Don't Forget Social Media

Part of doing business today is being present on the internet, I think we all know that already. But there are many ways to have that presence, it's not only your website anymore. You need to be where people are looking  so they will remember you and consider you an expert in your field or industry. You can do that by using the popular social media sites and posting items that will benefit your visitors, the public and friends. Tell people something that will help them in their business or every day life and do it a couple times a week or more often. The most popular free social media sites today (no one knows what's coming) are:

  *Facebook.. for personal or business, be friends or set up a fan page
  *Linkedin.. mostly business connections (no limit) and ideas
  *Google+.. getting more popular and you can add groups/people
  *Blog.. Where you can have people visit for posts, ideas and stories (free Google & Wordpress)
  *Twitter.. Short posts can direct readers to other media

Almost anyone can set these up and start using them in 5-10 minutes. Don't overlook this easy method of reaching customers, prospects and people who never knew your business existed.
