Twitter is all the rage. It seems like every person you meet is asking you to be their friend on Facebook. Blogging used to be a novelty, now it’s tough to find anyone that isn’t blogging these days. All three of these popular web concepts have a single important element in common, they are all two way streets when it comes to communication.

Gone are the brochure style one way communication tools used online for the past 10 years to sell your product, or build your brand. No longer can you toss up some sales copy, take excellent pictures of your product, and hope people sign up for your offer. People want more, no, they expect more, welcome to dawn of social media.

Social Media in 4 Paragraphs

Social media is a new way to use the web, it involves jargon such as friending, adding, tweeting, and commenting. It involves both listening, and talking, both being there for friends, and engaging strangers, and it all is done on a daily basis by virtually everyone that is buying your stuff on the internet.

Sell kitchen products? You can bet your core customer is on Twitter or Facebook sharing recipes, asking for advice on new products to buy, and yes, complaining about brands like yours.

How about a service, say you’re a lawyer or medial professional, your patients are most certainly online, probably letting their followers and friends know about their upcoming trip to your office before your assistant ever pens in the appointment in your planner.

The examples of how social media and business are converging online are endless, yet the point of all these examples is as visible as a bright yellow dead end sign on a quiet street, you ignore these people and your business will suffer immensely. Your choice, the only one you have right now, is to engage these people on their turf, to meet them where they gather, and fast.

The Powerplay

In hockey when the opposing team gets a penalty for say roughing a player, or being offsides, they are forced to go a man down for as much as a few minutes time. If you are on the end of social media spectrum where you aren’t engaging users on a daily basis you are in essence a member of the penalized team, you’re playing at a major disadvantage to people in your industry that are actively using these networks to win new business. After all if you aren’t even a member of these sites, how could you ever know what’s being said in regards to your profession by them?

Conversely if you choose to step into the social media realm with a calculated plan, a premeditated strategy if you will, you my friend have the powerplay. A powerplay means you’re playing with an extra man on the ice, in other words, you’ve got a competitive advantage. You have the chance to be first in your industry to build a loyal following, these technologies are massive, but they are young, now is your chance to register business.com the domain name, as in now is your chance to do what you wished you did when the first wave of internet successes started emerging nearly a decade ago. You don’t have a choice to enter the game, it’s already started online, your only choice is which team you want to play on, the one that is advantaged, or the one that isn’t, that’s the only choice you’ve got right now.

The Benefits of Actively Using Social Media to Promote Your Brand

Community

By far the biggest benefit of using these platforms such as Twitter and Facebook is the ability to build a community around your cause. Sell a tire cleaning formula? How valuable would 100,000 gearheads be to  your business right now? What if you could have them help you develop the product, test it for you, and then spread the good word to ten friends each? If every person did this for you, you’d have a million people talking about your product, last time I checked that’d make you some serious dough, and wouldn’t hurt your brand equity either.

Community is about engaging, it’s about listening, and responding appropriately. Not just blasting off about your new idea or invention, it’s about caring for others. Do this, and you will help your brand in such a way it’s hard to put into words, let’s just say you will always have people willing to help you accomplish your goals if you’ve worked hard at helping them accomplish theirs.

The New Internet Marketing

The goal of any internet marketer worth a lick is to get people to visit a given website. So then, if several of the most visited websites in the world are already allowing people to freely guide others to their websites, would you not want to utilize them to the fullest? Why do we pay Google so much money in AdWords ad buys? Because most people that use the internet use the site. Newsflash, most people that use the internet use Facebook, and Twitter isn’t too far behind. Internet marketing will eventually manifest itself into social media marketing, because the truth is the opportunity on these sites is as big as anything else on the web today.

The New SEO

Google is now recognizing Tweets in their organic results, we've seen them page 1 for million + result terms. Further we’ve seen Twitter profiles for valuable keyword terms on page 1, which isn’t surprising if you look at Twitter’s PageRank.  Google recognizes Facebook profiles and allows commercial "fan" pages now that rank well too, even if they are blatantly commercial.

Yet another SEO success story is the page 1 bonus for many keyword terms in the new social media search function at the bottom of Google. Just search a name in Google, scroll to the bottom, and check out what hyperlinks they offer for that given name, you might be pleasantly surprised to see the new Facebook search link, that would in theory help your brand stand out.

Instead of trying to put your content where it’s not wanted (high PageRank sites that dislike spam) why not put it on sites that are SEO friendly, that like fresh content, and allow you to post virtually anything you want, anytime you want? The obvious answer here is that SEO and social media are like peanut butter and jelly, both are better when they are together. Bottom line: SEO will deeply depend on social media in the future, and thus utilizing it is a must for anyone that invests in SEO, period, end of story.

The Most Bang For Your Buck

Just the other day I was speaking with a major publicity firm in New York about social media management, they were having a recession promotion, so what the heck, let me see what they’re doing I thought to myself as I contacted a member of their sales team. After talking with them I almost tossed up my lunch when I heard what they were doing. Unbelievably the price was a whopping $3,000 for absolutely nothing close to what we are offering in this package. They didn’t even manage the account for their clients, and they had the audacity to put a package on “sale” for $3,000?!
