Hi Lyn

I love the way you’ve written the article with practical steps. Loved the emphasis on “competition” and reversed it to liking competition, network, building relationships.

Nice. That part I truly love for real.

Great work Lynn. Gonna pass this over to many of friends!

Social media is useful especially when your website has got some followers. Nowadays, people even afraid of linking to other useful websites. When they have to they use nofollow or javascript. This also causes spam and paid links. Thanks for the tips.

Lynn, every time I read your posts, I learn something new. Today it was “what impresses humans, also impresses search engines”. It’s true and it will become more true in future.

I’d like to extend #4 of your list. Although you don’t digg your posts, I advice you make it as easy as possible for your visitors to do it. There are toolbars you may put on your web site that are easy to use and serve the purpose.

Social Media should definitely be factored into any business model these days, online or off. Just as one example, see this story on a small local business taking off by using Twitter: http://www.clicknewz.com/1919/creative-uses-for-twitter/

Hey Lynn,
Just found your site and love the information you have given about social media. I am just getting ready to jump into internet marketing and have been reading and learning about the social media path for my business. I am a total newbie but believe this path will help me launch my business faster. Let me know if you think I am on the right path and do you have any particular suggestions about what my website should have to be readily accepted in the sphere of social media marketing? Again thanks for the information you shared.

Hey Lynn, thanks for the awesome post. You’re such an internet marketing rebel in terms of the rules you go by (IE the whole selfless marketing concept)…No one ever does that, everyone is after the “almighty $” and the quick sale as opposed to *duh* long-term relationships with people that will be more than beneficial in the near future!

Thanks! You rock!

This is a great overview on how to establish a great presence using social media. I think many people make the mistake of trying to stuff their product down someones throat and forget that people are advertised to ALL DAY, and are sick of it. A solid “guerrilla marketing” tactic like using social media effectively will go a long way in building return clients, and becoming a dominant source of information for your niche.

GREAT POST AGAIN!…

Lynn, I have just found your site and am grateful. Your posts are really refreshing – they have lots of meat on their bones!

Recently I went through and culled about 85% of my email subscriptions because there was way to much self-promotion going on [#7] and I was just tuning out BIG TIME. That helped me sort through my inbox a lot quicker each day too.

I think what you say about your competition [#8] not being viewed as your competition is great advice – we should be a lot more focused on building relationships than worrying about others stealing our ideas and business.

Thanks for all this great advice! I really like the part about the ’shameless plug’ – it’s so true, if you offer value, and you’re not spammy, and your topic is relevant – people want to know where your new information is posted.
