Creating Social Media Epidemics

Viral Marketing through Social Networking

I am not going to waste your time giving a sermon about social media and how it’s the future of marketing and, in truth, business. The fact that you are reading this is evidence enough – social media is here to stay. If you didn’t know, now is a good time to accept it and move on. This book is written to be concise. It is written for business, as I have no interest or desire in helping your Facebook page become the most popular among your friends. There is very little fluff here, just the meat & potatoes. Let’s get to it.

There are six areas I want to address with you in the book. They are:

What is defined as social media.

The Best Social Media choices for business.

The foundation you need to perform successful social media.

Social media as a tool for business objectives, especially how to make money and how to capture data.

Ways to make your social media blow up into a viral frenzy.

Dangerous social media pitfalls to avoid.

Social Media Defined

I had a social media instructor tell me social media are internet-based information distribution methods.

What??? Let’s put this in real terms for business.

Social media is a tool to get your message out virally, cheaply and with a large amount of control. That’s it. It is a tool. How does it get my your message out? Through social networks. That means it does it using your customers as your personal word of mouth army.
