This post is for all the businesses out there that have heard of “Social Media” but have no understanding of what it is, how to use it and most importantly how much it is going to cost.

Did you know almost 70% of all social media accounts (LinkedIn/Twitter/Facebook/YouTube) are inactive due to lack of followers, fans, updates, tweets or posts?

Just a bit of advice for all of you using facebook or any social network. If you have a facebook (fan)page for your business make sure you direct your fans to signup to your email newsletter or something else that gets them in a database that you own and control.

I was speaking with a business owner recently about a number of topics and we got round to marketing and then on to Twitter.

Engaging social networks & other ‘free’ technologies costs time & effort. What are some ways to make a financial return from these tools?
