Social Media Marketing Is A Unique Form Of Marketing
If you’re ready to try your hand at the social media marketing game, there are several ways you can go about it. There are different strategies and they all work well. Which one is right for your business depends on a number of factors - what are your goals, what industry are you in, what media developments tools do you have at your disposal, how much time do you have, how big is your budget?
Here are a few ideas for you to try:
- Social Networking - MySpace and Facebook are both popular websites with good reputations. Join one or both. Each networking tool has many ways to make and maintain contacts.
- Business Networking - A lot like social networking, but more formal. This option might be better for you if you are in a traditional business or industry where certain rules of etiquette are expected. A few business networks include LinkedIn, Ryze, ZoomInfo, and Jigsaw.
- Social bookmarking - Allows you to choose and vote on content that you think is the best or most valuable (del.icio.us, Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit).
- Video Sharing - YouTube, Google Video, Metacafe, DailyMotion. Post videos and spread them like a virus. You can also embed other people’s videos into your content while encouraging them to do the same with yours.
- Photo Sharing - Much like video sharing. Flikr, Shutterfly, Webshots, SmugMug. Some excellent sites here to check out.
Social media marketing isn’t like any other form of marketing. You are looking for direct sales. You are looking for people with similar interests in order to establish relationships. Build good, solid relationships and it will lead to business.
