<p><strong>How Social Media Marketing Can Build Your Business</strong></p>
<p>In conversation with other marketers, I am often asked how Social Media Marketing is useful to a website. I realize that not everyone understands how social media marketing (SMM) can affect a websites page rank, traffic, sales (the list could go on).</p>
<p>&#13;Content is an extremely valuable resource to all web users. By putting it to work for your website you can find yourself as the &#8220;Reliable Content Provider&#8221; also known as an &#8220;Authority&#8221; on that topic. You can use social media to give you that authority.</p>
<p>&#13;Recently, I implemented just a few of the social media techniques taught my Social Media Rockstars and promoted my website to top ten Google rankings &#8211; making it an authority site for a keyword related to my business. Here is my example of how social media marketing affects the natural search listing.</p>
<p>&#13;1. First, I had a business website that needed more traffic (what website couldn&#8217;t use more traffic). This is already a successful website for a few other keywords, but I wanted to spread the valuable content provided with this website.</p>
<p>&#13;2. I then researched a high traffic, low competition keyword that was related to my business website. You only want traffic that is looking or searching for what you can provide them. I do not want to falsely advertise with irrelevant content otherwise all my efforts with social media marketing would be a waste.</p>
<p>&#13;3. Next, I researched my market to find out what they were looking for and how I could best provide valuable content to the web searchers looking up that keyword.</p>
<p>&#13;4. Then I created multiple forms of content &#8211; content is information provided to a website searcher; this can be text, video, or audio. *Remember that relevant content is what you want to create.*</p>
<p>&#13;The content was broken down into one short video and 12 articles. 3 of the articles were 1000 words, and the remaining nine articles ranged from 300-500 words. Note: be sure that this content is in someway relating back to the main site that you wanted to increase traffic, sales, or reputation. Whatever your purpose, be sure that this content is helping.</p>
<p>&#13;5. Now you need to spread the content across the different social media sites. I added the larger articles to the more popular social media sites.</p>
<p>&#13;Of course the video went to you tube. And for the social media sites that allowed me to share a video along with my content I added the video to it.</p>
<p>&#13;These 12 articles and one video spread across 13 sites drove traffic back to my businesses website. The key here is to post your content on a site that has a high page rank. This will tell the search engines that the content is coming from a reliable and valuable source. In return, those high ranking sites give your site higher rankings (or a more trusted reputation) because it&#8217;s being promoted by a high ranking website. (Sort of like the popular high school student introducing the new kid &#8211; you start off on a higher social status).</p>
<p>&#13;Don&#8217;t stop there! With social media marketing you need to share the content. You can so this by using social bookmarking sites, posting the information to a blog and sharing the article links in a forum. People are always looking for free information. Share your free information with everyone you can. If it&#8217;s valuable and relevant to the web users you shared it with they will also bookmark it on social bookmark sites creating viral traffic.</p>
<p>&#13;Now if, you remember form the beginning my main purpose was to increase traffic to an already published website. I now have 12 articles, loads of social bookmarks, and a video linking back to my website. If I did my social media marketing correctly this will definitely increase the traffic coming to my business website.</p>
<p>&#13;But that&#8217;s not my only result: because I have all of these popular authority sites sending traffic my way, the search engines now see that I am providing valuable content. In return for providing this content and sharing it through social media marketing tactics I have boosted the listing placement of my original website. Now in the search results for my targeted keyword I have dominated the top 5 pages with articles, social bookmarks, videos, and more importantly my main business website.</p>
<p>&#13;With my recent efforts in social media marketing (with in the last month), I moved my business website from the 21st position in Google to the 8th. On top of that, I hold 14 other positions in the top 30 search results for my targeted keyword. All this and I didn&#8217;t use half of the resources available with social media marketing.</p>

<p><strong>Social Media Marketing Training Helps You Make a Plan For Success</strong></p>
<p>At a <b>social media marketing training</b> session I recently attended, I overheard another attendee talking about the challenges she faced in attempting to tackle social media marketing. The owner of a small, home-based business based in the Toronto area, she was trying to find inexpensive ways to market her business. She had heard about this new way of promoting her company and decided to jump in with both feet. After a few months, she felt completely overwhelmed and decided that she needed training in social media marketing.</p>
<p>&#13;She is likely not alone. The temptation to take advantage of the virtually free marketing opportunities in social media is pretty strong, but without an effective plan, you will find yourself in the same position as that Toronto business owner.</p>
<p><b>Social Media Marketing &#8211; Why So Much Choice Can Be a Bad Thing</b></p>
