The Social Media Conundrum
If you're wracking your brain thinking of ways to boost traffic, get more people and more business – but – have run out of steam and ideas, we have the perfect solution for you, social media marketing packages.
Let's face it the time has come to wade into the waters of
personal media. It's the latest trend and a growing one at that. Do you
really want to miss out on the bandwagon and be left sitting by the
side of the road wondering why your competition has more traffic than
you do, makes more sales a month than you thought were possible and has
a booming client base? Answer is: no, of course not.
This wonderfully chatty trend has multiple potentials that you might not really be thinking 
about.
Right now you may have a certain reluctance to share personal details
about yourself and your hobbies, likes and dislikes. (Facebook). Maybe
you think no one could really care what you are doing and how few words
you can use to tell them (Twitter). That's
the unpolished beauty of the whole social marketing fad – the personal
details that give a potential client, business partner or recruit an
idea of the "person" behind the suit or website.

the unpolished beauty of the whole social marketing fad – the personal
details that give a potential client, business partner or recruit an
idea of the "person" behind the suit or website.And that leads me to another point. Your website, although no
doubt the product of long hard creative hours to tweak it and make it
reflect your business, what you offer and other business type things,
does not give surfers an idea of the "who" behind the site.
It's a well-known fact that people prefer to deal with those they know, or feel they know and like dealing with. The
only way people can get to "know" you is if they have a chance to find
out who you are, what you like, what you think and how knowledgeable
you are in your field of expertise.
Although websites are still good marketing tools, they do not have
the same buzz about them (even with flashy graphics and interactive
forms) as social media marketing sites such as Facebook, Twitter and
LinkedIn. Social is as social does, and being social and talking to people one on one is what will get you business – guaranteed.
Now you might be thinking, "Who the heck has time to keep up with three big social media 
marketing
sites?" Good question, and one we definitely have the answer for as
well. We're excited to be introducing a new service for our clients who
want more personal social media marketing exposure. The best part? We offer three packages to choose from and they will all save you money over traditional advertising. No kidding!

Once a Twit (ter) Always a Twit (ter)
Well
actually they don't call people that use Twitter, twits – although that
may have been a tempting thought to some when this social networking
site was first launched in 2006. No, those who use Twitter are called
twitterers or tweeters. Funny name for a site that is supposed to be
used for business applications don't you think?
"I love that Twitter re-connects me in real time to the outside world." – Amie Gillingham
Well, believe it or not, this social networking site for business people now has over 1.5 million users worldwide. That's a lot of people tuning in to what you are doing in your business. If you sat down and did the math of that many people in one place at more or less one time, the odds that even a portion of them would "follow" you (especially if you are bright, funny, interesting and an expert in your field) would be phenomenal. No way could you beat statistics like that with a website.
And while I am on the subject of websites, the exposure on Twitter will outstrip a website any day. There isn't one site that I can think of that has the potential to reach over 1.5 million people – well ok, maybe Disneyland. Kidding aside, Twitter is one of the best investments you will ever make in your business.
"I use it to direct traffic to my blog/websites." – David Kamatoy
Now you might be thinking
why would anyone really give a tweet where you are and what you are
doing, and in some cases that might be right. However, you can't please
everyone and you can't reach everyone. But, having said that, the
chances of reaching even one third of the Twitter user base is really
good with a targeted program working in your favor. We have three
programs that we have just launched that would suit your Twitter needs
to a T (witter.)
Interestingly enough, Twitter is a bit like a blog, even though its intended use was a social networking site. Business and corporate bloggers got on the bandwagon right smart when they discovered it was a super way to generate online publicity and promotion. Basically, when you sign up you get a page where everything you add to it is published, and it also includes people you "follow." Following is really just another concept name for adding friends – uhm make that business opportunities, contacts and leads.
Think about the powerful viral spread of word of tweet marketing. Where else could one possibly get such instant and valuable exposure for their business? The answer is, nowhere else, and that is why Twitter has such enormous value in today's marketplace. It is also less expensive and time consuming than maintaining a website.
The other invaluable benefit is that people on Twitter get to know you on a personal level and that is what attraction marketing is all about, isn't it? Attraction marketing is a relatively new term being tossed about as being the next best thing to sliced bread for 21st century marketers. The real truth of the matter is that attraction marketing has its foundation in sharing content between users, developing an online presence and being creative and collaborative. In other words, social media marketing.

"Twitter
has become an extension of my online brand. It represents me, and not
just my company. I use it to declare items about me and not just my
job. I have a diverse group I follow." – Tim Rueb
