Watch Your Profits Grow Through Social Media
Did you know that the use of social media alone can increase the profits for any kind of business by a staggering amount? Social media advertising is free so it won't cost you a cent.
Whether you have a stationary business or an online business, the use of social media can increase your business tremendously.
It will also bring traffic to you website.
Lets look at a couple of different websites and what they can do for you.
Facebook - Facebook has over 500 million active members and half of them log in on a daily basis and usually stay logged in for at least 20 minutes or more.
You accept "friends" on Facebook and they will be the friends that will see what you post depending on how you set your privacy settings.
You can also set your settings to allow "friends of friends" to see your posts.
You can go into your profile and write articles under "notes" where you can let your friends know about your business.
You can also set up a "fan page" or "group" which is another way to increase traffic to your website or increase business.
Facebook is easy to use and to set up.
Twitter - Another growing website is Twitter.
People get on Twitter to Tweet their comments and it has grown over 600% in the past 12 months with over 5 to 10 thousand new accounts being added per day.
Twitter is a little more difficult to learn.
Blogging - There are several sources on the net to help you get started with blogging.
You can join a blog or you can start one yourself.
Depending on the blog site you can leave comments or post articles.
On some blog sites you can post a banner ad or link up to your website.
You will probably have to pay a fee to do that but it can bring you a lot of traffic but blogging can be done successfully without costing anything.
Blogging is another source of letting others know about your business.
YouTube - Posting video's that you make yourself is an excellent source for advertising your business.
A 2 minute video on various topic's is all you need and is very simple to do.
