Social Media is a “Thank You and Support” ecosystem in which you need to give away quality content (video – blog – podcast – etc…) for FREE to draw interest for your brand, your business, your services or your products. The word of mouth in Social Media is so much more effective and powerful then ever before thanks to tools like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Blogger and many more, which could be used for FREE by users to give them a voice.

You need to be aware of the fact that you don’t control the message any more – the users out there control the message and businesses need understand that. The game has changed considerably. So what companies need to realize is that they will just endure in this new ecosystem when they listen, react and communicate with their users and customers out there.

Basically they need to give a shit and care about their users and customers!

More content value you spread out there for FREE through Social Media, more people will talk about it – more feedback for your business will be a result of it, which will be converted positively into brand recognition and increases the potential to monetize.

Content is King - Marketing is Queen and runs the Household

But putting out valuable substance is just not sufficient to be successful, it’s just part of the way – now you need to hustle, spread the word become part of the communities relevant to your business and live in it. Be supportive and help people in those networks and they will pay it back to you multiple times. That’s the key and that's how it is.

Always keep in mind, the first step to be successful – the better your content is, more word of mouth you will obtain out of it, more it will profit your brand and your business.

Small town rules apply in global business now

Due to the social media tools like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Tumblr and others the world has become closer, a small town ecosystem. For today’s business, small town business rules apply in a globalized business economy.

Everything is connected and everybody knows you, your business and your brand. So I am wondering how this will be handled by existing businesses and brands which aren’t use to care and give a crap about their users.

The rules of 1950’s will become more important when building a business and a brand. So you need to care about your customers and apply some of those rules to stay in business. Think about it.

What are your thoughts about that?
