Når de tilgås på den rette måde, er sociale medier såsom YouTube (som mange af vores kunder har gavn af), LinkedIn, Facebook og Twitter, effektive værktøjer. Disse websteder kan hjælpe dig med at kanalisere dine budskaber og opmuntre til dialog med forretningsforbindelser og kunder, såvel som skabe yderligere basis for højere rangering i søgemaskinerne. Dog kan sociale medier også forårsage et enormt spild af tid, som du måske ville foretrække at udnytte til andre formål (fritid?). De sociale medier er i en fortsat eksplosiv udvikling med masser af initiativer fra nye virksomheder og professionelle arbejdsmetoder er essensielle, idet ikke alle initiativer, som du starter op, kan ændres sidenhen. Når der arbejdes med sociale medier, er det vigtigt at sikre at sikkerhed og troværdighed etableres og vedligeholdes.
Den bedste løsning med sociale medier, som en virksomhed kan anvende, er en "Social Media Hub" (en platform, der integrerer de sociale medier i websitet), fordi:
Dit website får fordel af trafikken, som påvirker dets rangering i søgemaskiner.
Besøgende på websitet får med større sansynlighed set informationerne på dit website.
Det er lettere for dine besøgende at genfinde dit website og information på et velstruktureret website end i de sociale medier.

Husk at den synsvinkel, som du vil indtage, ikke nødvendigvis er den samme, som du kan læse i mange artikler om sociale medier. Pointen er, til enhver tid vigtig; vær kritisk og evaluerende.

More in English
The way it's done today is that we become visible through our actions and thougths, described and posted online.
Our foot prints in the digital universe can be shaped so that they are clearly comprehensive and all together form a good image of our professional lives.
It is important to form a strategy how to spend the resources of your business in this universe which is constantly growing and so easily appear as a babylonic confusion
You are required to both create posts that make sense and also guide your readers to the content you wish to share, and at the same time build your complete image, collecting everything in your central hub: your website.
When approached in the right manner Social Media, such as YouTube (which many of our clients benefit from), Linked In, Facebook, and Twitter, can be an effective resource. These pages can help you channel your messages and encourage dialogue with business relations and clients, as well as gain rank in search engines. However, Social Media can also be an immense waste of time that you might choose to spend in more profitable areas (free time?) Social Media is in explosive development with a lot of opportunism from new businesses and a professional approach is vital as not all initiatives, once entered, can be changed later on. When dealing with Social Media it is important to ensure that security and integrity are maintained.
Please find listed below the most used Social Media platforms in the English speaking part of the world, which if managed correctly, you may find useful. Many listed can be integrated on your website and some can can be managed using tools like UberVu, Sprout Social and FriendFeed.
Remember, the view that you need to take is not necessarily the same as those interpreted from articles containing statistics about Social Media. The point here is therefore imperative: that throughout, you be both critical and evaluating.

Before entering into opening your Facebook account you need to read their terms. Make sure you do that fully. And once you get started, try to take it slow, step by step. It can be difficult to reverse actions once they are taken in Facebook.
Also be aware that the system is not easy to navigate and that Facebook has a tendency to send you to pages that they want you to go to. It's not nescesarily the case that the deeper involvement in Facebook, the greater the benefit.
