If you have a website and you have done any research at all, you will have no doubt read about building your brand through social media. If you're a newbie, you may have had to google "social media" to discover what it is. There seems to be a lot of disagreement about just what constitutes social media.
Obviously, social media includes anything that has been created for social intercourse. The problem comes from the sources of information. Many self-proclaimed experts limit it to the article directories because they have an automated article submitter to sell.
The advice is good: getting lots of articles in lots of article directories helps exposure. The question then becomes, whose "magic traffic generator" or automated submission program should you buy? The answer is probably none of them. Find a free one and see how it works, first.
Because blogs cannot be created with automated software, they don't get as much coverage as article directories. There's not a buck to be made in recommending that you hand create and submit blog entries to at least two dozen blogs. The thing is, though, as social media go, blogs are great and it's worth the trouble. Yes, it is time consuming, but there are ways to speed up the process.
First, there is a great little program that can automatically fill in forms for you. All you'll need to do is fill in the captcha part of the form. When you are signed up, the same form filler will put in your user name and password.
Don't think you have to write a different blog entry for every blog. You can write one entry and submit it to all your blogs. If you have written keyword heavy articles with too many links, it may backfire on you with some social media sites like Wordpress and a few others. You may have to tone it down for these.
Don't pay big money for false promises. If you are serious about building your brand through social media, you're going to have to do a little work. - 32606
