social media marketing

This is the first installment of my Social Media Marketing for Business series. This one is on Facebook. Facebook is a good place to start. A lot of business people have been very successful turing Facebook into a contact and revenue generator.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I’ve searched the web for some of the best posts and articles on creating an effective business Facebook page. Here is a list of resources I recommend to get a fast start marketing your products, services or business with Facebook:

Social media marketing for business seems to most of my clients like networking at a rock concert. No one is doing business there.

And nothing could be further from the truth. Sites like MySpace have soured a lot of business people on the idea of social networks being a source of customers, clients or opportunities.

However, I’m finding that with a judicious use of time, keeping the “social” aspect in check, and keeping the pages professional and “business only,” you can get a lot of business through these sites.

Just thought I’d put out an announcement that I’ve added a Social Network & Social Media Web Site Marketing Service to my stable of products and services.

When I sent out my last newsletter with a huge article on Social Networking for business marketing, I got an awfully big response. And most of the response was, “Yeah, Bob, that’s great. I’d love to put up all these social network media pages but who has the time?”
