Are you looking for more ways to get targeted traffic to your website without paying a lot of extra money? Have you heard from some people that social media marketing can be very effective, but from others that it is a waste of time and that there are other ways to make money?

How can you be sure that it will work for you? If you are ready to settle this debate and find out if you really can use social media marketing to increase your profits, then you are about to discover the answer.

You have definitely heard that there is no way social media marketing can help you to increase your sales as internet marketplace is oversaturated.

Take some most popular websites as an example: Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo 360, you can no longer promote and sell your products or services there. What you can do though, is building relationships.

This is one of the few known principles of marketing, and those who understand it are the ones who are making a fortune both offline and online. You see, the internet may be new, but principles of great marketing are as old as the exchange of goods and services themselves. Building trust with people is still of major importance.

Its true that if you litter a social media site with ads and links trying to sell to people, that you will fail miserably. But if you focus on building relationships, you can be assured that you will become someone people want to buy from.

People buy from people, and they buy from people they like. If you post helpful and relevant content and treat people with respect, you are going to get someones attention. That person is going to tell other people about you and those other people are going to tell other people. That is how it works best.

So try to concentrate on building relationship with the help of social media marketing first, and not selling your products.

Be friendly with people, ask them if they would like to comment on you blog or receive your newsletters. There will be many people willing to do so, and with time, when you will become an authority in your specific field for them, you will be surprised with the results you will be getting from this relationship.
