2.            You Have to Engage and Establish Relationships:  You are not just speaking to the masses you are creating relationships with this type of marketing – you have a captured audience but you are communicating on a more real and relevant level. This kind of marketing lets you not forget that you are dealing with real people. You do not want to open yourself up to people in an unprofessional manner but you do want to share from your perspective. People appreciate it when you do. Social media is all about the conversation first. Don’t just hop on and start blasting your business – people will shut down and shut you off in a minute.

You are a business and you are involved in relationships. Don’t forget you are both. Once you have leads captured, you can turn the contact information into marketing campaigns on the side.
