- Make your website social media-friendly. Add a Facebook Like button to all your pages, invite your visitors to share your content, subscribe by RSS and email, and follow you on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
- Focus on building relationships, not selling products.
- Focus on helping others, not getting others to help you. If you believe in karma, this makes a lot of sense to you. If you don’t, you shouldn’t do Social Media Marketing at all.
- Create great content and post it to forums, groups and communities in your industry.
- Use Facebook marketing.
- Use LinkedIn marketing.
- Use YouTube marketing.

And, finally, learn from the companies winning at Social Media Marketing. In my opinion, this is the best way to learn what works in the real world.
