Blogs are social media, as are communities like MySpace, Facebook, and Squidoo. Forums are social media that have been around forever, it seems. Social bookmarking sites, such as Digg.com, are also social media.

So what’s the big deal about social media? It’s overtaking the Internet due to the fact that it involves people in a conversation. It’s a two way medium, not a static brochure of information. It elicits involvement. People get bored easily when they can’t be involved.

This means that if you’re not looking into establishing some sort of social media into your website, you’re going to be left behind in a big way… and fast.

This blog, which is interactive because you can leave comments, and even bookmark it easily, will help you figure out the way to blending social media into your life, not only on your website, but also in your marketing plans.

Social media marketing is a great way to promote yourself, your website, your offers, and build that much needed and highly sought after traffic.

So stay tuned!
