Social Media Marketing Tips by Ann Smarty
Launching Viral Content Buzz should give you an idea of just how passionate we are about social media marketing. The open dialogue between followers, the chance to share links, keyword and reputation monitoring...social media is the digital marketing tool that for years we couldn’t even dream of.

It will be harder to get them to follow you once you have started making an effort. The right social media marketing plans have to be implemented right away.
