Social networks are booming.
MySpace now boasts over 100 million members, Bebo has more than 57 million and hi5 more than 40 million.
There are also social networks that allow people to share one type of common interest such as YouTube.com for video, Flickr.com for photos, Digg.com for news stories, Del.ic.ious.com for links and Wikipedia.com for encyclopedia articles.
But advertising on social networking sites can be a bit tricky and marketers have had to take a more strategic and creative approach.
Jinger Jarrett hit the nail on the head in the article "How to Market Your Business Using Social Networking".
Read it. It's short, sweet and straight to the point.
You see, the audiences of these sites are younger and these younger audiences are very adept at tuning out traditional advertising. Therefore, marketers wanting to use social networks need to put on their thinking caps and get creative.
There are a number of ways marketers are taking advantage of this consumer-generated media and word of mouth advertising the social networks are bringing to the forefront. Social networks are having an incredible influence on how business is getting done. Orginazations ranging from movie studios to sneaker manufacturers, are changing the way they make decisions, connect with customers and market products because of them.
