Making Money with Social Media Marketing

By Lauren N. Peragine


Nowadays most businesses have a presence on the Internet with a Website; however they often lack a Social Media presence. Currently the most popular sites are Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Merely creating an account or even accounts isn't sufficient to help your company. To obtain the most benefit you also need to integrate yourself into the website and its users via networking.

Facebook users create Fan Pages which allows some other users rate your own page if they think it is useful. A Fan Page needs to be promoted for visitors to be pushed to your website. To help this you need to display a Facebook Fan Page on your website.

Conversely you can't expect the Facebook page alone to get traffic to your website. Try offering something totally free as an e-book that can be downloaded, thus building your popularity at the same time remembering to be practical about your brand. Other things you could offer could be a video or PowerPoint slide presentation extolling the benefits of your service or product.

Twitter is also excellent because it does not require a great deal of time and effort. Everyday sent out a short sentence with a hyperlink. This is called a tweet. Develop a Twitter account and gain followers simply by "following" others. Don't think that having far more followers may always make you successful. Your followers should share exactly the same interests. For example; if you are advertising fishing equipment snowboarders may not be interested in your offers.

LinkedIn is much more about networking and never about gaining clients. Here you work on your profile and also standing out as a leader in the area. Try to appear lively and also be passionate about what you do.

Being present on these 3 sites is actually of the very most significance when starting your Social Media campaign. Keep quality content on these three sites and also providing pertinent info for ones readers brings rewards. Simply joining numerous sites will often diminish your ability to satisfy your potential customers with what they expect from you. Your ultimate goal is to present oneself as well as your business, particularly if it is a for profit business, in the best possible light for making funds. After all the reason for doing all of this is to get money.

Keep in mind that social media is a means of maintaining a good relationship with your own current customers while at the same time reaching new and potential customers. This lets you go way beyond the number of people you could reach just by having a web site as your only presence on the World Wide Web.

Social media today allows your own brand to be advertised in various nations and various languages. This also enables you to attract targeted prospects according to their gender, age group, interest and location among other segments of society.
