Looking for a way to start marketing your business using free social media sites? Not sure where to start?
I certainly don’t want to profess to be one of “those” social media experts, but I do have some experience with Twitter, LinkedIn and some of the other networking sites. I know I can offer value to those who are starting to promote their business, products and services through various Web2.0 methods.
#1 Tip: As most people find out, the very first step in marketing with this medium is to embrace two way communication! You can not treat social media like a soap box, a bull horn or a broadcast fax medium. Give and take is the #1 secret!! But you already know that!!
Thanks to Norma Rist, who is sponsoring the RistList Lunch in Akron, Ohio on Wednesday May 13th, I’ll be sharing some of the tips, tricks and techiques that I’ve learned along the way.

Chris I remembver last year when I first started using social media at Lock 3 Park.
Now I have been doing using social media for a year and I am still learning new things, yet all the sudden there are social media experts all over the place.
Most people didn’t even know what Twitter was last year.
Oh well, I just hope some of these people do not give Social Media a bad name.
Social media helps agencies create a more clearly defined focus and differentiating business strategy that will give them a competitive advantage for new business, a higher-profile reputation, and an improved ability to attract and win the clients they really want.
