Are you social? Most people would probably answer “yes.” But, are you really? In today’s world to be social doesn’t just mean you say “hello” to people as you pass them on the street or go to every party to which you are invited. Today, being social means being social on the Internet, too, and it is almost as important as face-to-face. Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and Plaxo are some of the most popular sites and can be used as great marketing tools.
Everyone knows how important word of mouth is to your business, social networking sites are a great way to increase your word of mouth. These sites basically make it easier to connect with people. Clients have a way to access you, read what you have to say and give you feedback. Most sites can be easily accessed from anywhere, your computer, cell phone, BlackBerry, etc. Someone can read your page, give you feedback and by giving you feedback, spread the word to everyone in their network…virtual word of mouth.
