The secret to successful social media marketing is to use what you’ve already got. Don’t think you have anything? Think again.

If you’re like most busy business owners, you’re probably thinking to yourself, “I barely have enough time to run my company, now I have to worry about social media?”
Social media can seem overwhelming and daunting, but if you break it down into tiny little pieces, it’s actually quite doable. And with new, affordable management tools on the market every day, the process can be more than worth it to your bottom line.
I just hosted 15 customers at our VerticalResponse offices and talked to them about this very subject. One woman, who sells her goods on eBay, posts to Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter every hour. But another woman doesn’t because she doesn’t really know where to begin or what to say.
This is what we say to people: You’ve got a ton of great content at your fingertips that you might not think is interesting, but I’ll tell you, your followers do! Your followers follow or like you for a reason. Keeping in front of them could get them talking about you to their friends, and guess what? If they’re a customer, their friends are probably a lot like them, which means potential customers for you.
