Using Social Media to Support your Marketing Strategy

If you do not have a website, get one. Buy a domain name, find a host, and get your name and image out there. A business may survive without a website today, but it certainly is not going to dominate its market. More and more people are becoming web savvy, and

Your business needs to be there to be noticed.

Remember, even though social networks serve a valuable service most do not charge a fee to use them.  Buyer beware.  Your account and your content are under the discretion of the social network.  If you rely solely on, for example Facebook, to build your customer base and “run” your business then Facebook decides to shut down your account, you are “SOL = So Outta Luck.”  Social networks should be just that networks you use as a media outlet to focus attention on your website.

Again, you should buy a domain name and pay for web hosting.
