Today I am going to show you how Social Media Marketing, if used correctly, can help your business grow.

The Internet was very boring before 2004 because the information on a page was static. Website Owners, Companies, etc created the content. Web 2.0 or Social Media means Internet, 2nd Edition.

Once the Web 2.0 was created, the content was now updated by the actual users of websites such as blogs, social networks, video sharing sites, etc.

Before Social Media sites like Facebook, Wordpress, YouTube, MySpace, Twitter and Squidoo were created, in order to go into business online, people had to hire a web designer to create a website or they had to try to figure out how to build one, themselves.

Social Media websites can really benefit your business. Now with the invention of websites like Wordpress, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, you can literally have a web presence in a matter of minutes! You can now pick and choose your prospects using these sites, but you need to target your market correctly and add value to their lives.

The only if is that first, you need to develop a relationship with them. It seems easier to try to sell to them first and develop a relationship later, but that won't work! If you develop a relationship with them first, it will be much easier to sell them something later. Give them value, care about them and try to solve their problems. Once you do that, selling can take place.

You should really care about these people and should care about their problems. You should really care about getting them results instead of just their money. This is the most important!

You should do great in your business if you follow this simple marketing strategy.

So get an account for Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Wordpress, etc and start developing relationships. Care about the people you talk to. Find out what their problems are. Then follow the 3 Step Selling process that never fails: 1) Provide value 2) Provide more value 3) Sell something.

You should also never upload a picture of your business instead of one of yourself! People are interested in other people! You should always market yourself! Not a company. People will follow you! Not a company.

This may sound like too much work, or too much time, but this is the best and easiest Social Media marketing strategy I have ever found! And it actually gets the job done!
