Marketing is a fundamental part of being a successful entrepreneur. You have to know what kind of marketing needs to be done in order for your website, store, and business all together needs to keep you up and going. To be seen you MUST market somehow. Whether it is by word of mouth, ads, or commercials, you will need to market. I love using the social media networks to get my marketing done for one huge reason. Every time that I go on there I know that I am going to have fun.
Most of the social networks have some fun games, chats, and forums. I love to play me some mafia wars on MySpace.com, Farmville on Facebook.com, or if you play hash tag in twitter.com marketing becomes fun and enjoyable. You may say well why do you waste time playing the games and not adding more sites to be on? Well, one reason, if you just make a profile and never use it then the only people that are going to add you as friends or even look at your profile are people that spamming. So, complete waste of time in just making a profile.
Let's say that you are advertising your site on Facebook. You are playing mafia wars and you get on the top of the list of best players. People add you to their friends lists just so that they can get up there too. These games require you to gain friends as you go on or you don't move up into higher levels. So, more social interaction is necessary there for people will be more prone to add you if you are playing a game like they are doing.
It's all a numbers game when it comes to marketing like this. For example: one guy adds you to his friends list and his friend adds you then three of his friends add you then another and so on... after a while that one person becomes a hundred then those hundred becomes a thousand. That's just how social networking goes and you have to interact or else your friends list is not going to move.
