In the last couple of years social marketing has become so common that even a child would feel left behind if he wasn’t a part of some online social media. Most working people or students spend a large part of their day on the internet. For this reason, social marketing can be naturally integrated in each person’s daily lives in a way that is non-intrusive and thereby acceptable to many.

The internet has become an indispensable part of life as everyone would agree. Human beings have the ability to interact closely with around 150 people, with whom one can have strong personal relationships. This is why you are seeing such growth in Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and LinkedIn.

The main aim of this kind of marketing is to achieve ’social good’ as well as some commercial or monetary gains that will help in reaching certain goals. It can turn out to be a great asset only if used in the right manner, whether used in business or personal lives.

Through social media marketing, businesses are able to gain popularity over the internet. This is by using different social media like blogs, video and photo sharing sites, as well as social bookmarking sites. If you want to know how it can benefit a social marketing campaign, here are some reasons.

1. It can be used for better targeting. Social media marketing can attract a targeted segment of internet users who would be interested in what you have to offer. You can easily achieve this through your website. By using various parameters and tools you can increase the visibility of your content online, be it on a national or international level. This helps a small business not only by getting a wider audience but also by bringing a select local clientele.

2. Getting a high return. Since social marketing is cheap, this makes it suitable for a start up. After using all the networking tools, one gets all the necessary and good publicity for free. This free social marketing creates a high rate of return.

3. No specialization or technical skill required. You can use this type of marketing even while sitting at home. It does not require that you sit in a well quipped office or learn a coded language. Most social networking sites are visual in nature, this way practically anyone who can use internet, can use social networking tools as well.

4. It is a lot better than ad campaigns. Most internet users are faced with a bombardment of advertisements and they usually do not even click on them. Banners and links are losing their purpose because of a lack of trust on online advertising. In social marketing, you give it a personal touch and attract more potential customers.

5. More Visibility. Social marketing, just like blogging, helps you to spread information in an interesting way. This information which should be related to your website helps in your site’s popularity and awareness about it. Of course, one need to constantly create new content that people are really interested in, and you will have no problem in drawing huge number of viewers. Often these articles can go viral and hundreds of thousands could see your message. This viral social marketing can explode your campaign almost overnight.

Nowadays, the aim of all businesses, big or small is to increase their audience. That is why social marketing works and helps in this respect. It can be called an online version of word of mouth publicity. Channelizing social marketing in the right way will result in more customers, more sales, and a prominent online presence.

Affiliate marketing can be a lucrative and effective way to earn money while marketing online. There are many affiliate programs out there and all you need to do is make sure you have yours ads for the right products and services in font of the right target market for a large enough number of views and you will make commissions. Those are the three ingredients. How you do that can really vary but a good technique I have found is article marketing.

An article can be written about almost any subject. All you need to do is some research on what are good keywords for you target market and then write an article about those key words. You do not need to be an expert you just need to know someone who is or do a little research and lean about the subject related to the key words. When you are writing your article you want to strategically place links within the article that will go back to your affiliate sites to that if someone were to click on them and make a purchase you would get your commission.

Once you have created your article you will want to get it published to as many sites as possible so that you are getting your links in from of a large number of people that are of the right market so that you may obtain a sale that leads to a commission. One of the best tools I have found to do this is the Unique Article Wizard. This tool will enable you to publish your article to as many as 10,000 sites. By having links back to your blog where there are more articles you can also increase your back links which will cause the search engines to select your articles when searches for the keywords you used in writing you article. It is this kind of SEO organic traffic that can make your readers and consequently commissions rise.

One other thing I recommend is that you also create a video about your article and put it on YouTube using the same keywords that you had in your article. Since the Unique Article Wizard allows you to publish videos with you article you can reference your YouTube video in the article which gives thousands and thousands of links to that video from all of the sites the article will be published. This will cause the video to get organic search traffic on YouTube which is the fourth most visited site in the world. If you have a link in your video back to your blog you will create even more traffic to you blog which will generate even more traffic. It is this kinds of circular links that will put you on the first page of Google.

With all this traffic you are increasing your odds of making affiliate commissions. Also these articles never go away so as you write more and more articles you will continue to increase your traffic and continue to increase your commissions. This is the kind of vicious cycle that you want to create.

In summary the Unique Article Wizard can be a real money maker for you and at the same time you can market other affiliate products using this tool and explode your commissions all the way to the bank.

Twitter is a free social networking site. It enables its users to do micro-blogging wherein users can send and read messages known as “tweets” from other users. Tweets are posts which can be displayed on the author’s profile page and are visible to the author’s subscribers who are the termed as followers. That is why the thought of having a big number of followers is good for it means many will be aware of the service and or product that someone is promoting through tweets. Thus, Twitter is considered to be a good tool when it comes to social media marketing.

