The victory of Barack Obama is a perfect example of what social networks such as Facebook and You Tube can do to promote your business.
Obama’s campaign saw him use social networking sites such as You Tube, Facebook and the use of blogs to gain personal access to millions of people that he otherwise would not have been able to reach.
Social networking guru Barnaby De Palma of Alive Online says this is an excellent example of the power of social networking and how it can be applied to ordinary business.
“Social networking is not just for young people or a time wasting site as many people believe and Obama’s campaign has been a great example” De Palma said.
Social networking is a powerful tool and anyone in business should be learning about how they can use it to help promote their business De Palma said.
“Facebook has over 70 million users and the fastest growing demographic is over the over 25’s, there is massive potential to gain exposure for your business and the part is that it is free” De Palma said.
Facebook has many great applications that can be added to help promote a business and is an excellent networking tool De Palma said.
“I run workshops teaching people about web 2.0 and the impact it can have on a business, the clients are amazed as most of the sites are free but are extremely powerful” De Palma said.
Obama’s campaign is a sign of a new age and all business people need to get smart about using the internet De Palma said.
