The Social Media Marketing "Eldorado" Group will be focusing on social media marketing with facebook and twitter, how do these tools differ from traditional ones and how you can, with a little investment of your time use them to your advantage.

We will be covering the basics of facebook and twitter, including the concepts of online marketing in general, giving your business a solid presence on facebook and twitter, and the most strategic use of these tools in the online community.

How to generate fans and followers, and how to drive business to your website or blog. If you are anything like me, and used to see social media as a waste of time, didn't see how on earth it could work for generating business, then you are in for a treat.

Every business owner in the world knows they must advertise in order to maintain or increase sales, but very few traditional brick and mortar businesses understand the power of the internet as a marketing tool to grow their business.

Most brick and mortar businesses invest a majority of their marketing budget in traditional advertising avenues such as direct mail, newspaper display ads and possibly TV and radio, if they can afford it. I believe when it comes to harnessing the power of the internet as a marketing tool, most small businesses simply don’t know where to begin and hiring a local advertising agency can be outrageously expensive.

Not every group is created equal, therefore I believe there will always be something anyone can learn from this group or bring something to the table.

I look forward to networking with both experts and ordinary yet creative individuals who are producing extra ordinary results with this medium.
