Many of you know that I LOVE Social Media. I think it is a great way to communicate your message with a large audience and it's fairly easy to manage.
One of the reasons that I love it so much is that it allows future clients (hopefully) to get to know you without it being too "formal." They can ask you a question or even just observe how you respond to other's questions and feel like they "know" you, trust you and eventually that you are the "expert" they have been looking for. We all like to do business with those we like, know and trust and Social Media allows us to do this in a "safe" way without feeling pressure to buy or use a service until we are ready.
I am surprised that more individuals aren't using this medium to promote their business, service or product. In my opinion, it needs to be a LARGE part of a marketing plan if you are hoping to be successful in whatever you set out to do.
There are a multitude of helpful individuals, pages and businesses that can make it easy to get started. One that I have used and that I would highly recommend is Your Business Needs Fans. You can find them online at http://www.yourbusinessneedsfans.com/. Yes, I am honored to be an Affiliate for them but I was recommending them LONG before that relationship came about. Another person I like to follow who gives some great advice on how to communicate with your fans (something near and dear to my heart) is Mari Smith. You can find her blog here http://www.marismith.com/mari-smith-blog/.
