Social Media

Hello everyone! I can pretty much guarantee that every one of you has heard something about Facebook or Twiiter in the last year. It's pretty difficult to find a business or let alone individual that doesn't have a facebook or twitter account. "Why?" You might ask, social media can be used to stay in contact with people around the world, ie; family, friends, business partners, without having to rack up a huge phone bill or postage bill because they are free. Another social media concept you may not have heard of is Skype. Skype is a video chat site that you download to your computer, you use a webcam and can chat for free to people anywhere in the world. This has saved companies THOUSANDS of dollars. Many business's use Skype to have meetings instead of sending people all over the country to meet with people, they can just sit right in their own offices and have the meetings, yet still be face to face.

Well that's all for this week! Tune in next week to learn more :)

Hello! My name is Jess and I am 20 years old attending Northwest Technical College for Sales Marketing and Management. I am going to be doing my blog on social media. Social media can be a very helpful tool for a business, if it's used in the correct way. Some social media sites that are popular right now are; facebook, twitter, among many others. Throughout my blog I will be explaining how to utilize these social media sites in order for your business to get the greatest success.
