Social Media -- The Outbreak :: Official Video

Social Media is used as a method of Internet Marketing that has become the most popular and valuable type of marketing done online. Social Media is increasing in popularity at such a fast pace, some people refer to it as a "Social Epidemyk™"

Social media is made possible through the use of online tools and applications. The tools allow users to share content, profiles, opinions, insights, experiences, perspectives and media. These tools include message boards, podcasts, micro blogs, lifestreams, bookmarks, networks, communities, wikis, and vlogs.

The purpose of Social Media from a company's standpoint is to generate interaction online with their current and future customers. Companies use social media for marketing, testing products for feedback, customer loyalty, brand recognition, real time statistics on conversion tracking, better online ranking, online reputation management, and to increase the online traffic to their website.

A few prominent examples of social media applications are Wikipedia (reference), MySpace, Linkedin, and Facebook (social networking), Twitter and Jaiku (presence apps), YouTube (video sharing), Second Life (virtual reality), Upcoming, Meetup (Events), Digg and Reddit (news aggregation), Flickr and Zooomr (photo sharing), Blogtv, Justin.tv, and Ustream (livecasting), Stickham, YourTrumanShow (episodic online video), Izimi and Pownce (media sharing), del.icio.us, StubleUpon, and Digg (bookmarking).

Companies that are active in Social Media understand that it has become an essential part of marketing and advertising in Today's age. It is not good enough to simply create a website and expect the highest conversions. The site needs to be promoted through Social Media to have a chance at dominating Google Search Engine results. This has become the reality of Today's "Social Epidemyk™"

to luketsmith from mjlburns:  I saw that ghetto witness. So funny!!! Just fyi, they're not from Michigan!!!! I'd rather hire SocialEpidemyk to do my social media than that fella, although he got his point across...not the way I want my point across! There is more to promoting yourself on the internet than just having a good webpage. They can make a good business better and a bad guy look squeeky clean! Made me ck. myself out!

@mjlburns You should sign up for GOOGLE ALERTS. It's a free service from Google that will let you get an email notification anytime someone mentions your name, your company name, or your brand on the web. That is a great way to see what people are saying about you the second it happens. Moms use it on their kids' names to make sure there aren't any creeps exploiting their children.

WOW! Good statistics. This makes me wanna figure out social media. Where should I start? 

[SocialEpidemyk]

@luketsmith Start by Googling your business name. It should rank #1. What kind of sites come up under you? Competitors? Review sites giving your business a bad name? If you get your company involved in social media you can have your Facebook page rank #2 and your Twitter page rank #3. That is the first step. Dominate the top 3 positions in Google search results for your brand. You will see how much extra traffic this will bring in to your company website.

Check Epidemyk.com for more help.

Well, now I get it----thanks!! Social Media sure is the next informational highway in this technical world. It is an Outbreak, and Epidemic, and the only way to market a business to reach the masses to get results and be successful. No, I'm not involved yet, I'm not even one of the 500 million on Facebook but I see, this is the future or the NOW, and it's never too late! Again, THANKS!!
