Social media marketing gurus tell you that you can’t ignore the chatter about your business, your brand and your industry. Social media has corporate marketers feeling the pressure to participate in and steer the conversation. We need to build credibility and become a thought leader, right?
But what’s so genuine, noteworthy, or even social about social media marketing? Status updates to people you hardly know? Networking via 140-character opinions? How many relationships can you truly manage before you’re just adding to the noise?
Businesses need to get found, engage and convert, and while growing in popularity, can social media marketing match a business blog when it comes to creating leads and customers?
In this presentation, I weigh the merits of social media marketing and blogging for business and try to help you prioritize your efforts for the best return on investment (ROI). That is what it's about, right?
A quick introduction on the main aspects of creating a social media strategy for your brand. A version of this presentation was conducted as part of the Startups Without Borders 2020 Summit. You can watch the session here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBvTK5yKWWo&t=693s

Social media & its role in marketing - Grape5Grape5
The explosion of social media websites and its growing importance in marketing communications have given birth to the practice of social media marketing. Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention and encourages readers to share it with their social networks. A brand’s corporate message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it appears to come from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself.

It is not necessary that the product should be yours. There are many ways in which you can acquire products from others. Getting resell rights to products is one way in which you do this. Becoming an affiliate for some website that is selling a product is another way to do this. Here you are not selling your own product, but you are
publicizing it on the Internet all the same. That is why it fits within
the definition of Internet marketing. Affiliate marketing is a subset of Internet marketing.
