Why You Must Use Social Media to Promote Your Business Brand
You know your business has to be on social media or so you've heard. I'm here to tell you again it's a must but I'll tell you the "why". It's where the people are a big group of potential clients that are out there hanging out in Google plus, connecting and sharing with family and friends on Facebook, looking to hire or be hired on LinkedIn, and grouping up and sharing ideas and pictures on Pinterest. Millions of people use social media everyday and are looking to connect with new people. If you don't get your company social you are leaving money on the table, my friend.
It's The Place to Be!
What are the most visited websites on the globe? According to Alexa the top 10 contain social media platforms. Facebook is the number 1 social media site on the list, next is YouTube, and Twitter is number 10. People are on these social sites 24-7 and you could be talking and building important relationships with the very people who are most likely to buy from you. As I have said before social media is like a giant party and you need to be there passing outing out your business cards and making connections.

What a great way to give value and gain insight from your clients. You can show them your personal side as well as you gain insight as to what interests them most. Want to test an idea?

Every day you can be in contact and get your brand in from of people to remind them what awesome services you have and where to look!

It Cost Nothing
You can advertise, market, and show off your brand for zero money. It costs you only the time you have to invest to network on social media. I spent my time and less than 100 dollars my first year to make 10s of thousands dollars profit in one year. I built relationships and the clients came to me. I studied and found the platforms where my potential clients were spending their time. I created a profile and engaged with my fellow users. It was as simple as that.
