Social Media Marketing (SMM) is the wave of the future.  In a recent study, over 900 marketers were interviewed and it was found that a whopping 88 percent said they did use SMM.  But just as significant, an incredible 71 percent of this group said they have been doing so for less than 3 months. (NOTE: This report came out in March 2009.  Since then, SMM has taken off even more.)

What is Social Media Marketing (SMM).  This a marketing strategy revolving around social media outlets.  Although there are a number of outlets, the four most common are:

· Facebook - launched in 2006, facebook exceeded 350 million members in the fall of 2009.  On Christmas of '09, facebook.com surpassed google.com as the most popular website in the world.

· Twitter - Twitter allows members to communicate in small text messages.  Twitter has just surpassed the population of the Earth in the number of tweets so far. 

· Linkedin - . Launched in 2004, Linkedin.com allows people who worked together, did business together, or otherwise has a connection, can become connections in Linkedin.  Once connected, you can browse and become connected with you first degree connection connections.  These become your second degree connection.  You can even go one level further and have third degree connections.  This is a powerful tool because

· you can find connections for your business pretty quickly.

· Blogs - Blogs are everywhere and are a good source for marketing.  You can put the traditional blog comments or your can put video blogs up.  The advantage of video blogs, at least for now, causes your search engine placement to be moved near the top.

 

Social media marketing is basically using these outlets of communication to help get your message to customers and potential customers.  How this is done is still the cause of confusion among most marketers and has spawned its own group of entrepreneurs to help marketers made the best of this new trend.
