Social Networking
Social networking is a great way to grow your business and connect with customers and other business owners in your community or across the world.

What is social networking?
Social networking is the interaction between a group of people who share a common interest. Online social networking allows for those groups to expand outside of normal community business circles.

Social Networking can be achieved by participating on social sites such as Facebook and Twitter or by building a blog on sites such as Blogger or Wordpress.
How can Social Networks help my business?
Exposure on social networking sites can broaden your reach to find new customers. It's up to you to nurture those relationships and turn them into customers.
How can I get people to visit my site?
Provide a link on all advertising and marketing pieces. Include the link on your business card. Include it on packaging for your products. There are also directories where you can list your business for people to find (such as Yellowpages.com and Yelp.com.)
How can I get people to interact on my social networking site?
To get people talking, provide them with the ability comment or a forum where they can talk and discuss ideas about your company and/or product. Provide them with topics to discuss or ask their opinions. Give them a way to provide feedback (good or bad) and this will in turn help you to grow your business.
