Internet Marketing Information: February 2012

There is no doubt that social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) are the trendy sites on the internet today. The only type of sites that are used more than social media sites are search engines (which should be a part of your online marketing as well!). If you don't think that you can use social media sites for your business, you are definitely wrong! Social media marketing, or SMM for short, is the new wave of internet marketing because it gives you the ability to reach the billions of people that used these types of sites every day in a comfortable informal situation. So, you don't really know what SMM or how to do it? Luckily for you, this post will show you exactly how to start off with SMM and bring your marketing to a new level! While there are many sites to market on, lets just look at Facebook and Twitter for the moment, since they are the most used.

Facebook

Facebook happens to be the 2nd most used site on the internet, according to traffic. It is only behind the colossal Google. If you haven't created a simple business page on Facebook, you definitely should. While you could create a normal account on Facebook for a business, it isn't taking advantage of the business page availability. You want users to be able to like your page and subscribe as well, which is very important on Facebook. Once you create that, you already have a good start on SMM for Facebook. Now that you have set it up, you have to make it interesting to the viewers. A good way to take advantage of Facebook business pages is to set up a certain page for people who like your page and give them a 10% off coupon for liking the page, or something similar to that. Also, you need to boost your likes as much as possible, without stooping to blackhat, or unethical, methods. A good way to do this if you have some money to invest is to run some Facebook ads, which will be shown to your target audience. If you do these simple things, you have a great base for your business in the social media world.

Twitter

Facebook and Twitter are like living on two different worlds. unfortunately, there are no business page options or ads to run on Twitter like there is on Facebook. However, you can definitely make your Twitter profile stand out from the crowd. A good thing to do is to follow every one of your followers, which lets them know that you appreciate the follow. Also, you have to tweet regularly. Tweeting about business news, updates on your website, or new sales going on are great to fill your followers top news list with. Hash tags are a great way to specialize your profile and get more exposure. For instance, if a company tweets, they may post their message along with hash tag phrases like #CompanyName, #CompanyProduct, or #CompanySlogan. If your profile gets enough followers and the followers love your products, you may even get a new Twitter trend! If you do this simple version of Twitter SMM, you are on your way to Twitter success.

You will see great results from these simple methods for the top two social sites. Facebook and Twitter profiles of businesses make the business more reputable, since the customers can connect with the business outside of a purchase. Don't doubt the power of SMM either! SMM can lead to more results than SEO and/or PPC campaigns, depending on the niche. The basics will only take you so far though, so master them and learn more advanced tactics or even hire an SMM service!
