The big question is "Can you use social media to make money?", and the answer is YES! Absolutely. Actually there are thousands of people who are out there utilizing social media to earn a living and they are doing quite well. It's really very easy when you know and understand how to do it. If you's like to make money using social media there is a process of steps that you need to follow. And more importantly there are two very distinct rules that you must follow at all times.

(1) Everybody counts, don't think or assume anything about anyone.

(2) If you pester and/or spam people you will lose friends, respect and potential customers.

You can't just plaster your links all over the place, you will get the reputation as a spammer and people will stop following or being your friend. The last thing you want to be is hidden, because that means you aren't making any money. There are lots of social media websites out there but we are only going to focus on the key ones. Twitter, Facebook ,MySpace and YouTube. These are the top dogs you should divert your attention to. But before we get started though let's cover the number one No-No that could affect your ability to make money using social media. When you send out friend request don't just send a blank request and a link to your website. You simply should never ever just blast your links in emails or messages to people you don't know.

What you want to do is introduce yourself, strike up a conversation and find some common ground with those you are reaching out to. If you bum rush your prospect with an offer, they are going to run away. Let's talk briefly about Twitter, this website is relatively new on the scene, however Twitter is definitely a heavy hitter. First of all the way Twitter works is you can see what other people are doing through short messages called tweets. If you wish to connect with someone you can choose to follow that person. By doing this whenever that person sends out a message or tweet you will receive it. Generally when you follow someone they generally follow you back; however you have full control as to who you follow. Now the beauty of Twitter is some people have thousands of followers and their list of followers is completely open to everyone. So you have the opportunity to connect with just about anyone. The content you decide to post will benefit you greatly if it has value.

DO NOT join Twitter and just start spamming your links all over the place. People will unfollow you and most if not all of your post will be ignored. Remember that first of all Twitter is a social network, so you should be communicating and connecting with people. If you cannot think of anything to talk about here is a website to help you out www.stufftotweet.com, this site shows some of the top stories on just about everything.

Of all the social websites out there Facebook is KING! Facebook is an absolute goldmine and if you are using social media to market your business and you don't have a face book account then shame on you. You are losing possibly thousands of dollars. The keys to success no matter which social media tool you decide to use is making yourself visible and providing value. No one cares what you are selling, people think in terms of "What can you do for me?" Plain and simple. YouTube is probably my second choice as the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video must be worth a million