<p>&#13;There are many kinds of sites that fall under the heading of &#8220;social media.&#8221; These include social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn, social news sites like Digg and Reddit, and social bookmarking sites like Delicious. Social media also includes the &#8220;microblogging&#8221; site, Twitter.</p>
<p>&#13;The key to using social media for marketing is to offer people something of value so they will want to connect and interact with your business. For most businesses, this thing of value is a blog, series of articles, or other content of interest to their core audience.</p>
<p>&#13;Here&#8217;s where it gets tricky, and where our Toronto business owner got tripped up &#8211; deciding which social media sites to use and what kind of content to create.</p>
<p>&#13;When I heard that business owner talk about her challenges, I entered the conversation to see what she had bee trying. Here&#8217;s a summary of what she said:</p>
<p>&#13; She started a blog but after a month or so had run out of things to talk about.<br />&#13; Everytime she posted to her blog, she would add a link to the post on Digg and Delicious.<br />&#13; She had also investigated Reddit and Stumble Upon and set up accounts on both sites but left them pretty much inactive.<br />&#13; She set up a profile on Linked In, at the suggestion of a client, but promptly forgot about it and rarely used it.<br />&#13; She added a personal profile to Facebook but, beyond that, had no idea how to use this profile to promote her business. She eventually found a way to create a business page, which seemed to suit her needs.<br />&#13; She just recently joined Twitter and was having trouble keeping up with it and finding things to say.</p>
<p>&#13;After listening to her, I concluded that the main problem she was having was content-based and I reassured her that the social media marketing training course would help her.</p>
<p>&#13;What she needed was a comprehensive plan to get her started. She needed to focus her efforts on a few sites, and ensure she had content to share. She needed a schedule for her writing and she also needed to learn how to optimize her content to draw the traffic she wanted.</p>
<p>&#13;Fortunately, the social media training course we were both attending covered all of those points and more.</p>
<p>&#13;I spoke to her at the end of the course and she said she felt much better, and much more ready to tackle social media marketing. The training had helped her immensely.</p>
<p>&#13;If you own your own business and you are interested in marketing through social media, I recommend that you start with social media marketing training, so you can avoid wasting months of time and energy like our Toronto business owner did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>3 Most Wanted Tips For Effective Social Media Marketing</strong></p>
<p>Social media marketing is the very effective tool for marketing your products. There is no other alternative marketing strategy for social media marketing. Hence social media marketing is indispensable for any online business. Social media marketing needs a different approach when compared to the other online marketing strategies. For a social media marketing campaign to be successful, it is very much important to understand the tactics that work better. This article is all about the effective social media marketing tips. </p>
<p>1. Creating unique profiles in Social Networks</p>
<p>Social networking sites like myspace and facebook have great importance in business promotion. This part of social media marketing can get lots of traffic to your website along with building credibility among people worldwide. The social networks are now crowded with the online marketers and hence it is important to highlight your profile in the crowd. Though there are lots of customization options available in the social networking sites itself, it is always good to get some professional help for advanced customization. These social media marketing professionals will be able to provide you will very unique profiles which will get noticed by the social media crowd immediately.</p>
<p>2. Don’t try to sell anything in the Social Networks</p>
<p>Many social media marketers just advertise their products through their social media profiles. This is a wrong move. Social networks are for connecting to people and not for advertising the products, Hence your main motive in the social networks should be to connect to as many people as possible. The traffic to your website and the credibility to your services/ products will eventually increase as your networks grow.</p>
<p>3. Don’t leave any social media profiles unattended</p>
<p>Active participation is a basic necessity of any social media marketing campaign. Just creating some profiles in a handful of social media sites doesn’t do any good. You should post some content to the social media profiles frequently and make them look lively. Always remember the fact that Google crawls the profiles that are frequently updated. Moreover, the visitors of your profile will love to see many updates. You should also involve in activities like participating in polls, posting in forums, making comments and connecting with the people of similar interest. </p>
<p>Social Media marketing is a time consuming process and for the moment of truth it is really worth the time you spend. If you don’t have enough time for social media marketing in your tight schedule, there are professional social media marketers who are ready to help you. To the added advantage, these professional social media marketers can analyze your website and create the best marketing strategy. By paying them a nominal fee, you can just sit back and relax, watching your network grow along with the web traffic and business.</p>
