You and your competitors are all trumpeting pretty much the same features and benefits. And you\u2019re both making promises that your particular product has more value.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingforsuccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/social-media-profiting.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4777\" title=\"social media profiting\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marketingforsuccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/social-media-profiting.jpg\" alt=\"social media profiting\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This creates a \u201cfog\u201d and the prospect can\u2019t really discern which is the better option. So it turns into a game of who offers the biggest discount. So you\u2019re bleeding profits while fighting over crumbs.<\/p>\n<p>What does this mean for you? It means you\u2019ve got to gain an edge. But how?<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, the rules of the marketing game have changed radically \u2013 something I already mentioned in The New Profit Rules. <strong>And you must adapt to survive.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nAdapt to what?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at these eye-opening statistics. 78% of consumers trust peer recommendations while only 14% trust advertisements. Now let that sink in. This means your ads and direct mail and most of your online marketing is less effective now.<\/p>\n<p>What matters is word of mouth. But twisting the arms of your existing customers to send you referrals is tough as nails or yields few results. At least that\u2019s been my experience having worked with clients for many years now.<\/p>\n<p>Register for this one-time only telesummit to get a crash course in social media marketing at:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingforsuccess.com\/socialmedia.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>https:\/\/www.marketingforsuccess.com\/socialmedia.html<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now here\u2019s another statistic for you. The second largest search engine in the world is YouTube!<\/p>\n<p>Right now, 300,000 businesses have a presence on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>And by the end of 2010, Generation Y will outnumber Baby Boomers and that\u2019s important to know because 96% of these people have joined a social network.<\/p>\n<p>By now you probably see where this is heading. I\u2019m going to talk to you about social media. Look, at first I thought most of it was overblown hype too. And I first thought there was no way you could reliably build a business on social media sites. I\u2019ll even be as transparent to say that I at first thought these sites were mostly for people who had too much time on their hands or they just wanted to connect with friends.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s all changed after I started talking to some social media marketing experts. Now what I\u2019m finding is that social media marketing is where the action is. And those businesses that build a presence now \u2013 they are the ones who will rule their niches for many years to come. The fact is \u2026 social media is here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>And having a presence on social media sites is getting to the point of being as mandatory as it is to have a website for your business. People are starting to expect it.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in discovering how to use social media to grow your business?

Let\u2019s say you own a business, and you don\u2019t have a following on Twitter or Facebook, but your 2 primary competitors do. Who do you think people will do business with? You tell me.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, another example. Let\u2019s say you got smart and at least set up a Twitter account and had 50 followers. Fine. But then let\u2019s say your 2 competitors have Twitter accounts too and they both have over 200 followers on Twitter. Who do you think is going to get the business? The answer is obvious, it won\u2019t be you.<\/p>\n<p>Can you begin to see why it\u2019s absolutely critical you establish a presence on social media sites and build a large following?<\/p>\n<p>It is an absolute must that you get started as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>But maybe you\u2019ve heard about social media marketing and you feel that it\u2019s a good idea but you just don\u2019t have the time or you don\u2019t have the interest to learn how to do it.
