Will the economic down turn tip social marketing into the mainstream? Could 2009 see continued explosive growth of blogs, Twitter and other social media?
I predict we’ll see a surge in small business blogs as marketing budgets continue to tighten and business owners hunt for cost-efficient ways to get the word out.
Enter social media marketing
Blogging is very effective SEO. And it’s SEO everyone can understand. You don’t have to be a technical genius to write good stuff for people you want to reach. A small business owner who is passionate about what they provide has all they need to write a decent blog.
Tight budgets – and fear – will propel independent contractors and other small businesses forward with online marketing and social media networking.
Necessity takes the fear out of risk
Let’s face it, anyone can learn to use Twitter, create a Facebook page, establish a LinkedIn profile, or ping a blog. The value is in the leading edge, not the bleeding edge. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
I learn best by doing. But if that’s not your style, or if you want a mentor, I’m here to guide and support your online marketing success
