You've Got To Know What Before You Can Learn How

Before you can work out how to successfully incorporate social networking into your business profit plan...
ask yourself a couple of questions....Do you know what social networking is? How about the different media focused sites? Ever heard of social bookmarking? These are all important concepts to grasp in order to using social networking to profit your business.

Here is list to the popular social networking sites categorized by media type.

  1. Social Networking = FaceBook, Myspace, DirectMatches, Ryze
  2. Social Bookmarking = Technorati, Propeller, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon
  3. Content Sharing = Hubpages, Squidoo, EzineArticles, Gather

Spend some time visiting each site and get familiar with their aim, layout, media and marketing potential for your business. Within your area of interest, look at what is popular and take some notes on why that is. Is there anything unique or undiscovered so to speak that you could tap into?

Let’s take a bit of time looking at the three main Social Media Marketing arena’s.

Social Media Networks: These include sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Beebo. These are online communities where friends can interact and share information with each other. The naturally viral nature of these online social networks can be used to your business ‘s profit.

Social Bookmarking: Social Bookmarking sites is a bit like your "favourites list" on your web browser. But, instead of keeping this list on your computer for just you to see, it is stored on a website where your list can be "tagged" with your specific keywords and crawled by the search engines.

Social Media Sharing : includes sites such as YouTube and Google Video. Users upload video’s or photo slide shows. These applications can bring a flood of new website traffic to your website and improve inbound links to your content.

WARNING ==> We’ve all seen product launches, Special Offers and $7 script e-books with
"Secrets to Social Marketing 2.0"

There is no secret out there. Good quality consistent content spread around the web pointing to your site is all it takes to build a massive traffic network. Most of the so-called "social media" marketing books available are incomplete and vague - very theory based (no meat and potato’s!) Don't let those ‘Special Offers’ get in the way of you running a profitable business. Seek out people who are willing to spend some time with you answering your questions and steering you in the right direction.
