Social media has become one of the first places businesses turn to as a way to make profits during this recession. Large established firms and new entrepreneurs have discovered the power behind the use of marketing in the social media space.  Many have figured out if you strategically target your market you can do so effectively in an hour or less a day.

Have they forgotten the whole premise behind social media? The premise behind social media is about making friends, being social and forming relationships. Social media was not designed as a way to make money.

However, as the business paradigm has shifted to this new medium there is a way to use social media marketing as an effective tool without violating its best practices.

First, you must remember to share information for FREE.

Secondly, you must provide value with the information that is being shared no spamming allowed.  No one really wants to see a business shout “Try ours it’s the best in the world” although it does happen too often in the social atmosphere.

Third, you must be willing to learn from one another.  Listen to your potential customer’s point of view on your product or service.

Forth, you must build trust as that is the only way people will buy from you.

Last, you must be credible, help others with their problems. So many corporations have failed the general public they certainly don’t want to come online to a social space to get more of the same. Credibility is a must.

As you use social media as another form of business marketing it is required that your brand, be it Coke or You INC. build a reputation as an authority so that you are able to fulfill the requirements above.

The social media marketing hour should be used to demonstrate the value of your brand. Value stands out as the key to building customer trust and loyalty.

In the social media space potential customers have a voice and they insist on being heard or they will flock to your competitors.

There is a way to use the social media marketing hour effectively without alienating the masses, you just need to follow the proper protocol.  Social media is a new and exciting powerful tool for making friends, connecting with loved ones and also for doing business.
