This article hits it on the head. Social media marketing is going to become a critical component in business’ marketing mix. It puts that word of mouth on the web. It is now more important than ever to build a sense of trust and confidence from your customers and advertisements can’t do that. Social media marketing can.

Bullseys Pete! As always, you are right on the money. That is why education, not guessing or faking it, is so important in emerging trends.

Keep up the good work my friend!

Great article Tim

It is so true Social Media is changing the face of marketing forever and possibly changing how we in the Search Engine Marketing arena increase traffic to our clients web sites.

The tricky part that keeps the salesman safe is conversions are still the most difficult part of the equation.

Excellant and most timely article! I use both SU and Twitter but will eventually branch out on my Social Media. Great results too I might add.
Tim, as you stated, ‘Today, all of us are getting educated through the Internet, actually the “Social Web” (whether people call it that or not), by reading blogs and IM from our mobile devices, checking our social networks, join forums, participate in groups and virtual communities and listen to the opinions and read the reviews of people we trust.”

Cheers, keep up the good work!!!

Wow – this is really encouraging to see all your comments and interest in this subject. Though we are all using SM tools (twitter, facebook, youtube, etc), that doesn’t mean we are really creating a sense of community for our clients, where their customers feel a sense of belonging. There is much more to it. I will be sharing more soon.

Thanks for all the ‘juice’ on this. I am surprised, but not surprised. This is the hottest topic and one of the most important that you can be investing in. More later.

Insightful Blog, I have found the “Social Web” to be very benficial in finding solutions to technical issues for many years. We are beginning to use this more at my company with our Knowledge Centered Support effort that uses the basic principles outlined here.
