Social Networking

Social Networking is all the rage these days, and it can be a good way to help promote your website and products or services.  If you’re interested in adding this type of service to your marketing repertoire, here are some that we recommend.

Facebook

Known as a social utility that enables you to connect with friends, co-workers, customers, and the like. Promote yourself and your business! Your friends/customers can follow you, become “fans” of your page, and help lead more traffic to your website or business.

Google Friend Connect

A gadget for your website or blog that allows you to follow that site or blog, as well as network with all the other followers of the site.

MySpace

This is not just for your teenagers anymore. Many business owners use MySpace as a way to share business information, photos, videos, etc.  It’s your own web space, easily customized to promote your business.

Twitter

This isn’t a full blown website for your business; it’s more of a communication tool, which allows you to post short messages (called “tweets”) that reach all of your followers at the same time.  So it can be a real time-saver in that regard. Very handy if you text via your cellphone on a regular basis, since you can tweet from your phone too.
