Social media is the “In” thing. It may seem intimidating to some people, but if you do your research, you will find that social media can help you grow your business online.

Some easy ways to get started:

1) Sign up for Facebook. It is free and once you sign up you can l have access to many free applications and functions on Facebook to help you in your online business. Facebook reaches out to millions of people and gives your business a good reach.

2) Get a Blog – Blog…blog …blog. A blog is free and helps you create some publicity for your business. Keep the contents fresh and get readers to leave comments. Don’t use a blog to keep promoting your business. But use your blog to create valuable contents that can be shared among readers.

3) Use Twitter. Sign up and start tweeting! Many big businesses have reported growths in sales after using Twitter.

For us at mySMBcommunity, Twitter has been an excellent Social Media tool. We have established a following, had our tweets re-tweeted and are among Sydney’s top 1000 in Twitter. And we continue to climb the ranks. Most importantly, many more people read our blogs and articles thanks to Twitter and we have more traffic to our website. It’s our own personal story of how social media has helped us.

4) Use You Tube – Make a short video and post it on You Tube. Don’t try hard to sell something in the video. Perhaps you could post an instructional video of how to use your product. Put some humour into the video and remember to make it something of value to others rather than a video that just reeks of sales tactics!

Why put off using free tools? Get started on these and you may just see your business grow.
