Social Media and Internet Marketing Newbie
Yes you could say I am a newbie to the whole idea of online marketing and social media.</p>
Having worked hard at and been successful at a few different careers in Graphic Design, customer service, and most recently in sales, the road of life has finally led me to one of the most intriguing businesses. One in which the world is literally as big as you care to make it.
Although I didn’t stumble completely unknowingly into the idea of the internet. My father Milton Reid having been involved in internet marketing since 2006 selling e-books ,on eBay and membership sites. The idea of it was still all just a mystery to me and did not seem to have any relevance to what I wanted to achieve.
Even up to a few years ago I was not even involved in the social media craze of Facebook, Twitter, etc…. what was it all about I kept asking myself but still couldn’t see the relevance to me. Then something happened. I was working as a sales consultant in Real Estate and I changed companies to a new progressive modern orientated company. It was there that we produced films on each individual property. I learnt to speak and be filmed on camera. It would then be uploaded to YouTube, Facebook and the properties own individual web page. People from all over the world would and did view these properties, some even sold with only being viewed online.
Is social media the way of the future? I think it is and it will defiantly change and mutate from its current structure. Mobile phone to the IPad and the sheer weight of communication access (More people with phones than computers). To the changes in application from political awareness eg: Egypt and Libya And now the emergence of big business taking a hold of the advertising applications.
All of a sudden it just dawned on me about how influential the internet and social media was and how important it was going to be in the world. Wanting to be closer to family I have now left the real estate industry and am going to pursue this new thing I have found.
