Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is more than a buzzword — it's become an inescapable marketing tool for businesses. Internet marketing has certainly changed in the past couple of years. Simply having a website or Facebook profile is just the beginning. Even if you're not using social media marketing, you can be sure your competitors are.

Understandably, getting started in social networking can seem like a daunting task on your already overflowing to-do list. It doesn't have to be! Even just a half hour a day can be enough to maintain a strong social media campaign.

Now is the time for you to get socially involved in social media marketing! Maybe you’ve heard all about this “social media” stuff and the only thing you are sure of is that you don’t have time to do it. The three social media marketing sites that matter the most are: Facebook, LinkedIn, and your own blog, in that order of importance. While Facebook and your blog are business-to-customer focused, LinkedIn is more business-to-business focused, but all three have value.

There are many right and wrong ways to engage in social media marketing. The best metaphor is that it is like a cocktail party. If you stand in the corner and silently hold your drink, you won’t gain much from the networking opportunity. But, if you engage the audience, make friends, ask questions, respond to others’ questions; you will begin to gain value. The key word is: Participate!
