In today's social media rich atmosphere it's easier than ever to pick your choice of blogging sites from YouTube, HubPages, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, and LinkedIn to list a few. These are just some sites where you can begin broadcasting your brand and capitalizing on a relatively unknown product, person, or service and turn it into an instant viral sensation. When you realize the possibility at our fingertips and the simplicity by which you can unleash your own information into the digital world to begin branding your company, it is only a matter of time before people know who you are and what you do.
Twitter was launched in 2006 and reportedly has more than 17 million users with millions of 140 character or less messages flying through the airways on a daily basis. MySpace is revolutionary phenomenon with over 14 billion user and more than 8 million images uploaded every day. Facebook launched in 2007 and has roughly 250 million active members. YouTube attracts some 60 million visitors each month.
To put this all into perspective that's a lot of opportunity for anyone looking to benefit from through social media. When you think of the leverage that advertising and marketing can take place between just a few of those social media spaces you have a unique marketplace to pick up new customers. You can set up your own profiles with content pages, post messages, pictures, and promote your own your products or services, to any market niche you want to reach.
One of the reasons that social media is such a force in today's market is because we have the ability to communicate our message immediately. As a society that prides itself on instant gratification, we are now more than ever able to jump into conversations mid-stream on Twitter to add our quick two-cents. With its speed and fun, this site has proved itself a formidable competitor of Facebook and MySpace. MySpace was able to appeal to young people in a easy, fun, friendly way that continues to make it a market favorite and now its appeal has transcended generations and quite a few adults have joined the social site.
Most of the people that join social media sites are looking to network and find out information. If you question their usability then you more than likely are not seeing the potential that exist for network marketers. Twitter is a simple, super easy way to build a network of followers with tons of apps, the only catch you have a 140 characters of less to make your point. Facebook is great for building a network base on one page and fan page on another for your product. The cool thing about all of this is that you can keep your worlds separate by creating multiple accounts.
It is important that whatever method you use understand that people want and need information. You should join these sites and build relationships, post relevant information, and be intentional about your desire to help people. Understand your audience for all of these sites and you use a "like" or "interest" page to capture your audience and attract people to your MLM opportunity. Any business strategy should have both an offline and online marketing component to grow your business. You need a strong internet presence to survive and you only need to leverage a few internet marketing strategies such as forum marketing, article writing, and ad placements to expose the market to your product.
