Promoting your business thru Social Media

Social media web applications should take a nice share in the marketing efforts of any business.
Marketing thru these networks has a viral nature and could provide great results.
Any business owner who whish to promote his business online should at least give it a try.
I cannot think of any business model that will not benefit from it.

Marketing thru social networks could be as simple as developing your list of friends at sites like Myspace or Facebook and then publishing your marketing messages to them.
This method is widely used by many and very accepted.

Another social media you should consider is social bookmarking sites like Digg.com or del.icio.us.
If you are not already familiar with the above two right now then you should really go and check them out.
Digg is a growing community that is based on sharing links to sites and interesting web pages over the internet. Getting into the first page in digg is known to be a super powerful traffic booster.

Producing video podcasts and submitting them to sites like YouTube is just another powerful weapon you should add to your arsenal. This is very effective and could bring tremendous results.

I covered only the tip of the ice berg.
What I like about online marketing is the variety of tools you can use.
We’ll discuss more of this in future posts.
