Social networking and social media for business are more than just having fun. These tools can help you achieve your online business goals and objectives while helping others and having fun while conducting business. Majority of the time I am all business, but social networking and social media is fun me and i am very passionate about helping others learn how to leverage social networking and social media to help their business. The newest term is social marketing which really relates well too.

Five Ways to Use Twitter For Marketing
This was a GREAT "tweet" @mrken777 tweeted on twitter and I had to post on our Twitter 101 for business blog for our clinets to read. This has some GREAT tips on using twitter for marketing which is a growing trend especially for being a cost effective method for small business.

Do you tweet? If so, you're part of a fast growing trend. EMarketer estimates there were about 6 million U.S. adult Twitter users in 2008, 3.8 percent of U.S. adult Internet users. Twitter users in the U.S. are projected to grow to 18.1 million by 2010, representing 10.8 percent of U.S. adult Internet users. Surprisingly, Twitter users tend to be older than traditional Internet early adopters; 45 to 54 year olds, the highest-indexing age group, are 36 percent more likely than average to visit Twitter, according to comScore.

Top 3 Examples of using Social Networking and Twitter for Business
1. Oprah just signed up on Twitter last month. If you don’t think Oprah is business then you don’t know Oprah. She is a very well accomplished professional woman who has done so much for others. For little known people who come onto her show they become stars. Maybe even some Book deals, increased sales of products, website traffic, etc. Why you ask? Because Oprah is bringing that person into HER network. And you know if Oprah and other celebrities (who deep down are business people to like you and I) are signing up on twitter, then twitter must have some business value behind it. Right? Its all about how you use this tool so get educated or request from us to schedule an interactive Webinar on twitter training.
2. We have 1 actual client (I will not mention their name) that has seen an increase in their website grade from 46/100 to 75/100 in 2 months AND now ranks 2 million on Alexa when they ranked 7 million just 2 months ago! If you are a business person and these powerful stats don’t make sense to you, just know simply we generate targeted traffic to your website with our system and help your website rank higher on Google. Don’t believe me? Click on an actual customer testimonial to the right. How does this help me make money you ask? Just ask the CEO of Zappos or the CEO of Netflix or Amazon and Im sure they can explain the importance of these statistics.
3. Linked-In and Twitter are VERY powerful tools. (We will have webiars out next week on how to leverage Linked-In and Twitter for Business purposes so keep an eye out). I will give you a tip- it starts with changing your mindset and your outlook on social media and social networking. You don’t use these social networking and social media sites to make money. You use these to build relationships with partners, alliances, customers, vendors, etc. If you are using these sites asking “How do I monetize my network” you might as well choose a different strategy because you are trying to push rocks up a steep hill. The only way you will make money with social networking is by getting a personal referral on-line or off-line. We are receiving referrals to help companies with social networking and social media for business strategies globally due to the power of social networking and the World Wide Web.
