Social Media and Social Marketing really is a new frontier on the Internet. There are so many ways you can use the major sites like Facebook, YouTube, EzineArticles, your blog, and Twitter. You are only limited to your imagination and creativity.
I continue to get a kick out of the people who say that Social Marketing is just a waste of time on the Internet. Didn’t someone once say that they could only see the need for a handful of desktop computers? We all know how that one turned out, right?
The power of the testimonial
If you want to sell a product or service, we all know that you have just got to have testimonials, right? Testimonials elicit the power of social proof. In other words, You could say your product is great, and some might believe that to be true. But many would remain skeptical, thinking that of course it is easy to say your product is great.
But when other people say your product or service is great, those statements become much more believable. Social proof is one of the most powerful forces in advertising. Why else would they put other people in ads? Especially famous people who have nothing at all to do with the product. This is the power of social proof.
Social Proof Meets Social Marketing
Now let’s take a closer look at the combination of social proof and social marketing on Twitter. For the rest of the article, click here…
You'll love my online magazine, with a focus on helping you:
Maritza, My videos are the top 1,3,4 and 6 positions for my market on YouTube & my website is #1 for my keywords on Google. Now I’ve gotten high paid speaking engagements & high paying clients working with me… This is like a dream come true.
My subscribers have increased from about 160 to over 1200 in about 15 days… I promoted a special in my jewelry line & increased my sales by 1,281%! I have been just tremendously thrilled!
Thank you Maritza for your "Easy Video Sales Formula" It answered three prayers for me. My favorite part was watching you navigate around inside each screen capture software so that I can see how intuitive each one is. I am so happy to learn about the s3 interface. I have not been able to use my s3 account for eight months since I didn't know how to get my media from s3 to my website. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
OMG, I just did it. I “spoke my article.” It took me 3min. I’m so excited! I’ve reached a milestone thanks to you.
As an example of what I’m talking about in this article go to my own “Tweet-Imonials”! http://twitter.com/MaritzaParra/favorites
Martiza,

We have done some, but we need to do more.
Thanks for the reminding us.

Maritza, another article from you with clear directions and practical information. Also enjoyed checking your favorites on twitter. It clearly demonstrates what you mean. Thanks a lot.
Pat & Lorna – “We’ve done some and need to do more” that seems like the slogan for ALL busy internet marketers, eh?
