If you are a subscriber to BIZxUSA.com, then you are interested in marketing your product(s) or company online. BIZxUSA is a site that supports and teaches the ways to market using relationship building via social media. Social media is considered to be any type of website or forum that promotes personal interaction between users. The most popular of these include social networking sites such as My Space, Youtube, Twitter and Facebook; blogⁱⁱ sites such as Blogger.com, and Article sites such as Associated Content and Gather. While the sites mentioned are among the most popular, there are literally hundreds of these types of sites that are visited daily by millions of people. What are these sites, and how are they used?

Think of the various sites as rooms or areas of your home. A blog site could be compared to the family room, or den. A blog should be as warm and friendly and inviting as a family room. The blog should represent your personality and be a place that allows everyone who visits to take part in an easy going exchange that is totally you. Remember, this is relationship building.

The article sites can be thought of as the library (if you had a library in your home). The library has a diverse amount of content. The content is more formal, usually professional in tone, and divided into categories. Libraries (article sites) accommodate millions of readers every day. The article you write should be informative, entertaining, or should reflect your life experiences. Visit some article sites to "get a feel" for the types of articles that other people have submitted.

Social networking sites can be compared to a backyard barbecue. These social networking sites attract people who want to have fun. Informality is the order of the day on the social network sites. Anything goes. Just as you would eat, drink, listen to music and maybe play games as you would at a bbq, so would you share these types of experiences when socially networking.

VERY IMPORTANT: Remember that all of your product and company promotions will occur OFF the social sites. You will do all of your promoting by using capture pages, auto responder emails, landing pages, etc.
