Welcome to We Do Social Media |

 Social media for beginning businesses Hearing of Flixter, Flickr, Digg, MySpace and literally thousands of other platforms can make the new marketer all dizzy and frustrated. Understand this. You will never be able to dominate ALL the social media platforms out there. But you should also understand this. You’ll experience much better results by dominating 2 – 3 social media platforms than by having a scarce presence on many of them. Translation: Having 1 – 2 fans or members in your group on 100 platforms is much much worse than having 100 fans on Facebook. So, sign up with Stumble Upon, Facebook and Twitter, and test out the waters. Add friends, create groups, pages. Follow people in your niche. Just do something. Create a presence. Provide some value (an informational post, or a link to 1 for example). Also have your contact info displayed and if possible, invite your previous happy customers.
