Should Social Media Be Used for Marketing?

by SocialNetworking on January 22, 2012

chris.pirillo.com Do you believe that social media should be used for marketing? It may surprise you to find out that practically any use of social media could be considered marketing. You’re using a public medium to share your ideas, thoughts, experiences, or beliefs. You may not be doing it for financial gain, but you can’t deny that you are marketing your very opinion by sharing it openly.

social media is phenomenon! The power of social media is immeasurable lets wait for its further development in the coming years.

the basis behind social media IS marketing as much as it is to keep people connected.

Social Networking websites use user data for marketing purposes.
Professional entrepreneurs use it for marketing.
Even normal users typically use social media to promote/market themselves and talents even if not necessarily for immediate financial gain.

CHRIS , I agree.

I am using social media for marketing. Facebook also is really a big help but I have my own site too.. Social media are all useful as long as we use it in a good way. It helps me a lot.

I’m sick and tired of having companies use facebook. Just give me the official site of the deal and I’ll take it.

Yes social media should be used for marketing. But the biggest mistake that happens is that people attack it with lots of energy, sign up to twitter, facebook, linked in, etc, it doesn’t work and they get bored. Why doesn’t it work, because they didn’t take a step back and decide what they wanted to achieve from social media, before posting like crazy.

@chronofusion If the conversation is over, why are you still replying, idiot?. You clearly lack any logical thinking, so it’s best for you if you spend your time reading smart books instead of wasting it on youtube comments.

You’re right about social media being marketing. But I just started up an ios channel and I am not just like the other ones. I do a vlog type style and on top of that tutorials and reviews. So you’re right about there being no room in tech but only if you do what everyone else does.

@MarkuzLee i’m sorry that you have this ” oh im correct regardless if there is TYPED OUT PROOF of what i said that CAUSED the negative conversational situation to be created” mr. delusion. being more hypocritical doesn’t help your end of an argument ftr. It makes you even LESS credible.Move on.I already said the conversation was over. CAN you even read? I mean i know you can’t or refuse to read what you yourself typed..but at least learn when to stfu. it’s something a 4 yr old can do. try it.
