GuavaWorks Website Designs

Ever since the beginning of SFWebDesigns.net, social media marketing played a huge role. We have learned so much in the past few years about how to really connect everything and anything online. But why

There are many blog posts out there talking about the reasons for social media marketing, but I still get customers who are still unsure about it, because they think it is so hard. Social Media Marketing can go hand in hand with SEO. It is THAT easy.

Let us take this very blog post as an example. When I hit the bright blue “Publish” button, my blog posts will get tweeted automatically with “New Website Design Post ” and a nice bit.ly short url to my blog post. Simultaneously, it will send a ping to Facebook,  my profile will be updated with a new link and our fan page will have a new status and a new link. All while me not doing anything. Simple.

But why blog post in the beginning, and what else can you do.

Good questions, blog posting like this helps with A- helping people understand many issues going on, if even 1 person reads this, I will be happy.
So what else can I do.. hmm.. Well that is easy, there is no point in posting to twitter and facebook if no one will see it. I spend about 20-30 minutes every day, or something a hour every OTHER day, trying to find new fans. I invite fans to be a part of my facebook fan page, and I ask people to follow me on twitter. These are some of the easiest things you can do. Find people with like-minds, and you are destined to find people who will want to be your fan, or follow you.

While I am doing these searches for new fans  and followers, I make sure to get out there with the ones I have. Retweet some interesting tweets, comment on someone’s wall post, send out some messages even just thanking people for being a part of my community.

So what have we learned, we have learned that in 1 blog post, you can inform your whole social media community about what you wrote about. You also learned that with only a couple hours a week, you can grow your social media community.

I guess this wouldn’t be a relevant post to anything if I didn’t explain why you SHOULD do all of this.

As someone who has been in SEO for many years now, I am telling you now, that SEO wise…. your time is better spent elsewhere, HOWEVER if you are selling anything, as most businesses are (isn’t that the definition of business.. lol), you want people to know who you are. How will people know who you are without good marketing. Social Media marketing is FREE, no paid yellow page ad, no PPC, just some time every week and you can build a community of people who know who you are. Who are up to date with your offerings, your sales, what is going in within your company. As far as return on investment, you got to ask yourself… why not do social media marketing.
