Using Networking Sites

What are the benefits of Facebook, Twitter etc?

Social networking sites are a great way to drive extra visitors to your site by using the networking element of them.

Everyone knows someone who has a personal Facebook profile even if you don't yourself. So, when a Facebook profile is set up for your business, it means that you can invite people your know, friends, family, colleagues etc to follow your profile which in turn will direct people to your website.

For each person linking to you, they may have 10 , 20 or more people linkin to them so your networking opportunites can really build quickly and even worldwide! If you only trade locally, don't worry about people in other parts of the country or world visiting your site. The more visitors there are the better, as this also helps your search engine optimisation.

With Twitter, the key is to get as many people to follow you as possible especially your existing customers. The reason is that Twitter will allow you to quickly put out information to your customers about special offers or deals within seconds. The alternative? A time consuming and expensive mailshot!

 

LinkedIn is a professional networking forum which is especdially suitable for business to business contacts, whilst You Tube video uploads allow you to not only imporve the appeal of your site but, as with all these social media forums, increase your online channels to market.
