Social Media and Social Media Marketing hase gainded center stage so to speak in the world
of online marketing over the past few years because of the popular concept of Web 2.0 sites
such as Bloghology, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Digg, etc.
The impact that this social has and it’s popularity are relevant to marketing professionals
for several reasons:
- users can generate their own content
- form networks of friends
- make new connections with like minded people
- create and share videos
- and distribute or share all of the above content in a niche or community based atmosphere
that wants to recive it
- plus so much more.
On sites like Bloghology, MySpace and Facebook users can create their own profile pages,
custom text, pictures, and videos etc. to create their own pages. They can then share this
content with other contacts, friends, family members and anyone else in their social network.
On sites like StumbleUpon, Digg, YouTube, and Flickr users can submit a summary of news articles,
pictures, and videos and then vote on the contents that was submitted by others. Popular content
is featured on the homepage of those sites and it in turn drives large amounts of traffic to
the related website that submitted it.
Using social media sites to promote your content, product or service is called social media
marketing. There are two types of traffic you get when your content becomes popular in a
social media or web 2.0 site.
The immediate and long term or residual traffic that you get as a benefit of your content
is what makes social media marketing such a huge leveraging point for you and your message.
Some of the results of exposure to you and your brand can be immediate popularity resulting
in large amounts of traffic flooding your blog plus added clients and new contacts which
sets up networking and profits for you plus the added assurance that you are creating
wanted content in cyberspace.
Social media marketing is just one of the low-cost/no-cost methods of making your blog or
website popular however the time invested in exploiting it to your advantage is well worth
it and over time it will distinguish you as a leader and marketing professional in your field.
Always to Your Success,
