Social Media May Seem Like A Scary Prospect

Hello Friend,

Whether or not you've embraced Social Media, there is no denying the fact that it has arrived and it is on the rise. Your choice now is to either stand on the platform and wave at the people speeding by or jump on the social train and work your business.

Trust me, I was a bit hesitant at first. I didn't really care about what people ate for dinner or what cute trick their dog did. But I quickly realized what a monster opportunity stood in front of me. And I hope you will too.

Think of it as a giant conference and all the networking that takes place in the halls between sessions and over dinner with the many attendees. The connections you make just because you are seated with new people who you know through acquaintances or those you don't know at all. Information is exchanged, appointments made and joint ventures are created. THIS is Social Media!

The trick on this train ride is engaging people, getting their interest and leading them down the right path... YOUR path. You can decide to do this on your own or with the help of a business or consultant. But whatever you choose... just do it.

The next thing to remember is that Social Media and SEO are quickly becoming intertwined. Most SEO experts agree that search engines are taking many social media factors into account when ranking pages. In other words, instead of just looking at backlinks and PageRank, the search engines now look at your social media profile, Facebook likes and reposts as well to help determine rankings.

When it comes down to it, the secret to successful SEO and social media are really the same. Provide good content, consistently. It's what people tend to pass on and it's what the search engines are looking for.

So, are you ready for a Social train ride? Or are you just waving from the platform?

Social Media May Seem Like A Scary Prospect

By M.J. Schrader

There are so many different ways to approach social media and so many different formats. The big ones to many people are Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, and Four Square. These may vary by your location or the people that you or your business know. While starting and handling all the different formats may seem like an overwhelming and confusing task, if you are ignoring Facebook, you are ignoring the elephant in the room.

Now even though you may know Facebook is important, once you see some of the facts and figures behind it, you will realize why ignoring this elephant is not a good thing.

Here are 10 Reasons why Facebook is HUGE!

1. 700 Million Global Users

2. One-half of Facebook Users (so 350 million people!) log in on any given day and the spend an average of 55 minutes per day on Facebook.

3. 48% of 18 to 34-year-olds check Facebook as soon as they wake up.

4. 71.2% of the US Web Audience is on Facebook, yet 70% of the Userbase is outside the US.

5. The average Facebook User has 130 Friends.

6. Facebook is the second most popular way to share information. Email is first, but losing ground...
