How Social Media Marketing Helps You Get a Business Loan

If you have not heard about Social Media Marketing (SMM), then you are missing one of the greatest marketing opportunities on the planet right now. This type of marketing takes a chunk of the power away from the search engine monopolies, and returns it to the hands of people like you and I. We rely on the internet to do business, and now SMM gives us the right to add our vote to website content that we like.

All small business owners seeking small business loans or any form of business credit or financing absolutely must use this marketing strategy. Why? To increase sales, of course!  No matter how valid your need is for financing, a lender will shy away from handling your loan if your business does not show growth through increasing sales. After all, how can you make your monthly loan payments if you don’t have money coming in?

Social media voting is a sure-fire way to increase the amount of qualified traffic to your website. Here’s how to do it:

1. Write an exciting/interesting/attention-grabbing article, relevant to your business and post it on your website.
2. Get a username & password for popular social media sites such as Stumbleupon.com or Digg.com.
3. Submit links to your article on the social media sites.
4. Send the new link on the social media site to everyone in your network with a request for them to vote.
5. Add a bookmark button (get 1 from Addthis.com) and place it on the original article on your site.
6. Get everyone in your network to go to the article on your site and click on the bookmark button to vote.
