Max, while there are many options starting with the most effective social media platforms is a step in the right direction – Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and Flickr.

Also most small businesses don’t have a social media strategy and a dedicated specialist to fully utilise the potential of this marketing tool.

All it requires is a strategy, focus and a commitment to implement the strategy, just like any other marketing element.

The problem with social media is that there are so many options now. A small business owner is going to get lost and overwhelmed because not only do they have to run their business, but now they must make sure they know how to blog, understand and implement at least basic SEO and interact via social sites in order to get people to their site(s).

Seems like a lot of balls juggling int the air and one time, what’s going to hit the floor first?

I agree even if you are company and do not want to actively get involved in conversations, you can still listen to the chatter and ascertain what people think of your product or service. Or even use it to gauge what people think of your competitors. It’s an important tool which all businesses should use.

Social media’s power comes from how it is applied. It must be relevant, timely and valuable to a reader. Random waffles on a business website can be detrimental to a business so if your going to do it, do it well.

Hi,

In the start of your blog You say sorry and apologies. I think everything is perfect. Social media is designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. I think Blog is example of social media.

Anyone who isn’t using social media now is already behind. I always follow the big five and they are invaluable.
