What is Social Media Marketing

Social Media Marketing is an online marketing tactic that seeks to achieve branding and marketing communication goals through the participation in various social media networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Bebo and social web applications such as Digg, Flickr, YouTube, Last.fm and others as well as within 3D virtual worlds such as Second Life.

The goals of each social media marketing campaign will differ for every business or organization, however most will involve increasing product/service visibility, gaining mindshare, obtaining user feedback, selling the product or service.

Social Media has enabled consumers to become contributors, contributing to brand messaging as opposed to only passively receiving communication from marketers. Participatory websites like YouTube, Wikipedia, and Flickr now account for 12 percent of all web traffic*. Having a presence on these sites is a must if you want to market to these pro-consumers.
