Like a tree, your online business is only as strong as its roots. In order to build a strong foundation, you must ensure that your company has a solid core in four key relationship areas that include customer service, product reviews, lead generation and brand awareness, all of which can be enhanced with social media. Your business and online reputation are judged by your actions and presence on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and countless other social sites sprouting up each day. The key to successfully growing your business is to strengthen the critical networks vital to your organization, whether that be Twitter for customer support or Yelp for business reviews, and to then plant as many seeds as possible throughout social media to cultivate new relationships and opportunities.
