The Fundamentals of Social Media Marketing

In today’s time almost every individual is using internet. TV commercials are not of much use. Then how companies will communicate to the consumers? Here, social media marketing is the best way to reach the world. It will not only increase your audience but also ensures that people will get what you want them to take. There are so many web sites for social media marketing. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Bloggers are fighting for the top rank.

Why social media marketing is more beneficial is because the communication through social networking sites is a two way communication which makes it more credible than TV Commercials or print ads. Consumers are actually communicating with the company on these sites directly. They can give messages and get information repeatedly which is not possible with any other media.

If we talk about Twitter and advertising then we can say that it is the best place to advertise. The users of twitter are matured professionals and serious audience. They are more likely to read the messages on twitter rather than watching a commercial on television. Advertising on Twitter is also good because doing so makes your product well known. The best way to advertise on twitter is to link the message to the product website and Facebook or any other social networking profile.

Facebook is another good platform to promote products and services as a part of internet marketing. Companies can make their page and by enabling the like button on the page, other users on Facebook can like that page. Company can display longer messages and information. They can also share latest news regarding the launch of new products or event. They can put videos, photos and messages related to the products.

YouTube is again a good way to promote the products. YouTube videos are a good way to give information regarding the product. Videos can be used for giving instruction on how to use the product. Consumers can search the product through YouTube and get information. Companies can place YouTube links on their website to promote their products and vice-versa to connect the viewer to the online stores. One can share these videos on Facebook as well.

LinkedIn is one of the popular websites for networking. The first step you have to take is to make your LinkedIn profile. After making your profile you just need to connect to other individuals and companies. It is also effective as one can make many connections by using LinkedIn. You can give information regarding business opportunities and latest news. People will know your company and its products.

Blogging is a latest but effective technique to communicate with consumers and other people. Blogs are the places where one can share photos, videos, long messages and other information related to your product. Other users can follow you on bloggers. This will increase your network and will be more beneficial for you and your company.

Don’t get confuse in between social media marketing and advertising because the basic purpose of social media marketing is the same as of advertising. Before doing social media marketing one should do all the research work in advance. All products and services might not get positive response through social media marketing. It depends on the need, type and target audience of the product and services.

Re: Kevin needs "social glue" ideas - Hi, I like the idea of "10 items that could act as "social glue" because I am an internet marketer. But I agree with the rest that the 10 recent post is nice. Maybe we should open up a new section in the forums on Social Media...or Social Media Marketing. I will tell you that the world is about 1 1/2 behind when it comes to understanding social media. Building a section now will put EvanCarmichael.com is a great position a year down the road when people realize Social Media can produce more traffic than SEO. Jeff

Jeff[/quote:gvtxsu7g] Hi Jeff, Thanks for the suggestion. Why don't you start a new post (with a poll) to see if there's enough interest in your idea for a social media section?
Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f - Hi, Online Marketing would be a great title, and having sub categories would make it even better, there would plenty of categories to choose from, Social Media, SEO, Article Marketing and yes even Affiliate Marketing to name just a few, great looking site btw Jeff, take care, Carol
Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f - Just as an update, Evan has extended the poll's expiration date and says he'd like to see at least 25 "yes" votes before implementing the new category. Moreover, it would probably be called "Online Marketing" instead of Social Media Marketing".
Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Everyone, 2009 is a new year and I'd like to create a new forum category to jazz things up! In the past, there's been some interest voiced about adding a "Social Media Marketing", "Online Marketing", "Internet Marketing" or "Online Promotion" category. I'll implement [u:1g2tv6tf]ONE[/u:1g2tv6tf] of those new categories, but can someone first tell me what the difference would be between the existing "Marketing" section and one of those new options mentioned above? Thanks
