Tip #1 Socialize

Social media is about connecting and generating awareness with your niche: customers, potentials, critics, and people who are interested in what you do. It is all about building rapports and networking, not selling, although that does come as a result.

Listen. Learn. Listen. Listen Again. Identify your ideal clients and find them on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and LinkedIn, and start following them! Spend weeks listening to them; you’ll be amazed what they will tell you about their concerns, their ideal products, and their current frustrations. It’s a great way to get open honest market research.

Stay tuned for more marketing tips.
