Social media. It’s more than buzzword to the savvy internet marketer. Tapping into this gargantuan market could send your business into the stratosphere in short order. But how do you know which sites to pay attention to? It seems like there’s a new social media outlet popping up like spring flowers in a meadow.
The truth is, for now, you can ignore most of them. There are four serious players in the field and these are the ones where you should focus your marketing efforts. In no particular order, they are:
1. Facebook.com – This behemoth began as a way for classmates at Harvard to interact. Now it’s getting harder to find someone without a page. Even grannies are grooving on Facebook now. The advantage to your business is the personal aspect. It removes some of the “wall” between business and client.

If you’re starting to think there might be something to this video marketing on the internet angle, you’d be right. As high speed bandwidth becomes available on a widespread basis for the consumer market, it looks like there is a seemingly insatiable appetite for watching videos.
Ever heard of a little website called YouTube? Yeah, you could say it’s pretty popular. Hiding among these millions (billions?) of videos are more than just pop culture clips. YouTube and other video sites are becoming the de facto source for any kind of information to many people – instructional videos are a good example. You learn how to do almost anything there. It seems the human animal is visual by nature; it’s how we like to learn.

Some people are serial entrepreneurs, proceeding with a philosophy of “try a little bit of everything and hope something works.” While we at The Creating Wealth Show are all in favor of entrepreneurs, there is something to be said for doing one thing and doing it well. Yet time after time we see people diving into unrelated businesses simultaneously, bifurcating energy and effort, reducing effectiveness.
Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Donald Trump are all very good at one thing. Yes, after they made a billion or ten they branched out into television or charity ventures out of boredom but you can bet they were focused like a laser while making their first million.
