MyTwitterFace - Social networking for business

You might have heard “social networking” mentioned before, it’s a proper buzz word with people that don’t understand it.
Let’s clear a few things up; the website owners know their stuff. They’re switched on and you will NOT get away with exploiting them. So how can you use social networking sites to your advantage?

• Get a load of twitter followers – target the people you know might want your product or service.
• Start a facebook group and spread the word, again targeting people who might need you.
• Set up a myspace page but don’t plug the hell out of it. Reply to comments and keep your content fresh.
• Advertise on facebook – it’s cheap and you can target people quite specifically.
• Most of all don’t expect a sudden spike in sales. You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink!
