I really like this sentence: Offer friendship first, without asking for anything in return. A lot of online sellers or bloggers making money seem to forget the value of friendship and is just thinking of what things can offer them. The internet would be a nicer place to live in if this value is inculcated.

The long tail is one of the most underused tactics out there. Every level of business can take advantage of this. I’ve worked with some very savvy real estate agents that dominate on the long tail especially with video. For engaging real time channels I like both Connecta.com and SocialMention.com. Great article.

Thank you so much for posting such a great article! Businesses need to realize that times have changed and if they don’t get on the ‘social media boat’, they will be obsolete soon enough. You have no choice today but to follow your customers..and guess where they all are? 350 million active users on facebook alone, the statistics for social media users are astounding!

Social Media and Blogging have had such a dramatic effect on getting my business out there into the public. I cannot preach enough how important it is!!

I think so many times businesses can’t get out of the mind set of selling. But you are so right, they need to focus on building relationships. Those relationships are where the business will come from.
Thank you for the great points. Even those businesses who have been in social media for a little while already could benefit from focusing on these areas.
