Solicit Last

Here I will think about sales promotion in social media.

Solicit Last

If you just solicit people to buy from you or talk only about your business at social media, people will be bored with you. Focus on increasing friends and your fans at the media sites. Do selling just on your own website.
Social media is the place of self-expression, and interactive information transmission. Basically, it is not for sales or soliciting. At least, ordinary users think so.
Users hate and will not interact with persistent sellers. You can not increase fans if you do selling only. If nobody watching, even you appeal yourself very hard, you can not attract customers.
If you are talking about detail of the business, write professionally technical articles at social media, you may collect more competitors rather than potential customers. Your work on social media may result just providing "good information to competitors". You spend time to write articles but it may not be your profit.
Social media has terms and unwritten rules. Persistent sales or aggressive soliciting can be identified as spam, and its account can be stopped.
To utilize social media for business, focus on creating and increasing friends and fans. Do not sell in a hurry, but just lead to your website gently. Make it systematize that people who are interested in you visit your website.
