Popular Websites For Social Network Marketing
There are many different social networking sites catering to a broad range of target menberships from very specific professional target groups to those with a student focus, to those with very broad target groups. Before deciding to use social networking groups for marketing first research whether the social network is a real target market for your products, services or business opportunity.
Below are probably the three most popular social networking websites but a quick search of Wikipedia will show a list of hundreds. You might find a smaller or more focussed group better suited to your business.
FaceBook is a social networking website which has been around since 2004. Anyone over the age of thirteen can join FaceBook and it is definitely one of the biggest and most popular sites. Many social network marketers prefer FaceBook because it appears more family oriented but it does have a very broad spectrum of members.
MySpace
MySpace began in 2003 and has a loyal following of people who have been with MySpace since the beginning. You can set up your own personal profile upon signing up, add photos as well as business and school information. Some say that one problem with social network marketing on MySpace is that there is already too much marketing spam on MySpace.
Twitter is one of the newest social networking websites. Twitters utilize “Tweets” which are similar to “instant messages”. For businesses purposes and marketing purposes, you can send out a “Tweet” for instance when you make a new post to your blog page. Internet users who visit your blog page will be able to view what you have been working on while paying a visit to your new post.
You will of course have your new post linked to your main website. As usual it is the quality of your post which is important, rather than quantity.
