WHAT IS SOCIAL MARKETING ? part one
|
The question about social marketing keeps coming up so let's
take a minute to talk about it and how it can help you make money.
At its core, social marketing is really
relationship marketing. These
relationships are developed by utilizing marketing platforms such as Twitter,
Facebook and MySpace among many others.
Social marketing differs from traditional push oriented marketing
in which the marketer, (you) pushes information via emails and advertising to

creates more of a two-way conversation where you develop a relationship with
your followers. This push/pull format
builds trust and credibility which in turn builds your business.
