Social Networking

You Spoke…We Listened!

Social Media Marketing has gained quite a bit of traction in recent months. It has made it easier for consumers to pass on information about companies and their products or services.

More and more businesses are beginning to understand the need to have a Social Media presence. We have talked to many business owners about what they are doing (and not doing)… and their concerns when it comes to using social media for their marketing.

Here are a few things that business owners have expressed a concern about:

How do I get started? I have no clue where to start.
How much time is involved? I don’t have all day to play on the computer.
How much is it going to cost? My marketing budget is limited.
When will I see results?
What Social Media platform do I need to use? Continue reading →

Social Networking….Privacy

I’m sure you’ve seen over the last few days that FaceBook encountered some problems with the sharing of user information. Now congress has stepped in and is asking questions about FaceBook’s privacy policies. Hmmm…now the government wants to get

involved?

Ok folks, let’s face some reality here. FaceBook is a social network where you share tons of information. Yes, it is wrong that the some of the gaming developers passed on user information, but in defense of FaceBook, they did issue a stern warning about sharing user information.

Have we seen the end of this problem? My best guess is…no. We have not seen the end of things like this. FaceBook, along with the other social networks, will always have one sort of problem or another with user’s information.

So what do you do? If you troubled with the possibility of your information leaking out, then stay out of the social networking arena, it’s that simple. However, if you can’t live without social networking, my advice to you is, only give out the information that you want the whole world to see. Continue reading →

are right in the sense that signing up for social media is free. But is social media really free?

You have heard the clichés “Time Is Money” and “How Much is Your Time Worth?” Continue reading →
