Explaining Social Media
Ever since I started to help promote businesses through social media marketing, one of the hardest struggles we’ve faced is explaining to a business “how it works”.
People seem to grasp the basics, but when you’re talking to a 40-50 year-old client, most don’t grasp the principle of social media, let alone the marketing aspect of it.
It wasn’t till recently that I had a link sent to me from Chris Devine at Workforce Dimensions that I was able to sum it all up in one nice little package.
The explanation comes from Perry Blecher and covers a high-level explanation of social media marketing. This 40,000 foot view of this marketing form shows you the high-level concept in a way that makes it easy to understand.
Many people sink thousands of dollars of dollars without considering some of the free options that are available to them through social networking.
