Getting Started on Social Networking Sites

November 26, 2008 By Gail Gardner 3 Comments

With Twitter, Facebook, Digg, StumbleUpon and literally hundreds of other Social Networking sites how can anyone know where to start and formulate strategies for using them to grow businesses? Fortunately for us all, Marketing Pilgrim has given us A Beginner’s Guide to Social Media Marketing as the perfect place to start. Read the guide and the more advanced information after it to better understand:

  • What Social Networking or Social News Sites are
  • Different Types of Social News Web Sites
  • How Social News Websites Work
  • Factors to Consider When Choosing Social News Communities
  • How to Get Started – don’t skip this step as how you start makes all the difference
  • How to Use Social Sites to Make Your Own Content Popular
  • Recommended Strategy for Beginners

Like many other skills, the only real way to effectively apply a new strategy is to just do it. First get familiar with some of the sites and ensure you understand what behaviors are acceptable and which will end your effectiveness there before it even starts.

Then you can create a business strategy for using your Social Media profiles. See the resources below for more on using Social Media for business purposes.

    “Like many other skills, the only real way to effectively apply a new strategy is to just do it.” very true, the only problem is time – most processes like this are very time consuming and unfortunately theres no quick fix
