Social networks

Social networks are one of the most cost-effective marketing/advertising mediums in today’s business environment. But like any other business tool, you have to know what your goals are – and you need to learn the system to create targeted results. Do you want 1,000 tire kickers or 3 people who want what you have and can and will pay for it?

Here are some tips regarding your marketing adventure in Social Space…

Join networks that can help you achieve your goal
Have you defined your niche market and found networks that have like-minded users?

Learn how your chosen networks work
Do you use a direct pitch – or comment and embed a link to your site/blog?

Choose your contacts and groups well – and don’t shotgun
If you sell widgets, do you need to network with someone who is in real estate development?

Stay on point
If your message is all over the place, what type of responses do you expect to get?

Avoid time drain
Do you want to spend 8 hours a day with no results or a couple of hours a day that land you follow-up phone calls or referrals?

Finally – get it right the first time
Once you post something on the Net, do you really think you can take it back?

Do yourself – and other network users a favor – and think about the above before you take the Social plunge. Once you do – have fun and good luck!
