Gain Customers Using Social Media
“Build it and they will come” the saying goes.
Not.
You can build a blog or video site and you can still be lacking connections.
Connection is the nuclear core of social media. But you must make an effort in order for that to happen.
Whether you have a social media home business, traditional brick and mortar business, or an online business, you must get into the social trenches and connect and converse. It is that simple and that plain.
It is all about connecting and creating a magnetic conversation with people that draws them towards you.
Tweeting without Twitter
By: John Templeton
While the online press might see things differently, Twitter certainly is not the only micro messaging service out there. While micro blogging has certainly come into the mainstream recently, it is not even a modern phenomenon. From short form blogs to instant messaging, the short and punchy promotional message has been a staple of advertising since, well, since the beginning.
Reasons for a Web Presence
Saying that the Web is complicated is like saying that football is aggressive. Web trends come and go, with success stories and disasters wrestling for attention in the public eye. Sometimes people get it, and you have an amazing case like the advent of Twitter. Others miss the point spectacularly, such as CNN’s short-lived series where newscasters read excerpts from blogs.
With so much coming so quickly, it’s no surprise that some people are hesitant to expand their business into the online marketplace. It’s intimidating, and the penalties for failure can be harsh.
However, here are six good reasons that every business can and should establish a Web presence.
Exploring the Twitterverse
For anyone who spends any time whatsoever watching television or browsing the internet, it’s virtually impossible to avoid the almost universal growth of Twitter, both as a platform for social media and also a vital component to online marketing strategy. While businesses of all shapes and sizes are turning to Twitter with impressive results, understandably many small business owners either don’t understand how it works, or don’t feel there are any benefits to be had in their business.
The truth of the matter is – any business of any size and style can benefit from using Twitter. Twitter isn’t just for the tech savvy, tech progressive business – any organization across any sector from small local businesses right up to major multinational companies can put Twitter to work for them to drive traffic, create a buzz and ultimately increase sales.

Experts exist for a reason. For example, there are many tasks the average car owner can perform on their own with a little practice; they maybe can change the oil, replace brake pads, tune a few elements. But in many cases it’s far more efficient and effective to let an expert dig into the heart of the machine to make it really purr.
Marketing has its own experts, for every conceivable aspect. Entire businesses are founded on the effort to market a product to a client, and there are people who are very, very good at what they do. Almost as soon as there was radio, there were commercials. Television followed suit, and advertising on the Web has begun to follow the same trend.
