1. Mankind is, by nature, nomadic. We move around a lot. It’s very difficult to stay in touch with friends, family members and business contacts in the face of all that moving around. We lose track of them, they lose track of us. With social networking, people can search your name (or the name of your business) and actually FIND you, no matter where you are. And conversely, you can find those of your friends and contacts who have social networking profiles with ease.

2. Make new friends and business contacts. The more social networks you are a member of, the more easily you can find friends with similar interests to yours, or business contacts who are interested in your products or services. For business purposes, these identities can be very important later on. You can invite them to check out your website or online store, or to be on your mailing list, invite them to events, send them coupon codes for discounts on your products or services, etc.

3. Get your business known on the internet. Maybe you have a new company, or maybe your existing company just needs some more promotion. By creating a social networking profile on the important sites you are letting the world know who you are and what you can offer, on a much broader scale than you could do just locally with yellow pages or flyers or business cards.

4. Find a specific market for your product. Many social networking websites allow you to create or join groups. For example, let’s say you own an exotic flower arranging shop. You can find people or groups of people interested in flowers, or flower arranging and add them as friends, join those groups or even create a group yourself and invite people who are interested in flowers to join. This gives you a much larger network of potential customers or clients.

5. Get better search engine listings. Many social networks are considered to be important and valuable by the search engines. The search engines know that they are legitimate websites offering legitimate services, since they KNOW the sites, and since there are so many members on these sites. Very often, your own profile on a social network will show up higher on a search than your own personal website, especially if your website is relatively new and unknown.

There’s a lot to learn and a lot to know when it comes to using social networks for your business. These tips should help.

Once you sign up you’ll speak with an account representative. They’ll work with you so that we get all the information we need about your website & your competition. Once that step is done, we’ll start immediately working to drive traffic to your site.

One of the ways we will drive traffic to your website is through social networking sites. Social networking sites are websites of which people can become members, interact with each other in some way for personal or business reasons. These sites all work in different ways and offer different features, but all of them give you the opportunity to communicate and network on a much larger scale than you otherwise could.

We’ve chosen the best 50 or so of thousands of social networks for you. They’re the best social networks because they are the ones which have proven, over time, to have the most members, the most traffic, and the most possibilities of increasing your own search engine rankings and traffic to your website.

We will create profiles for your company at each of those top social networks like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, etc. So you will have 40-50 separate profiles, one on each site. These profiles will contain all the relevant information about you and your company that you already provided for us. These profiles will be created for you using all of our expertise about what works when it comes to social networking profiles. And when I say “what works” I specifically mean what has proven to generate traffic to businesses, based on years of research and creating successful, multimillion dollar web-based companies.

With these profiles set up, it will be possible for millions and millions of people to find out about your company, who otherwise would have no way to know about you. Just creating these profiles the way that we do it puts your company out there and gets you known about in a way like never before. It’s an absolutely crucial step. It’s crucial to get it done, and it’s crucial that it’s done correctly, because done incorrectly, your site can be banned or penalized in search engines. Since we KNOW all the ins and outs of this, the rules, etc. we know how to get it done RIGHT, so you can just sit back and reap the benefits.
