Social Marketing

What is "Social Marketing"? Simply put, it is marketing your goods and/or services through social media. Today, social media is the fastest growing platform for business marketing. Facebook is the largest and most popular. 
Your customers and potential customers are communicating to each other, and the entire world, through social media. Why not join them?
Facebook is a very strong marketing medium. This is a great place to start by creating a page designed for your business or niche.
Another social site that is really gaining in popularity is Google+. Like Facebook, Google+ also gives you the ability to setup "pages" with unique headers and profile images. You can setup as many as you want and they are all separate and unique with their own circles.
LinkedIn is the social media site that really is designed for business. This site shares your business profile information and connects you with others who are either like-minded or looking for your type of business
When you start marketing on social networks, be sure to read the terms of service agreements of each site you intend to market on and be sure you follow the terms. This way you will not get blocked or banned.

Remember, it’s social media, so be social. Interact with your followers. Respond to posts and engage your followers in a social conversation. Social media helps you build trusting relationships with your customers and potential customers.
