The first building block of your social marketing business

is a blog. There are a number of free sites to set up your

blog.  But I’ve had the experience of suddenly and

unexpectedly being kicked off.  No backup.  Now I have my

own webhost.  Posting twice a week is a minimum goal. 

Every day is better.

Making friends on social websites is next.  Getting to

know people is a conversation. Listening, caring, just

like people you meet every day.  Standing on the table and

shouting a sales pitch does not work.  People like to deal

with real people they know like and trust.  Social

marketing is about relationships.

Help others in forums.  Don’t just push your deal. Share

and respond to problems.  And ask your own questions.

Putting your website in your signature is usually OK.

Social networking is not a quick way to get rich, but it’s

a way to develop a relationship with your business

prospects.
