The key to using social media in a beneficial way for your business is simply that: using it.

Setting it and forgetting it is a big mistake many company’s make. In fact if you plan to do that you are probably better off not venturing into the social media realm at all. Forgotten facebook pages can fill with spam, steal SERPS ranking (thus visitors).

Hi there.i think Facebook is the heart of social media.If you want to make your firm long lasting in this intensely competitive market you must use it.
I heard that besides facebook and twitter you may use linkedin for promotion. Yes, it is a social media website but.. Does anyone know whether it is worth using it? What kind of audience I can find there and will it be the targeted one?

I think social media is the nest wave of future.They are going to lead in every field whether its affiliate programs,marketing,business conferences,you just can’t name the thing which they cannot do.
Hello there,
Social media is powerful for those who know how to use them. Most of all it’s the way you’ll say – post – promote your products to them. Think like you’re like a businessman and you own a small business. How would you talk to them offline? It’s a lot of work but building credibility is the first and most important thing.
That is why I really believe that SEO may not be successful without incorporating Social Media. SEO and Social Media must work together in order to get optimal results for your blog. Right execution of social media marketing and effective SEO endeavors, there’s no doubt that success may be reached in a short period of time.
