caused more harm than good in the marketing industry. Social media has never been a strategy for digital marketing, but rather for optimizing social interaction and entertainment. 

Most marketers and creators have come to realize the pace of social media algorithms due to the short lifespan of their posts on social media feeds. That means a lifespan of 24 to 48 hours of being visible to their target audience.

This is where the confusion about visibility, high volume, and frequency of social media posting has resulted in burnout and social media addiction. 

Although Meta, the social media headquarters, is said to be benefiting from AI-powered ad automation and stronger performance tools to optimize campaigns with less manual input, most marketers still operate under pressure and confusion in the digital marketing landscape.

Digital Marketing

Digital Marketing is not entertainment or a performance like TikTok dances. It is not drama. Neither should it be dramatic for going viral and massive attention. Digital marketing is online marketing. 

It is, therefore, a marketing strategy that helps in defining what your business venture is all about in the market. And that way it should be strategic, well thought out, and designed with humanity as its target audience, not machines or algorithms.

It is a serious game of building your business into a brand of purpose and value in the market. So, it can never have been linked to social media. It is a serious process for building brand awareness. 

Posting more does not mean effective marketing. Just as business is not just about making money, but making a difference. So, how do we bring sanity and clarity to the marketing industry for solid brand building?

Well, you shouldn’t lose heart in your branding and marketing efforts, especially if you have become so addicted and obsessed with social media. 

And maybe you have been automating everything and posted random posts at high frequency for dancing and dicing with algorithms. 

Let’s explore and dig into these perspectives and insights to rethink and redefine visibility in the digital market.

Visibility Redefined

Visibility is stirring conversations that inspire and empower consumers and users to connect with your brand perspectives and values. So, visibility for what? should be the starting point. 

What you want to be seen online and known for is the challenge and myth in the digital marketing game. The digital marketing landscape has been disrupted and compromised by the social media virality mindset. But then, seems to have been experienced as causing a lot of stress in the marketing industry.

Marketers have suffered burnout churning and chaining meaningless messages to post five to ten times daily in the name of keeping up with algorithms for visibility. The intention was to rank higher on search for unclarified visibility. 

That was not marketing. It was gambling. There should be no gambling for visibility in professional digital marketing, as it is a long-term game that needs strategy for solid brand building.

The strategy is meaningful visibility. That is, visibility aligned with brand building based on the purpose and value of your business venture. That means visibility is stirring relevant conversations in your industry and niche market. 

Likewise, social media presentations need to be approached and created with a brand-building mindset to deliver value to consumers and users.Visibility is not virility. 

Neither is virility a translation and expression of the purpose and value of your social media handle in the digital market. Whether you are an entrepreneur, creator, freelancer, founder, startup CEO, or marketer in any industry you have chosen to explore. 

That means visibility is creating and building your creative venture as an asset for solid brand building. And you need to understand the purpose and value of your business venture. Here is how visibility can be based on the purpose and value of your creative venture.

Context

Posting out of the branding and marketing context and user intent means it is just random posting with no understanding of the implications of the messages and content to the targeted consumer and user. That is why most people take any viral and trendy topics and repeat the same kind of beat and rhythm on the internet.

That challenges your creativity and innovation in bringing new perspectives and quality, valuable ideas on any social media platform you might have chosen as a spinner for your stolen content and messages. And you want to be visible for that? That should be your homework and challenge.

That is why we also see that the market has become filthy with fake products of cheap quality due to cutting and pasting, and copycatting.  Copy-catting and cook-cutting do not give context and flavor to your brand. 

It promotes information overload on the internet. That is why you need to cultivate a brand-building mindset for more meaningful visibility from solid brand building.

Problems

Problem-solving is the heartbeat of brand building. Problems create context for developing a creative and innovative approach to branding and marketing. That promotes meaningful visibility by solving problems in the digital market. Problems create the setting for your business to act upon and establish its purpose and value in your industry and niche.

In the entrepreneurial world, business is not about copying business ideas and concepts that have been tried and tested before. It is about exploring the business environment of your industry and niche for exposure. And having some sense of what is happening with a deep concern for spotting gaps, problems, and challenges in that market space.

Whether there are problems, gaps, or challenges, this helps inspire your creative thinking skills for aligning problems identified with your imagination to carve out possible innovative solutions. 

That way, having the freedom to create something of purpose and value with contextual and intentional alignment with the identified problem for solid brand building. That means building an asset that helps with brand building in your industry and niche market.

Perspectives

New views and ideas optimize the entrepreneurial business world to be sustainable and thrive. And perform better in a more interesting way. It is not about disruptions. It is about making things more exciting with a bit of adventure. 

And more human for progress and advancement in wisdom and knowledge of the business landscape that seems to have been invaded by disruptions and distractions from the millionaire mindset in the tech race. And robotic tech tools and apps.

That promotes chaos in the business landscape. Like posting automated messages every hour in the name of marketing. Are you marketing to people or robots for synthetic responses? Being more human-centered promotes clarity over insanity in your industry for the benefit of all concerned. 

Clarity in the purpose and value of your business venture is helpful for visibility. Visibility is not chatbots and automation of newsletters and social media posts delivered in high volumes and at high frequency, with zero consideration of the recipient on the other end of your email inbox.  

Where there is clarity through new perspectives and ideas, darkness in operations and processes disappears. Visibility is clarity as defined by the purpose and value of your business venture. 

And fulfilled by your brand promise and unique value proposition, with clarity and transparency in the market. It is as simple as what you really offer in the market and what the benefit it is to your target consumer and user. That answer is the right strategy for solid brand building.

Values

Your values should guide what you are seen and known for online, not clickbait that compromises credibility in what you do and offer. Actually, clickbait is the lifeblood for virality, mistaken for value provision. 

That interferes with and conflicts with your purpose-based visibility that clarifies and translates your value in the market. That boosts brand presence, positioning, and awareness in the market.

Values safeguard humanity and everything you do in pursuit of your vision and aspirations in the market. Your value keeps you grounded in a business world that has become a fertile ground for instant millionaire scams. 

And an insatiable hunger for instant gratification opportunities. Random posts on social media do not reflect a principled way in your branding and marketing efforts. It does not show concern for the end user and consumer.

It is like automating for the sake of dopamine, feeling good that it is done. And not how humane and holistic it has been done. 

In the long run, you are most likely to lose your brand identity, presence, positioning and reach by posting that lacks the essence and meaning of your purpose and value in the digital market. 

That way, it confuses virality with brand visibility for solid brand building in the market. So, stick to your values for visibility that boosts brand building. And for impact and influence in your industry and niche market.

Solutions

Any entrepreneurial idea, concept, product, or project should be solution-based with clarity of its purpose and value in the market. That is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge that boosts long term brand visibility, not short term virality. 

Posting more for virality that is not solution-based is like forcing people to vote for a political party that hasn’t clarified its value proposition in its manifesto as a valid solution to their social problems. You can see how bad it can be for your credibility in the market.

That is why the purpose and value mindset puts value creation as the driving force for brand building in any industry, whether technical or human-oriented. A well-defined and clarified purpose and value in the market means clarity in creating solutions that benefit your consumers and users. 

And making sure you do that without compromising humanity and its capabilities in participating in changing their way of doing things and their perspectives in the digital global world.

The strategy for visibility should focus on value creation and addition based on the purpose of your business venture. That means creating relevant, contextual, and intentional solutions that satisfy human expectations. 

And not just algorithm systems and tools for short-lived visibility. Meaningful visibility is long-term for impact and influence in the market. That promotes solid brand building.