On the other hand, it is a fact that simply having high number of follower on Twitter doesn’t matter on one’s business. So why is twitter considered to be a good tool to be used in marketing? Well, it is considered to be a good tool if you have high followers and these followers are people who are in line or have interest to the service or product you are promoting. Yes, your followers have to be your target market. You can have a lot of followers but if they are untargeted, they do not matter at all.

So what is the best way to find targeted people on Twitter? You can simply look at your competitors profile and see the way they market. After that, look at the people who are on their followers. What is the significance? Well, if those people are following that particular person who is in the same market as you, chances are they are the target people you are looking for. So, the next thing you have to do is to follow them.

At this point, I assume you already got the logic of what I had explained above. And for you to know more of the step by step process to build your Twitter follower count, read on.

1. Create your profile. It has to be a professional one.
2. Know the people who are in the same market as you or in other words your competitors.
3. Visit the profile of that particular person who is in the same market as you.
4. Click on his followers. After a couple of days, you will notice that the people you follow from his account are also following you.
5. Next thing to do is to unfollow people who do not follow you back. This is for you to follow more potential people who will follow you back.
6. Remember to post tweets that would capture your followers’ interest.
7. And if time comes that you already established your profile, it is now time for you to promote your business and link back your followers to your desire page.
8. Then, just repeat the routine and remember to be constant in attending your Twitter account for you not to be forgotten.

The steps are just simple to understand. So if you are able to master it, then it is no wonder that you’ll be getting a large number of followers who are also your target people. Isn’t it a good thing? And again, be constant when it comes to managing your account.

So what exactly is Social Media Marketing? Well think about this, FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn – these are all social media channels. If you are a marketer and would put up business establishment in an area, the first thing you do is you forecast the number of people passing by. Most of these business establishments being built have forecast volumes of people coming in and out of the place that’s why Malls or other business centers have it built in a location which are studied based on public concentration. Remember business individuals, partners or corp. usually built their stores or establishments where there is great volume of people in a local area. Well, this will give you somewhat similar idea for business marketers using the strategy of social media marketing. Basically, Social media marketing is a process where you advertise to promote your products, services, and other forms of business using social media channels that will give you links, attention and volumes of net traffic. The easiest and fastest way to introduce your business and target huge amount of market are sites where there are great concentration of people either usually online or visitors in the internet.

If you are selling products/services or just publishing content for ad revenue, social media marketing is a potent method that will make your site profitable over time.

Primarily, promotion of your brand, name, sites and other forms of products will make huge flows on links and websites which users would convey information spontaneously spreading your messages effectively than the traditional form of promotional methods.

Social media marketing has a low budget cost and often times doesn’t require any at all. If done by you, costs are limited to only time and perhaps the expenses involved in hiring a freelance programmer or designer. The benefits will often exceed the cost. A single advertisement can make companies spent huge amount of money but in social media marketing you’ll benefit of gaining more! It would take you thousands of dollars to buy many links while social media has the ability to give you that for free. You’ll gain tons of recommendation! A successful Social Media Marketing campaign leads you to lots of recommendation coming from groups of initiators and influencers you have reached, who then play a vital role in the buying process. With the information passed through volumes of people in Social media marketing, responses can be achieved instantly where you can radically monitor and follow up interested members by providing them with sites where they could reach you or ask you further about the business or products. This may result to numerous potential leads not just in one area but globally.

Those who are not aware of the effectiveness of social media usually miss all the profitable impact it can give in the business. They are classified as people who don’t know much or anything about social media, who are interested but don’t know how to use it and who don’t believe in the value of a social media strategy can bring to any site or business. The more supporters, audience or viewers you have, the faster word spreads about your site or business. Social media marketing is an excellent way to get volumes of people to come into your site to take a look at what you have to offer. You will grow when there are a group of loyal visitors and consumers ready to always act upon what you have to offer.

I recently talked with a friend of mine that has been able to achieve over 70 leads a day for free in his online marketing business. Can you imagine what that would do to your business if you could do that. Now I am not talking about a team a people that is doing this. I am talking about one guy. He also has been doing article marketing, which by the way, is absolutely free. And get this, he has only been doing this for two months.

This guy has really learned some secrets of how to market using articles. If you have not heard of him, his name is Dave Wood and he has been hitting it out of park lately. He did a few webinars over the last two weeks where he shared some of his techniques and I wanted to tell you about them.

