Social Media Marketing


Recommended Posts

Social media marketing is a way to promote your business on the internet via social networking. This has grown to encompass a very large number of websites and methods.

 

 

The savvy internet marketer is learning how to use this powerful marketing method to grow their business and make valuable contacts for the future.

 

 

 

Of course this also means making more money if you do it right. Let's take a look at 4 ways to use social media marketing to make money online.

 

 

1. Blogging is a very strong way to combine various forms of social media marketing all in one place. If you do not have a blog you are losing ground to your competitors who do.

 

 

2. Social bookmark your blog posts to create traffic from social directories and as search engine bait for search engine traffic.

 

 

Be sure and use a quality blogging platform such as WordPress. They offer a terrific plug-in that makes social bookmarking a blog post very simple.

 

 

Social bookmarking gives you a way to get backlinks to your blog very quickly. You should be bookmarking to social directories such as Technorati, Digg, Stumbleupon, and Propeller.

 

 

Also go get a Twitter account and learn how to make friends and use it to drive traffic to your blog. This is fast becoming one of the top social sites online.

 

 

3. Video such as You Tube is becoming a favorite way for bloggers to add some excitement to their blogs, but it is also much more than that.

 

 

Many bloggers are also easily creating videos and putting them online on their blog. This is a very powerful form of social media that is giving your visitor what they want. Many people are a product of the TV generation and like to learn by watching as opposed to reading.

 

 

4. Discussion forums are a great place to make friends and sell products if you do it right. They can also be an excellent place to create joint ventures and millions of dollars are sold online now because of these.

 

 

There is much more we could say about social media including social networking in places such as FaceBook, My Space, and many others. The bottom line is making money online via social media all comes down to finding a way you enjoy and then mastering how to use it to your business and personal advantage.

      I am going to borrow a quote from billionaire, Warren Buffet, “The best investment you can make is in yourself,” This statement, while simplistic, speaks volumes. A shop owner is much more than a boss, a shop owner is a leader. And leaders are solely responsible for the success of their team. This means that you must work hard and commit to a life of continuous learning and improvement. It also means that if the team fails, a leader must always blame himself or herself for that failure and find ways to improve.
      For your business to flourish, you must invest your time and energy in understanding what your role is in your company. It also means that you must be committed to continually improving your level of competence. This does not mean that every task is your responsibility. However, it does mean that the buck stops with you. If your business is not where it needs to be, or you are looking for increased growth, then it is your obligation to do the hard work and set goals, have the vision, perform the research, and develop the plan to achieve your overall objectives.
      When you invest in yourself to become the best leader and the best businessperson you can be, others around you will feed off your energy and your passion. This sends a strong message to everyone on your team that you have what it takes to bring the company to the next level.
      One last thing, another obligation to your company is assembling the right team of people around you. Once you have the right people, you need to invest in them too. Find what truly motivates them, not what you believe inspires them. Be a coach to your employees and always strive to bring out the best in them. Be strong with your convictions and expectations, build strong relationships with your employees, and don’t be afraid of admitting when you drop the ball.
      While Warren Buffet is best known for making billions of dollars with his investment strategies, I want to believe that this quote has its basis in something that money cannot buy.

      The ERTC (Employee Retention Tax Credit) is something Hunt has talked about in the past (See Episode 10 and 33) but this week, he wants to discuss the current status of the IRS with regard to auditing and follow-up on businesses that have claimed this credit, such as:
      IRS is upping their fines if you don't disclose all funds, even the legit ones. IRS amnesty programs: From a simple "Hey, I've got this account" to "I owe you, let's settle." The IRS usually has three years to ask for back taxes, but some exceptions exist. If you've taken the ERTC money, there's a two-year period where the IRS might have you on their radar. Bigger amounts = more attention. The ERTC program's end is in sight, with some parts set to phase out soon. Want more details?
