Sure, Facebook is popular, but don't underestimate the benefits that can be gained from using other sites. This provides a higher level of visibility, which will yield more sales. The blog-feed application can be used for showing your blog posts through your LinkedIn page. After the article gets posted, it will show up as updated in the LinkedIN profile. This will not only save time, but will also garner you more exposure. Following any ads on the various social media pages are intriguing, as well as photoshopped images. They do the job of attracting potential customers in a very clever way. Capturing the viewer's interest is the first step in winning them as a customer.

Getting the most from your media strategy boils down to choosing the most appropriate social networks to accomplish what you want to achieve.
