Social Media Marketing- An Informal Means of Promotion
Social media are websites where people from different corners but with similar interests join a community that is dedicated to their common liking.

A majority of people all over the world are a part of at least one such social community site irrespective of the age or race they belong to. Social Media Optimization is a discipline that is still on its developmental stage and is a fraction of online marketing. It is a more casual form of marketing that does not have set rules to be followed. It does not comprise any banner advertisement or any other form of commercial to persuade people however it works via recommendations particularly made by others. There are some very well-known social networking sites that have options such as like' or fanpage' that work in the form of email marketing. Under this form of promotion you'd initially have to think in terms of general public and not as a businessperson. The foremost thing to do is to become a member of such a site. Likely if you participate in forums or comment on other's status or comments you'd get to build reputation amongst users. The amount of time that it would consume would be like any other promotional program. After having found a base of people or members with common interest, you could encourage them to re-post links of pages. It looks more like a traditional method and it is good to remember that offering link to something that is high on quality is wise. The next step is to provide a link to your website. This is where the actual work starts and so after providing the link it becomes important to update and create a site that is dynamic and attractive enough to compel people visiting your website again. It could be one of the best ways to increase and divert potential traffic. Also you could add videos to build reputation amongst your fellow members.
