Connecting to your customers is easier than ever. Small businesses who do not embrace social media are sure to be left behind. I like your statement, “building community around your ideas, and ultimately using your website as a tool to convert know, like and trust into try, buy, repeat, and refer”, (a complete summation of actions that drive and establish customer relationships in a few simple words). I have seen the same idea take place on the social buying site eWinWin, where products that have already built a strong appeal with its buyers can be purchased in a social pricing atmosphere and relative price savings shared between different networks. The refer step even involves direct links to be posted to social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress.

Your way of writing posts is great and I think this was and will be your best strategy to win the attention of your readers. This is a fabulous post. I do many of these things already, but look forward to implementing the others. Keep blogging.

You're right about connecting with users but I think “stick” may be the wrong word- engagement is the real gem, *sticking* is just the bi-product.

In today's world it's not enough to have a site. Personally I agree that using social sites to connect with different people has become a necessity for small business owners but they ought to make their unique and updated content. These two factors can allure more users and subsequently lead to sales generation.

It's also important to be careful about how you approach social media with cilents, though. Social media is such a buzzword at this point that businesses are running around signing up for twitter and facebook and linkedin without a strategy or goals in place. Then what happens is that you have a completely off-brand, lackluster and never updated social media profile that just looks bad for the company.

We have been stressing recently the importance of not getting caught up in the buzz, but rather developing a compelling story, then using a comprehensive social media plan to distribute your story to a targeted audience.
