Social media is with us to stay and you will want to know how you can start with it.
Well, you're at the right article.
I want to go over the most important channels and explain which ones are used for what kind of promotion.
Let's talk about Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+.
Here is a brief rundown of what kind of promotion you should do on each: Facebook: Everybody is here at the present time and it may take years to move Facebook out of its #1 spot.
Generally speaking, Facebook is at the top of the list of great social media sites.
It lets communications occur.
Facebook also has an excellent advertising tool that allows you to target people by age, geography and what they are interested in.
Overall, use Facebook for general promotion, conversation and advertising opportunities.
LinkedIn: It has just started up and is brand new, but it is beginning to go into public commerce.
Keep an eye on the stock with the symbol LNKD.
It's going to go up.
Companies and their management can really connect with each other on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn has so many benefits that it is hard to list them all.
As with Facebook, the targeted ads do a great job.
You can target CEO's who are connected to different groups who work in companies with 50 - 100 employees.
And that is just the beginning.
Mainly you can see who has been on your profile, but you can also build groups, business pages, and ask/answer questions.
Twitter: What everyone is talking about.
The one that is the easiest to work, the least understood and the one most make fun of.
But did you know that Twitter is actually a great place to get conversions? Though it has a lot of limitations and is a platform quite different from Facebook and LinkedIn yet Twitter has a few features of its own, so why is it so popular? This was the first social network for mobiles.
To a vast number of early follower, this was gold.
Larger or emerging brands advertise on Twitter since it starts at $5,000 per month, which is not a bad investment when you consider its die-hard users and pay attention to the stats.
Google+ Even writing this post and talking about Google+ is a little bit silly with the others being so recognized.
This is our opinion about this post.
It's been almost one month since Google+ got released; in the long run there is a good possibility that it might take over Facebook.
That's all.
