There are hundreds of social media sites out there. There is no way you can be active member and contributor in all of them, so you will have to choose the ones you focus on. However, there are ways to automate certain tasks, making things easier for yourself AND help all your social media followers at the same time.
For example, it is very likely that you want to share the new blog post you just published, your new YouTube video, etc. In addition to my own content, I also want to share the best blog posts, articles and videos I’ve read or watched.
As I want to send these to Twitter anyway, I should make that process as easy for myself as possible, right? I’m thinking automation! And in the end, it’s quite easy too! So if you want to send the “standard” updates automatically too, this the post is for you!

They say there’s money to be made in the social networks? They say you can make mmmillion dollars on Twitter?
Are they for real?
To be honest, I have no idea. Maybe?

Social networking is not about sales, it’s not about self-promotion and sales. Yes, people are making money via social media marketing, but the reason these people are as successful as they are and can make money through social networks is that they do not DIRECTLY try to make sales or promote themselves and their products. They promote THEMSELVES, in moderation. They have built a personal brand for themselves.

What Social Networking Sites I Should Join?
Some say “all of them”, some say “join the ones you like the most and find useful”. Both great advice, but I like to say “join the best social networking sites and be active in them“. And I”ll share with you those best social networking sites – which makes this kind of a top social networking sites list.
Social networking sites are great for interaction and socializing with others and build your personal brand at the same time. And for most effective online social networking, you should be where others are as well. You own private 1-person network isn’t very social, is it?
First and foremost, to make the most out of online social networking, both personally and financially, you have to be active and get involved. Social networking is about participation and sharing, if you just lurk around, no-one will notice you. If you’re into marketing and want to make money, Do *not* only promote yourself and your stuff, but promote others and things you like as well, and build your presence AND trust through being an active, valuable member of the network.
Like said, you don’t have to use and be in every possible social network out there (as there are hundreds of them), but choose the ones you like the most to use and be active in them. Look for a niche specific social networks if there is one for you, but usually it’s better to be where everyone else is, so consider focusing on the biggest social networks and social bookmarking services..
