Online marketing has entered the age of participation. Marketing is no longer a one-way communication; it’s about conversing with your prospects and inviting them to actively engage with your brand. Instead of being on the receiving end of content, consumers are creating it. The emergence of user-generated content (a.k.a consumer generated media) is forcing companies to re-think their online marketing strategies.
What began with social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook has grown into a broader category of “social media”, the combination of social interaction and online media.
Successful social media marketing depends on two things:
1) The creation of viral content, and
2) The dissemination of that content across a variety of social media platforms including blogs, social networks, RSS feeds and photo/video/audio sharing sites
