The use of Twitter is growing in popularity and many large corporations are taking advantage of this new niche market and reaching out to potential and current consumers through a series of online ads on these sites. Everything from breaking company news to special promotions and coupons can be “Tweeted” about and posted on the site, and there are a number of applications and services to make this easier on your company.

This is a free website that will enable you to find who and or what you are looking for. You want to follow the right people. The right people to follow are those in your industry.

Keep up-to-date with your competitor’s, local news, or people who follow the same ideals. You will be able to search and locate local journalists. You will know who the top influencer is by searching various publications. You can also search by beat and/ or topic within your industry. Use this tool so that you can find the right person to assist you in local news and see what is going on today.

Of course, this is but an example of how social media sites can be used for marketing the products and services of small businesses. And that should the market for social media marketing continue to grow in popularity as suggested by Online PR News, many small businesses can begin to use this inexpensive resource to help grow their businesses regardless of whether they develop specific promotions or choose to use social media in a more general way such as highlighting the company’s products or services.

As you begin to develop and/or expand your presence on the Internet for your business consider this: Websites and/or services like Twitter are good solutions to help jumpstart your marketing campaigns online. However, you will need to develop more comprehensive strategies, since no one way will work for all businesses as you begin to build a customer base that you can then market to online on a regular basis. As stated earlier in this series, in order to rise above the crowd you will need more than just a website. Therefore, implementing several Internet based solutions over the next 12-24 months will be critical to the long term success for virtually every small and local business in America.
