Tip 3: Create a Twitter Profile

Once you have setup your Twitter.com account, it is critical that you spend some time to personalize your profile. Most businesses who do not do this will be perceived as spammers when they ask Twitter users to follow them.

When it comes to setting up a personalized profile on Twitter, there’s not much to do. All you have to do is select a pre-existing background (or create a customized one), select your avatar thumbnail photo, and then fill in some short “bio” and “about me” information.

As far as your avatar goes, it is probably a good idea to use the logo for your business; and it may also be a good idea to create a custom background that also includes your logo. Finally, remember to add the URL of your business; and to create a bio section that briefly explains 1) what your business does; and 2) what the purpose of this Twitter profile is (i.e. to give away free stuff, to hold contests, or to provide free information).

Tip  4: Create a Fan Page for Your Business on Facebook

Facebook is one of the most promising social media outlets when it comes to marketing your products. One good way to use Facebook is to create a fan page on the site; and to use it to draw in potential buyers.

Start by investing some time to create a high-quality fan page. This page should include links to your site, a well-written description of what you do, and a brief description of the purpose of your fan page (i.e. to provide all of your loyal customers with free information about upcoming product launches, product give-aways, and coupons).

If you don’t yet have enough “fans” to get the ball rolling, it might make sense to start by giving people an incentive to become a fan. You could do something like this: offer everyone who joins your fan page a 20% off coupon for one of your products. You could then say something like “if this fan page has over 5,000 members by July 10th, every fan will get product X for free.”
