Social media marketing

What is Social media marketing

and how can it add 10 reps per

month to your business.

Social media marketing is exactly what it sounds like. It is

the art of marketing on social media sites such as Face

Book, Twitter, MySpace and Linked In. These are sites

where millions and millions of people go to socialize. Now

this can be very profitable if it is done correctly. One

thing to remember is that for the most part, people are

there to socialize, not be marketed to. They are there to

meet old friends and make new ones.

So now you say how is this such a great thing? People

don’t go to the grocery store to date either, but I’m sure

that more than one person has found a date there,

if they did it the right way. In this case there are so

many more choices. The best way that I have heard it

put is that social media marketing is sort of like online

dating. You would not approach that person in the grocery

store or on a website site, give you’re your url, tell them

to go and look at it and get back to you if they want to

get married would? WOULD YOU??!! I sincerely hope not,

because you would not get very far.

You would get turned down a whole lot and probably even

get slapped a few times. Then you would go away telling

everyone that you can not find a date in the grocery store.

We all know that is not true. The problem was not that

you can’t find a date in a grocery store, the problem

was your approach.

Each one of the sites listed and hundreds of others are

different, so the approach would be different depending

on which site you were on. I find that Face Book tends

to have a younger crowd and a lot of them are technically

savvy already. The linked in crowd tends to be older and

more accomplished, so again the approach would be

different for each. The bottom line for all of them is to

take it slow. Introduce yourself, find some common

interests and then build a relationship before your

bombard someone with a proposal to join your business.
