9. Why Social Media ?
The rules of promoting your business have changed.
Facebook Marketing and Twitter Marketing are here to stay.
With the advent of Social Media everything has changed. An
online community of Twitter or Facebook users can make or
break your business with their Smartphones. Your company or
service may be getting hundreds or thousands of good or bad
reviews on the new mobile sites, either building up your
reputation or tearing it down without you even knowing it.
Are you taking advantage of the new Social Media, which is in
many ways free or much less expensive than traditional
advertising methods?

Social Media Marketing must be approached very
different than traditional marketing.
You are not selling your business; you are creating
relationships through communities. If people feel you
are part of their community, they will support you and
recommend you to their friends.
It is truly word-of-mouth marketing at its best.
