We mostly all agree that using social media can increase traffic to your website and awareness of your product or service. However, I've noticed that with all the talking heads we have over the Internet with blogs, ebooks, message boards, and podcast promoting the usage of social media, no one really explains HOW to get into it from a decidedly "scratch" standpoint. This doesn't really apply to using YouTube or LinkedIn, but more to platforms such as Twitter or Facebook where you "build" an audience to bring awareness of your business presence.


How do you get started with using Twitter or Facebook with no pre-existing audience?

How do you create a following on Twitter and/or Facebook from "scratch"?

I agree.. but I also think thats the nature of business. those who know, dont want to tell.. let me know when you find out.. I really just use it to make contacts

Yeah! I understand. That's my problem too. I'm optimizing my website, which is Prime Outsourcing, I have to join social media site for business but its very limited though. I agree too that using Youtube or widgets is not enough. I think we need an expert here.

i think you have to find other friends on fb and twitter that have similiar interest.. and just build momentum from there.. It seems that once that gets going.. things are easier...Daniel, PM me about your business..I may have a need
