Social Media for your Business







Hello Fabulous,

Businesses are forming new connections using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and even blogs every day.

While I myself am trying to know social media inside out, I don’t know it all and neither does anyone else. You just need to practice.

My advice to businesses everywhere is to tailor social media sites to your advantage.

The fact is social media is the new marketing phenomenon for businesses and you need to know how to reach a new breed of customers by using it. However, you may have to change your ways. Practice.

It’s obvious that people are using social media as a medium to get out a message be it a promotion or an announcement. Depending on traditional media is no longer the best approach.

With the millions if not billions of people using social media, businesses must not hesitate to create an effective social media strategy.

Another thought, don’t expect people emailing or messaging you non-stop once you have a profile set up.

There are necessary steps to take in order to engage and attract an audience.

Also, please be careful what you say, tweet or post in virtual space. Irreversible statements you wish never were can be an ultimate set back to a business’s success.
