social media such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. There are several new tools
that are created in social media that can increase your chances of selling your product and having
increasing a solid viewer base. What’s important first is to develop your solid content, and then

and create your social media site, or page. You are ready to use the new innovative tools in the
differing social media spectrums for the increase of viewers, or customers. Another way to
create a strong customer following is by giving free samples, contests, and by giving out branded
items such as T-Shirts. This motivates customers to keep following the social media page.

base through marketing, to increasing your logistics of your marketing development. These are
new tools in Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube to help you grow a solid customer base.
Twitter has been adding media rather than having just text. There is a 6 second video application
call “Vine” giving you the ability to Tweet pictures directly. On Twitter you are able to target
promoted posts just to smartphones, so you can target a smartphone audience. Facebook has
several tools that can be used for companies to create a unique page. The Facebook products
offer a variety of services for your business with a fee. The applications range from being able
to sell your products and gather stats for improvement, to creating a unique looking page that

Linked In you can create lists of “tagged” groupings. That way you can send relevant
information to your contacts rather than doing an email blast. In YouTube You can easily get
more views by creating compelling thumbnails to videos.
Now you are able to create your own marketing strategy, and utilize the tools of social media
to increase your customer/viewer base. What’s important to keep in mind is that it may be good
to limit your social media use until you have been successful in one then join another. It’s better
for business to be successful in one rather than failing in several all at once.