First, you write articles that are interesting and that people would link to hear about. How do you do that if you have little experience. Well, since David was in this position he chose to interview some people that did have the expertise and thereby giving his articles creditability. Do you think you could do that? How about you attend a webinar where you learn something interesting from someone who has had success in the industry and you write an article about that. The point is you do not need to be an expert. You just need to listen to one and then write an article that others will want to read.

Second, you must know how to market the article. In order to get others to ready your article you must get it in as many web sites as you can as well as get the search engines to promote your article. This can be done by posting your article to all the free article sites you can find on the Internet that have back links to the original article. When the search engines see that your article has so many other sites pointing back to it, that gives it creditability and the search engine will rank your article higher for the key words you have used. Now posting the article on hundreds of sites can be very time consuming unless you have an automated tool to do it. There are several tools out there and I will share with you later the one that Dave and I use. With this tool you can post your article to over 200 sites in a matter of minutes.

Third and the most important part of getting traffic to your web site using articles it to be consistent. You must write articles regularly so that people will trust you. The more you do it and the longer your do it with good articles you will gain more and more creditability. They can’t just be articles, they have to be articles with good content. In order to do that you will need to attend webinars, read books, listen to CD’s and grow yourself and your knowledge about your market. Eventually you will be able to write your own content from your knowledge. Since this is an industry that continues to change you will need to continue to learn and grow so you can create new and fresh content. This is never ending processes although it will get easier the more and more you know and can add your own in sites to what you are learning each day.

Please let me know what you think about this content. I welcome all comments. I hope that it helps you to be able to attain what you want out of your business.

It has been a while since I have talked about Twitter but when I recently went over 70,000 followers I thought it was time to talk about it once again. Several months ago I created training videos of how I built my Twitter engine and put them on my blog. Over time many have asked how I do it and I tell them I am still doing it the same way I documented on my blog and I am here telling you again that I am doing it the same way. I am adding about 1,000 followers a day now. A little less during the week and more on the weekends.

Having followers is great but it does not mean much unless you can monetize the traffic. That is the real key. I do this in a number of ways. One is that I send traffic to some of my affiliate links but not many, most of the value comes from when people opt in to my list and I have an opportunity to establish a longer relationship with them. I have to say often it is a one way conversation because people do not leave their phone number but that does not mean a relationship is not being formed. As an example I will tell you about a conference I was at in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. I had three people come up to me and say Hi Bob, I have been following you on Twitter and seen your video’s. I did not know any of these people but they knew me and they wanted to let me know. A relationship is formed even if it is one way. This is what you call Attraction Marketing.

Make sure that when you use Twitter you add value more than you send someone to your web page or affiliate link. That is how you build a large following. Keep this in mind and be consistent and you can build one too.

P.S. I am giving away my secret of how I build my automated Twitter Engine. You can get it here.  Bobs Twitter Secrests

With all the issues that Twitter has had over the last few days I am sure glad I use MLMLeadSystemPro as my marketing system.

This system has a blueprint that teaches you to market in a number of different ways so you do not have all your eggs in on basket. I get leads from my blog, from FaceBook, from MySpace, from Ezine articles, from email campaigns, from Pay-per-click and more. Are you doing that? Do you know how to do all these types of marketing to drive traffic to your web site. Well, if you don’t then you need to see this system created by three of the up and coming minds of internet marketing, Norbert Orlewicz, Brian Fanale and Todd Schlomer.

This system build on the principles of Mike Dillard’s, Traffic Formula, is the hottest marketing system on the Internet. You don’t need to believe me but if I were you I would think twice about giving it a two-week test drive for $1. If you don’t your are being penny wise and pound foolish. Why wouldn’t you want to see a system for $1 that is making many people 5-figure incomes per month. Your call. Just opt-in to the form in the upper right hand corner or Click Here.

Blogging is becoming a more and more popular way to allow people to get to know you online. The blog for the network marketer has turned from just a place where you put your thoughts to your primary web page that sells YOU. It is often called a Central Hub because it is the single point that ties all the social sites and marketing sites together. If you are using the blog correctly, you will have an optin form on your home page. This can not be done unless you have your own blog or commonly known as a self  hosted blog.

Additionally you want the flexibility to do anything on your site because it is your home page. When using a service, every time they make a change or upgrade you have to change at the same time and that sometimes breaks things that you have previously setup.

Also with a self hosted blog you can make backup copies to your local system so if something happens to the server you can restore from the copy. Now this is a rare event but more commonly is you make major changes to your site and you want to make a copy of it before you start so if something goes wrong you can always go back.

There are other reasons but these are the top 3. The most important being to be able to have the optin form on your page. I get several leads a week from my blog and more importantly these are good leads because they have already gotten to know me and realize the value I can offer. They are also FREE.

Until next time

Bob
