Consider updating your FaceBook status with notifications your products, blogs, articles, Hubs or Lenses, etc.

MySpace Marketing

MySpace marketing can happen when you add a lot of friends and post on their site as well as update your MySpace blog and status. You can broadcast to people who are interested in what you’re selling by perusing the network for people to befriend that fit your demographic / target audience.

Marketing With Twitter

Twitter asks and answers the simple question, “What are you doing?”. The answer can lead people to your sites and help them opt in to your mailing lists, subscribe to your RSS feeds, click your affiliate links, etc. Twitter is getting huge in terms of potential because of the number of users and the fact that people subscribe to Twitter status updates on their mobile phones so even if your customers are away from their desks, you can still talk to them.

The thing about social marketing is to provide value first so that you can use it as a strategic tool. If you establish yourself as an expert and a helper you can develop a great following that equates to sales and viral word of mouth marketing.
