Using Social Media Networks

Using Social Media Networks For Internet Marketing Purposes

Using Social Media Networks Why? They have sprung up on the Internet over the past few years and have enjoyed enormous success.

Many of the Social Media Networks such as Twitter and Facebook, have been used to great effect as marketing tools for a wide range of companies, businesses, artists, and more.

Each of the Social Media Networks offers their own benefits and differences. While Facebook is used to create network links between individuals it can also be used as a great advertising tool to promote any and all products and services.

Once you have registered as a Facebook user you can create pages with a specific business target market. Facebook gives you the option of paying a monthly fee which ensures that a particular page is attached as an advert on to the home screen of global/regional users.

Entering specific keywords in the title of the page makes searches easier while being a user in a particular part of the world ensures that people in your immediate location receive the main search results.

Creating a particular page allows you to status update as the corporation/business which you are promoting.  With time and self-promotion more users on Facebook will like a particular page.  It is not easy in the beginning and sometimes there is little interest from users depending on the product or services advertised.

Using social media networks such as Facebook for business can prove beneficial but it can also lead to stagnation if the page is not regularly updated or too much spam is sent out.

Here below you’ll find a screen-shot of how I am using social media networks like Facebook.

Using social media networks : Twitter

Twitter has proven more efficient in this regard.  The main difference is that Twitter does not have the long steps of creating a page for business purposes as Facebook.  When registering on Twitter all that you need is a picture, a short biography of the user/business and a call sign. Once that is done you can post pictures and short status updates which should be 140 characters or less.

The biggest difference between using social media networks like facebook and Twitter is that on Facebook you can add many friends but you will not necessarily reach all of them.  On Twitter however, you can follow or unfollow other businesses or companies, and they can in turn follow or unfollow you.

The biggest benefit of this is that if people are interested in your services or products they can follow you.  This way, users only see what they are interested in and there is no unnecessary event spam such as on Facebook.  Users also have the option of suggesting to others to follow other users.  The main benefit of Twitter is that it focuses exclusively on status updates as opposed to entire fan pages like on Facebook.

Apart from these big social media networks like Twitter and Facebook, there are hundreds if not thousands of smaller social media networks you can use for your Internet Marketing purposes.

I would like to point out two of them in particular.

However they are completely different, they both have some unique features for marketing purposes.

The first one I would like to inform you on is a new social media network called Chiliwire. This network has a great potential of going global as it will be available in multiple languages shortly(currently it is available in English and Dutch). On this network you can place adds, blogposts, videos etc all for free.

There is also a great partner program attached to this network. Which gives you a chance to earn money just by being a member on chiliwire an invite other members to your own network.

The second one is the fastest growing social media network at the moment which is called Pinterest.

According to many of my fellow Internet Marketers this will be the next big network you’ll have to join when you’re using social media networks for internet marketing purposes.

The growth of this network has been exceptionally in the last 6 months. Nowadays more ten 10 million people are using Pinterest monthly and the numbers are growing day by day. Although it is currently mostly used by women. There are some great opportunities to benefit from the use of this network to drive visitors to your website, product(s) or even directly to your affiliate offers.

I have written an article about Pinterest you can read it here: Pinterest explode your site traffic

Using social media networks can prove extremely beneficial for marketing and advertising.  At the same time the user needs to promote their product with care as not everyone is interested in business activities.  It remains up to the user to think of innovative ways to maintain the interest of other users.

Using social media networks has proven to add great value to my personal Internet marketing efforts. And I am sure when you’re using social media networks the right way it will be beneficial for you as well.

All the best with using social media networks and let’s get connected
