I know Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are great ways to help promote my company, but I don’t have the time to learn them. How much would a marketing firm charge me to run my social media?

You can find a firm to handle your social media for as little as $500 a month. However, what you might want to do is create an E-Marketing Plan. This would distill your company’s brand, set forth your objectives, and allow you to allocate resources in an organizeed and tactical way. . It would be also serve as an emergency manual when you have to make tough decisions at critical junctures. Much better than develop strategies ad hoc, as the need arises. Sure, you can jot your ideas down on a napkin over lunch and run with it, but these "let’s put on a show" ideas are seldom sustainable in the long run. It takes good tried-and-true business practices to succeed in business..
Also, there are a lot of good ideas out there: learn to cherry-pick and adapt to your own needs.
Typical of free idea sources is word-jobber.blogspot.com. While this site limits itself to direct marketing, it’s pretty shrewd. Best of all: there’s a new idea every Monday, just in time for a long week.

Facebook Dollar eBook is a good reference for Newbie.

At the SMX Social Media Conference, I provided these 20 take-aways about social media on my blog…

To avoid duplicate content, here are three of them, you can link the rest.

Social Media Marketing (SMM) is terrific for link building, not for conversions. This is a major change for many marketers to internalize and incorporate into their offering.

SMM requires incredible organization on the part of the marketer. Both to keep track of a campaign and to make sure not to break out of acceptable tribal ‘participation.’

SMM link building requires a keen eye for linkbait that relates to your marketing goals and finesse to make sure it’s not overtly sales-like in presentation…

the rest are on my blog…– the post is linked.

Using social media marketing is a very great way now to promote your site.

Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and YouTube are some of the social media network that can be very helpful for your business.

How can a business such as McDonald’s make use of Web 2.0 and social media to improve their market image and sales? To help you, use:

They can do what President Obama and the Ford Motor Company opted to do. They decided this is the advertising work horse for now and the future. Example President Obama’s massive email capture and use to raise over 700 million dollars campaign contributions most ever. That could be used for Mcdonalds email and text to get immediate response and to get customers to take action and to keep taking their pulse. Adoption of the New Media, like Ford had vowed to be the #1 Automobile Company in social media and they made it happen. also use the new Deal day concepts from companies like Groupon and Living Social example: 50% off today on big mac meal where a certain number people have to purchase the deal with their credit cards to make the deal done, win win situation for everyone. The Key is to buy into New Media Marketing, the reason these companies are growing so fast is the the culture has changed, better get on board or be left behind.

I personally like the American Express OPEN Forum. Although it’s not 100% social media, it has a lot of great social media information, and is moderated by top social media experts from around the industry. You have to be a business cardmember to use post, but you can read anonymously without problem.

Social Marketing Forum is good as well.
