It is time to understand the importance of social media and your responsibility to maintain your presence on whatever sites you select. Social media is ultimately special because of its interactive nature. Your clients and prospects can post questions, observations, remarks (both good and bad). Because of this, it is important that you consistently monitor your page. If they ask questions, they want answers. If you had a storefront and a customer walked in, you wouldn't ignore them would you? Same for social media.

Facebook , in particular, can be useful not just as a marketing tool, but as a platform that can serve as your website. If you don’t have a website, facebook offers a way to have a “faux” website. It can provide basic information about your goods and services, and it can be easily updated. Unlike a website, it takes no web skills to change the content of your facebook page. So at the very least, this is a pretty safe way to get into the shallower waters of social media. It is important to remember to update your facebook page.
