Social Media Network Marketing

Social Media Overview:
Social Media is the fastest growing online marketing platform to hit the Internet. Marketers and businesses are scrambling to take advantage of this phenomenon and understand how to monetize it. In essence, social media is a group of online tools and platforms (i.e. blogs, forums, social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin, and photo sharing sites) where people can connect, exchange opinions, experiences, insights and build relationships. By participating in the social web, businesses can have new avenues to reach more potential customers, promote their products and services, create more awareness of their brand and drive more traffic to their website.

Partnering with Your Customer Base
Social media marketing (SMM) and word of mouth marketing (WOMM) are changing the way we interact and ultimately with each other. Consumers are being empowered by expressing their views and reactions to products and services and sharing them with others who are looking for the "user" experience in making their purchasing decisions. The goal of the advertiser or marketer is to partner with the consumer or customer to interact with them on a more personal level and focus attention to their products or services. By reaching out to the consumer, offering them special social media networking promotions, they are building brand loyalty and fan followings.

Creating an Effective Social Network
Any company, whether an entrepreneur, small to medium size business, or large corporation can take advantage of social media to reach new customers and expand your reach. The Web Success Team provides clients with proven social media marketing strategies and networking packages that will help build your brand and drive qualified traffic to your website.

Facebook: A New Marketing Reality
One of the best ways to begin networking through the web is Facebook. Its exponential growth in the last five years, especially with the 35 and over age group, allows people and businesses to connect to people with similar interests and goals all over the world. Businesses on Facebook have access to new information on potential clients. They have the opportunity to promote their brand through a variety of applications such as Events, Fan Pages, Posted Items, Polls and Classified ads. Facebook also provides users with its own statistics.

The Web Success Team supplies clients with the initial set up, maintenance and training on how to maximize your Facebook profiles and fan pages to increase your ROI and drive qualified traffic to your business through proven direct response marketing techniques and online branding.

Blogs and Article Marketing: Content Is King
Blogs are the oldest form of social media. Written content, comments and newsletters allow for online social communication and helps businesses maintain consumer connections. Content is king for keeping high search engine rankings. The Team will help you create a branded blog or revamp an existing one. We have the tools to market your blog and article content through over 1000 directories as well as promote your material through press releases and the social web. This is also called off-page marketing.

Twitter: Microblogging
In the last year, Twitter has boomed, becoming one of the biggest networks on the social web. Twitter users are often the first to find out big news such as Michael Jackson's death and the results for the 2009 Iranian election. This means that small and local businesses have the opportunity to compete with big companies on a level playing field. Let your consumers and potential customers know what your brand is doing, promote sales and events as well as post relevant links. Twitter is versatile and can be used for anyone and any business.

LinkedIn: Professional Networks
LinkedIn is a network of business professionals that allows experts to field and answer relative questions as well as connect to friends and colleagues on a more professional level. You can post updates about your business as well as find people with similar interests and skills.

Niched Social Profiles and Directories
The Team has plenty of resources and tools for specific markets. If Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are not enough, then we will research your field and find social networks and article aggregators that will allow your business to sell to targeted markets and attract qualified traffic.
