WBS – The time required for effective social media related marketing is considerable. I’m planning a post, all about maximising the return you get for your social media marketing time.

Thanks for the comment.

You make a good point Karen, about the need to study what works and try and avoid, what doesn’t.

Thanks for the comment.

Good bloggers understand that if you write great content people will be interested – and SEO, even social media to an extent, happen much more “naturally.” Unfortunately, a lot of small business owners are so busy running the business that writing great content and reaching out in the social media space often gets overlooked. But you are absolutely right on, if you depend too much on one source of traffic, you will get burned sooner or later…

Times have changed and the shift from traditional to online marketing has been significant to a lot of businesses nowadays. I do agree that it’s important to be able to develop an effective marketing strategy that would cater to the needs and wants of your target market at a pace adaptive to what is currently happening.

By mere observation, I can say that a lot are already into the different social media platforms. I do agree that combining SEO and Social Media Websites can be a very powerful tool. However, it can also be tricky and risky at some point. To be able to maximize it, i think it’s important to study well the behavior of those people involve and to have a clear and well planned strategy on where you are going to position yourself or your businesses online.

It’s true that social media can make or break you. A well planned and careful execution can make a huge difference.

Brogan is turning into a prima donna. If he’s not doing seo its probably because he thinks he’s bigger than google!

Hi Mark,

You are right about the stumbling block – and it’s why I said in the post that the approach I use is NOT designed for most people.

Like you say, Google + money will equal traffic.

However, by developing an effective Internet marketing strategy that includes social media, you can make your Internet presence less exposed.

Thanks for the comment my friend.
