It is important to note that social media marketing is not the end all digital solution, it is merely a component of your internet marketing process. As of today, it has become an integrated part every businesses internet marketing campaigns. So what specifically is social media you ask? Social media is a form of web application that allow users to not just network but also dialogue with each other and share ideas, news and even trivial information. To put it simply, it’s a conversation.
This conversation is framed within a few key players in the social media world. Currently the heavy weights are Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, FourSquare, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr and Google+. You probably recognize these sites and may have used some of them. You will notice that these sites come in different formats and their form of communication is unique to themselves. For instance Twitter uses micro-blogging which is limited by 140 characters, while YouTube and Vimeo use video to propel their dialogue.
So why are these sites a useful tool to your business? These sites are useful because they allow you to specifically search your business vertical, product or idea and directly engage in a conversation with other businesses, customers, professionals, naysayers and even people who dislike your product. All of these interactions are useful because they allow your business an opportunity to become an authority in the conversation and that can be used to convert sales, drive traffic, inflate your ego (social media for social media’s sake?) or any other goal you have.
