Some marketers say that social media has no ROI. I'm in the mood to argue, so I'll disagree here. If social media has no ROI, then what is the point of putting an effort into social media networking at all?
Why do you need a social media networking strategy to get all the social media tools to work for your business if there is no intention to turn those plans into something tangible in the long run? If social media is employed for the purpose of a business tool, why shouldn't it bring you money? So, there should be ROI, over time. Let's see how social media can help you make money.
If we take it in the context of socializing per se, then yeah, there is no return on investment. Why should there be if it's left at that? Social media is great for these:
* Building brand identity
* Building your community
* Connect with new people who can be potential customers
* Build relationships to develop a loyal following of supporters
* Customer service platform for instant feedback & interaction about your product/service
* Reputation management, to deflect bad press and contain negative influence
* Broadcasting platform to announce new products/services/events/promotional campaigns
But, in due course, if employed to strategically produce for you, it is also great for these:
* Increase website traffic
* Gain links to increase search traffic
Technically, the tangible worth of social media for you lies in it's capability to:
1). Build up viral content. This happens when a valuable content in your site is effectively broadcasted using social media channels to massively circulate far and wide into the web by means of sharing, transmitting through word of mouth, or reproduction. The more viral your content goes, the more your site is publicized into the web.
2). Build up link baits. A link bait is content made for the specific purpose of baiting other sites to link to it. They're lured to link to your site voluntarily because of content they find useful to them. The more sites link to you, the more your site spreads out, and gets publicized.
These two benefits are converted into these possible money-making outcomes for your website:
1).Valuable traffic
Traffic comes from the large amount of visitors from across the social networking sites your content is circulated. This traffic gains your website:
* a loyal following of supporters who may come to your website again and again, convert to actual sign-ups, actual sales, generate customer satisfaction, create repeat sales, and so on and again.
* the massive potential to generate online recommendation for you by way of secondary traffic- people who get sent to your site via those people who have directly linked to you
2). Valuable links
Social media has the ability to give you many high quality links for free. This should translate into improved search engine results for your website. The whole point of doing search engine is about extending your reach to more people. When a great number of other sites link to your site, it means your site is naturally gaining a recognition for being useful to people. It then becomes more searched out by the online public. More links mean more search, more search mean more public interest, more public interest mean more potential customers your way.
As a result, all these buildup should, in effect, translate into an urge to get your followers to click through your posts and purchase your products.
Social media is an extremely influential structure that can transform your website into a money-making medium over time. There is business to capture and money to be made through your social media hard work. It is a no-cost tool for all your promotional efforts. It can build you up, give you web presence, and eventual social media fame. If effectively employed to make your site more valuable to your target audience, it has the power to obtain a massive amount of visitors to your website, potential customers who may come back again and again.
To obtain it's fullest capability to intentionally capture potential customers through strategic marketing, social media needs to be incorporated alongside other forms of advertising. Social media cannot work in isolation. It needs to be built in with a well-thought out social media marketing strategy to target other websites or search engines. That is how it can help you make money.
For the reason that social media websites can be effectively managed and fitted to complement other advertising strategies to acquire links and generate better search rankings, it is therefore a money-making business tool with the potential to boost your site's income by a long way.

Over the years I've been viewed around the circuit as an intelligent and committed businessman. So I often pride myself for being the multi-dimensional athlete that I am. Extremely grateful for the gift that God has given me, yet being keenly aware that I will not pitch forever. I choose to use my platform as a professional athlete to foster my growth, as well as the growth of others in the world of business. Jasongrilli.com serves as the connection of my business to yours.
