As more and more social media sites find success, or start to fade like MySpace (sorry for the old logo), it becomes increasingly important to pick your social media plays carefully. Maybe even just to keep a sane workload, but mainly to be stategic.
I think that the most important thing is that the people involved in the social media effort are passionate about the brand/product. If it is just a job for them it comes across as fake.
Any business large and certainly the smaller businesses cannot ignore the huge growth in social media . Over 300images every minute are uploaded to Flickr, 250 million tweets are made every day Facebook has over 800 million active users. So it really is a case of getting your business onto these social media sites and make it work for you.

Thanks for the post. We cannot really neglect the role of social media in today’s world to make an online business or any business grow.
The best thing about social media is that its completely free for anyone to use! Making it ideal for small businesses looking to make a name for themselves online.
I guess we are observing how the old philosophy “build it and they will come” is falling into oblivion! If you want customers, you have no choice but embrace the social media.

That is so true, Loved the Michael’s video that you posted here, One thing I learned before I became a bestselling author and long before Inc Magazine voted my company as one of the fastest growing companies is that if you use these medias intelligently they can do a lot of good for you and your business. But one should know how to use it effectively, if you start thinking just update it and it will work for you.. If wont work for you!
Small Business can really benefit from Social Media. For starters you engage with your clients, potential prospects, pick up on any trends quickly and have some fun.
And better yet it only costs your time.
Indeed, social media is a powerful tool to promote business. But is it appropriate for all types of businesses? I get confused in this part when deciding if it applies to all. Definitely, it works for web services (blogs, forums, etc). I have been reading a lot of article on this topic as I am new to this area. Thanks for the great video!
Social Media is really powerful tool to give a boost to your business.
If you utilize it properly it can make a lot of difference.
On the advent of new technology, everything is far different with regards on business. As many changes that comes along our ways, the business world also mutate whereas the online business almost invade the market. We all know the social media is one of the biggest part that really influence the lives of many of us. There is no wonder why social media considers as great factor to gain success in business.
It is an interesting idea to have a summit totally online like this. Social media can definitely benefit a business. I follow a few local restaurants on twitter and they sometimes send out coupons and such. It is a good way for them to remind people that they are out there.
As a person who runs a small business I feel that the social media is a great friend for us to have. I have used it to promote my metal cover business and am very happy to say that it has been a great blessing. Many people actually order online and it has helped the business have a better reach. I am looking forward to the Summit and to sharing my story with others there.
Utilizing social media for the business purpose will prove to be very useful. If a new product is launched and if social media is used for its announcement or advertisement then it is surely going to gain popularity. As more than half of the world’s population uses social networking sites today, it is the best medium to grow the small business. This Small Biz Success Summit is a good opportunity for small business owners to understand the right approach for their business.
I watched Michael Stelzner’s video. While I thought it was interesting that it was shot outside while he walked around, I was also a bit distracted as I kept wondering where it was shot (somewhere in So Cal perhaps?)… I think he describes how big social media has become, but I wish he had explained how a business can actually PROFIT from it… I think even one real case study would have been nice, as I’m not sure if for most businesses that social media actually translates into profit. Anyway, I’ve resolved to learn more about it this year!

Hi,
I think it is become common right now that business either small or big company have to do the marketing with social media. We have facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, and others and it is free, easy. So, why we should not adapt this trend and grow with Social Media help.

For small business owners like me, it is very important to know the right approach to use social media for business. Utilizing social media for the business would really help in boosting the business. This success summit will help us to achieve this I guess. Thanks for this informative post! Even I have registered for the same. Looking forward for the summit.
I have been a big fan of the social media and the way it works. My kids were on it for a long time before they suggested that I use Facebook and Twitter as places to network with old friends, family and potential business partners. I took to it last year and now I have a large number of business partner who are in my business only through online communication. I must say the social media has helped me by leaps and bounds and in a sense, I owe my business success to the social media.
Thanks for posting the useful post. Its really amazing and useful for people who are running small business. Social media could really be one of the best source of promotion of every business. One thing I learned before I became a bestselling author and long before Inc Magazine voted my company as one of the fastest growing companies is that every business strategy should be followed by social media it could really be helpful like the video of Mr. Michael.
I attended a similar conference but it was held in two hours and I can tell you I learned quite a bit about social media marketing – certainly enough to take my internet marketing to a whole new level. This one looks exciting and promising and I urge anyone who really wants to improve their business to seriously making the investment of attending this conference; it will pay off in a big way.

I would love to join this kind of conference, for me to know what to do, to become successful in my endeavor. I have my own online business but I really don’t know if I am doing well.
Interesting but to bad I don’t have the money right now with what is going on with Google and my ranking just seems to be sucking right now for some reason!
