Social media promotion is definitely an easy thing to do and well worth the time. Hard to do with limited resources though. Good luck to all!
If we use Social Media Marketing and get it right the posibilities are endless however as Aswani mentioned sometimes we get it wrong but never under estimate its power.
Nice post. The power the social media possess is phenomenal. Say it twitter or facebook, it has made it all look so easy and convenient to have your work get proper exposure among masses online. Yet the otherwise is also true. It works great for some while some are still hopeless. For me, it is all about networking. If you do have a strong network of people on these social sites, you are most likely to make the most of social media. Honestly, apart from facebook and twitter…I don’t find any other social media site as effective as these. Also to add to it, the same goes with social bookmarking sites too. Leaving digg, stumbleupon and reddit…do you find any other in the list ??
Thanks Aswani You mentioned the most important Social Media sites there is no doubt that faceBook and twitter are the main ones as for social Networking websites again your list is correct. Thanks for your input my friend.
Thanks so much for the great information. I always love to read more about social media and marketing.

Social Media plays an important role in pulling your business on top. It is indeed a great opportunity for business owners to register on social networking sites however, some business owners tend to abuse it.
Social Media Marketing is what i believe might become the mainstream marketing tool in the future unless something else comes on board.
Facebook Advertising not only gives you and your business wonderful results, but with it, you can only advertise to people who are interested and willing to buy your products. Thus, you can target the gender, age, and location of your clients or customers.

I am spending most of my time increasing my Twitter followers. I spend hours a day on it, and it’s worth it.
Content is indeed king. We regularly update our blogs on our website and send our Facebook and Twitter base to it. Our traffic increase has gone up and bounce rates have plummeted to between 1-3%
Social media is undeniably a great place to build relationships with your customers and prospect clients. It brings you closer to your target audience and it is a great platform to communicate and share information, updates and developments about your company.
Love the article! In your opinion, how do you think Social Media Marketing has affected your business or especially this article? I am always interested in options on how social media marketing is used or affected by what you write online. What are your thoughts?
Social Media Marketing is really effective when it comes to generating leads and increasing site traffic. Nowadays, the most popular sites are Google +, Facebook and twitter. In order for this to work, you need to attract real person to follow you by writing eye catching wall post and you need to interact with them by responding to their comments.
Social Marketing one of the best way to getting some targeted visitors into site
Great article! I definitely agree with what you say; content is king, and the use of social media like Facebook and Twitter can help get you “out there” so to speak, especially if you have a lot of followers on those sites.
content is always the best way to get quality web traffic rankings and results, my website http://www.uswebtraffic.com is a content driven traffic and i get about 20 hits per day via google seach engine on my website which is producing excellent results from business prospect. So i think spending money on building a content driven website is a better deal than doing paid advertising.
