But there are also several smaller sites that are popular for the same types of things. There are several different reasons that you may want to use social media and these will vary depending on whether you have a business or a personal account.
A personal social media account will typically have a lot of personal information. It will talk all about you and show your friends and family the things that you enjoy as well as the things you do throughout the day. You can post information anytime you want and for some people posting is something they do many times during the day.
If you have a business however then you should definitely be using some type of social media as well. That’s because these websites are perfect ways to meet new people and get your company name well known. Each time one of your customers likes or friends your page all of their friends will see your company name. That makes them more likely to come to your page and read about your company.

Once you get them there you want to make sure that you are using all the best tips and tricks you possibly can to get them interested and convince them to buy from you. This is actually a very easy process when you are actually working hard at it because all you need to do is think about your best services and market those on your page.

Working your way into something like this and being sure that you are doing everything you can to make this type of networking really work for you is the first step to getting more business and making your company grow. You’ll be on your way to better things in no time flat.

Social Media Web Design for Small Business (Page 1 of 2)
How important is social media marketing to the small business owner? Well it depends on what you want to achieve with social media. If you are looking to take your brand to a national or global marketplace then yes – invest in social media marketing. If you are a small business whose products and services are primarily geared to servicing your local area, then the question needs to be asked:
‘How much time do you have to dedicate to raising your social media profile and what return on investment will it provide in terms of sales or market growth?
Websites versus Social Media – what to focus on?
Websites make sales, social media pages generally do not. Establishing good search engine rankings for your website should be the first goal for new start-ups so potential customers can find you. Great content and the ability to convert visitors into sales create a successful online campaign.
Building a list should be the prime focus of tapping into the potential of your site traffic, otherwise opportunities are lost. You have the three time convincers, those people who need to connect with you more than once to be convinced to invest in your product or service. List building provides the opportunity to stay in touch with customers that have yet to purchase and gives them a chance to get to know you more.
Social media can help connect at a deeper level with potential customers and used well can drive traffic to your website via promotions and competitions. Integrated with your blog; social media pages can create a coordinated online marketing campaign with your website to build your brand. Most people using social media are doing so for the same purposes as you – to promote themselves and for its social aspect. That means sharing photos, videos, music, humour, inspiration, information, advice and connecting with stars, media and people of interest.
When embarking on an integrated social media campaign you will need to think about what it is that you are going to share (that’s not directly selling) with your followers? What have you got to offer that other people and businesses will find intriguing, inspiring, entertaining or useful?
Building Your Brand – Facebook, Twitter and Blogging
One thing I know is that people want to connect with you personally, they want to see your face on your social media profile not a logo. The exception to this is if you own a well-known magazine, trade journal or charity. Otherwise, my advice is to post a good photo.
Social media web design provides the opportunity to build your brand through images, slogans and profile information. Important is your by-line, if people get what you are about in an instant through the use of visual media and a one liner, the light goes on
connections can be made. When creating your slogan or by-line ask yourself ‘What is your higher purpose’ for doing what you do. Think in terms of how your products and services create value for people, ultimately what is it you are trying to achieve for them?
