Internet Marketing :: Social Media / Web 2.0

Social networks grew from a belief that “If you build it, they will share” and share they have. In the history of Internet marketing, never has an idea proven itself in such a short period of time. Social Media has taken off and millions of users are actively participating by sharing everything from their funniest videos to personal insights on their life’s experiences. Once these proactive social networks linked together online as viable communities, marketing professionals had to rethink their existing Internet business strategies.

Today, most web experts agree the Web 2.0 media concept may change forever how businesses will interact with consumers. The principle that large groups collaborating on a problem can produce better answers than individual experts, has not only caught on, it has become a philosophy for online user participation and consumption. Today, members of social media offer creative personal opinions about products and are eager to rank their overall experiences of doing business online.

The Web 2.0 concept of user-generated value provides marketers with innovative opportunities for implementing ideas that have never been seen before. Companies now have alternatives to traditional methods of conducting business (i.e., giving products away online as step one with plans to charge for premium services or future product upgrades). The marketing processes of pricing, promotion, distribution and even production are being challenged as members of online social communities demand that their problems be solved faster, better and cheaper.
