Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:18:44 +0000 http://beaublackwell.com/?p=75#comment-44 I haven't really noticed any benefits to my business from using social media. Of course, I haven't a clue how to really utilize that service to it's full potential yet. I keep reading about "targeting your audience" and all that SEO BS, but I still don't know what any of it means. Until then I guess using something like Twitter is just a hobby more than a help.

Even if you sell ball bearings—and you're right, there's probably not a pent up demand for a ball bearing blog!—there could be comments and questions online that your company could benefit from responding to. I don't know anything about ball bearings, so if I needed some, I'd probably go on Google and look, and then maybe ask my network what they could tell me about what I found. Even if it's only an occasional mention, it's probably worth the few minutes to set up some free tools and have them email you if there's a relevant conversation.
