Why Social Media Training Matters for Small Business

Many of today's customers live on the Web. They Facebook. They Twitter. They share videos on YouTube. Many of them are eager to follow their favorite businesses on social media, if those businesses put forth the effort to have interesting, engaging social media pages. In addition, the growing importance of local search such as Google Places, Yelp, and Citysearch makes it ever more crucial that small business cultivate an active and engaged user community. Social media marketing builds on one's SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategy to encourage prospects to become customers, customers to become fans, and fans to become evangelists.

Secondly, small business today lives on a budget. Social media provides small businesses with the opportunity to engage customers at no or low cost through media like Facebook, Google Places, Twitter, or YouTube. The problem is in training: most businesses just do not know how to leverage social media for free. Understanding the rules of the game will help a business dominate its market niche, as customers move from old platforms like the Yellow Pages or print to new platforms like Google Places, Facebook, Yelp, or Twitter.
