Can social media help your business?
Yes! Hundreds of millions of consumers already tap the Big Three (Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn). A couple tips if you're just starting:
Tip 1: Be
patient.
There may be some immediate benefits, but these networks, like many other marketing vehicles, help build sales over time. According to a 2009 Michael Stelzner report, among marketers that had invested several years in social networking, 62% reported closing business through these networks.
Tip 2: Be disciplined. Don't just set up your accounts and forget them. Keep them updated. Carve out a portion of your time weekly (or better, daily!) to keep your Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn content fresh and to grow your lists of followers,
friends and connections.
