How to do Viral Marketing in Social Networks

Matt O'Brien — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 09:27:04 +0000

It’s no secret that Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networking sites have grown exponentially over the past few years. Social media is arguably the most effective way to market to your targeted audience, when done right.

Mint Social‘s mindset is, “Bring your message to where the people are vs. trying to get them to your website. Strategically market to your prospects on their turf (social networks and other web 2.0 sites).”

The major search engines love social networks and you can’t overlook the link-building opportunities offered by social networking sites and others user-generated content sites.

We like to say, “Widgetize your marketing message for getting shared and for speading it across the web with the least amount of effort.”.

Pitchy content is less likely to be shared and passed on through social connections vs. educational content. Want to go viral…contact the social media marketing company. Read the full post – http://bit.ly/iazxxI
