Social media is just now moving to the mainstream for real. Small businesses have to recognize that not only are there certain types of social media that may or may not apply to your situation but that there is a serious time commitment required to do it correctly. You need to step back and ask "What am I trying to accomplish with this?". Is it to create some interaction with existing customers? Is it to "sell" new visitors? Is it to showcase successful implementations of your printing process? I believe that the best place to start for most SMB's is a blog. If done properly it can also have the residual effect of aiding any SEO efforts that you are working on as well. As for a simple "How To"? I am sure you can find something but I would argue that it would be too watered down since customization of social media programs is critical. there is no simple path to social media success. Sorry. I hope this gives you something to consider. Call me if you need more info. Thanks, Frank ER,

There's so much information out there, it's hard to know what's useful and what's to be ignored. Is there any simple "how to" advice for those of us who offer basic business-to-business services online?
