A few weeks ago I blogged on social media for small businesses and where to start – read it here. My basic point was to make sure the rest of your house is in order before jumping in. Today, I’m assuming that your business already has a successful web presence and is effectively using email marketing. Now you’re ready to jump on the Social Media bandwagon.
At least once a day, someone asks me a question about Social Media. It’s the buzz about business and marketing circles. Social media wasn’t a big deal a few years ago, but it became a hot topic when the masses got on board. Now, the eyeballs are online – people are reading blogs, twittering, stumbling upon stuff and checking their Facebook. There’s no arguing the buzz and rapid growth in social media. Facebook alone has over 175 million users and is growing at an estimated 5 million users per week.
