So You want to find out what Social Media sites are the best? How can you Tap into this stream of explosive growth. Social Media Is here to stay and dominating the search engines. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace these sites turn the tables on making it a level playing field for marketing. Specifically in today's global economy! Everyone is making adjustments to what, where and how they spend their money. Even top marketers who spend money on Pay per click, Banner, Sponsorships and JV. You name it everyone is adjusting. What does this mean for you? If you can find the right niche market, you will win BIG. Think back to the Goldrush days in California. People came from everywhere to mine for gold. Some found gold and some lost everything. Who do you think made the most money hand over fist, even after the First movers and shakers came to town? It was the entrepreneur that sold the picks, shovels, gloves, dynamite, carts, pans, lights, advice and all the tools necessary to DIG for the Gold! They made income for years even after the Rush. Why? Timing! When a New Idea hits the market do you think it's better to be at the beginning of the trend? or after it is well established and everyone is using it and loving it? It is probably safe to say that most everyone has heard of these social sites and Web 2.0. Is everyone using it correctly to create a piece of the income that is being made through this medium? Shockingly no. This is where you come in. In my opinion the Social Media sites that you should be focusing on right now are the ones where all the traffic is. This makes sense right? You could probably guess which ones to focus on but you actually don't have to. There is a site on the internet that keeps all of this data for you and they do it FREE. Free is a word I love when it comes to marketing. I am going to show you a lot of ways you can market yourself and some of the best ways believe it or not, are indeed FREE.
Let's start with
Http://www.alexa.com this website rocks. They track all websites submitted to the search engines and rank them by how popular they are. You can even download a
FREE toolbar so you can see the ranking of any website. Talk about a true time saver. Anything in the Top 10 should be your main objective to dominate in your market.
YouTube is #3 barely behind Google #2 and Yahoo #1.
Myspace is #6
Facebook #8 and
Twitter is #599 Twitter is the exception because it's the new kid on the block and from how it's just killing the charts
SEE HERE (More on Twitter later) All of these sites are FREE to Join (Click any of the links above to take you there). YouTube is the best one to start with because of Video. If a Picture can tell a thousand words, Imagine what Video can do? You become a real person worldwide. I believe YouTube is by far the best invention for communication other than the Internet itself. Bigger than Email will ever be because you can now send video in your email. You are real. People can See you, Feel your emotion and even read your body language. How incredible is that? That is the most powerful message you can bring to the table. Don't think you need to be polished because that is not You. This is not TV AnchormanTube, It's YOUTUBE. Not everyone is going to relate to you. That's O.K. Actually that's great because you don't want everyone to relate, you want them to listen. People are burnt out on Commercials, why do you think DVR's are so popular, so you can fast forward through the commercials. You can watch your favorite TV shows online now. If you want the cliff notes you can get it where? Youtube.
