If you are new to the world of internet marketing then you will no doubt have heard the phrase social marketing. In fact you have probably heard it over and over again and the reason for this is because social marketing has become the must do in 2009. If you don’t know what social marketing is or how it can benefit your business then I welcome you to this blog. I plan on providing both new marketers and seasoned marketers with all the information they need when it comes to succeeding with social marketing.

Social marketing is as the name suggests all about being social in your marketing endeavors. One thing that you must remember though is that social marketing is all about you and your company and if done correctly it is a great way to brand yourself and become recognized in your chosen niche. With social marketing you will be interacting and connecting with people and this has to be done properly if you want to be successful. Many new comers assume that social marketing is all about promoting their affiliate links on websites such as facebook and twitter but they really are missing the point. Social networking is not about promoting affiliate links and products that is part of it but it comes later on. For starters you need to focus on building your reputation and once you have achieved this it is much easier to achieve results from affiliate links and product promotion or the marketing aspect of things.

Social Marketing is something that you need to learn and something that you need to plan carefully. I will be providing some great strategies and tips in later blog posts but for today I really want to make you aware of the fact that social marketing takes a lot of effort and hard work on your behalf if you want it to work. You won’t be creating profiles and spamming them with links to products. You will be interacting and providing quality information. If you are familiar with any of the very successful internet marketers on the likes of Twitter then you will be aware of the fact that they are not there for promotion only they actually interact with their followers and provide them with quality information. This is what gets them recognized and it gets others talking about them too. This is what you need to be aiming for.

Social marketing is not just a passing trend it has become an integral part of most online and even offline business and even celebrities are joining the social networking phenomenon.
