Finding a job is more difficult than ever. Job search sites have many listings but the chances of actually getting a job with these services seem almost impossible. Social media is a good alternative to traditional job search sites. It is a great way to build your personal network and help you find employment. This is how it works:

Every business website should have a fresh and engaging blog and it should always be monitored. This takes time and discipline. But what if you can’t write? The good news is that a blog requires more than writing skills. It needs good ideas and content – and some basic organizational skills. People like blogs because they are written by other people, and not by slick corporations.

There are many good reasons why lawyers and law firms should be using social media marketing. It is inexpensive. It adds to your client list. It drives traffic to your website and it is an ideal way to brand your practice and interact with prospective clients. Many law firms are already engaged in social media marketing.

When you are growing your business or blog, a link from a popular blog can help you tremendously. It will bring you more visitors and hopefully some secondary links or traffic from other bloggers who follow the popular blog. But how do you get a mention and link from these influential bloggers?

Social media has permanently altered today’s Internet marketing landscape. It is not enough to have a website even if it is informational and well-managed. Many businesses engage in some kind of social media marketing now, whether it is blogging, bookmarking sites, forums, Twitter or Facebook. But not every business does it right. You need a social media strategy. Do you have one in place? If not, here are 5 important steps for creating and maintaining a successful social media presence.

There were a lot of good social media marketing campaigns in 2009. There were a lot of bad ones, too. We will skip the bad ones - here are the five that we like the most. They are original, creative and they cut-through-the clutter with minimum expense and maximum ROI. You may disagree, you may like others and we probably missed a few. Please feel free to comment on these or any other social media campaigns you like.

Social media exploded in 2009. Twitter alone grew over 900% this year according to Nielsen Online. Meanwhile, Facebook continued to colonize the world - adding another 50 million users for a total of more than 350 million active users in 180 countries – and 50% of them log onto Facebook every day.

Twitter is a social media platform that lets the world know what you are up to. There are millions of Twitter-addicts now and the number of active users has increased by 900% in the past year.

There are plenty of advertising agencies that still don’t get social media or don’t want to get it. It’s the Fear Factor – fear of the unknown, fear of change, fear of losing their client’s business, etc. Whatever the fear - they better overcome it fast.

Almost 1,000,000 websites arrive on the internet every month. Out of of all these new websites only a few get the select spots in the search engines and the rest get lost in the shuffle. Why? Because their content does not allow them to get there. Both internet users and search engines demand quality – or “killer” - content.
