Social Media as we know is a very hot buzz word.   As a result key social network sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn have grown by leaps and bounds.  Blogging is growing at a phenomenal rate and social media marketing services have  exploded on the Internet marketing scene!

Social news sites such as Digg and Propeller, social bookmarking sites Delicious and StumbleUpon, video marketing sites like You Tube, article distribution sites such as Ezine Articles, RSS Feeds, and social content sharing sites like Squidoo, Scribd, and Hubpages have burst on the scene becoming social media distribution points. 

But with all these new sites with their added bells and whistles there is one common thread…they all must have some form of written content, even videos use scripts.  From the short 140 characters on Twitter to the in-depth information contained in search engines, it all begins with content.

On the Internet, content is king and always will be because  the vast majority of people use the Internet searching for information and the Internet is the information superhighway. 

But if content is king, then surely social media is queen with all the social media marketing points for mass distribution of content.

Enter the copywriter: One who writes copy (content).  But not just any content, it must be…value related/written content.

Value written content builds creditability and trust, establishes you as a thought leader in your field of expertise, and is the basis for building profitable relationships by showing you care…IF it’s seen. 

Value written content reaches your target market, speaks the language of your audience, provides a solution to their  ”pain”, and brings them back again and again…IF it’s seen.   

Social media marketing takes your value written content and using the social media sites positions your content for mass distribution increasing your Online visibility…getting it seen.

In the past, copywriters created the content, but once passed on to the client, visibility depended on their website being found and/or using a mailing or subscriber list, their direct market print material being seen.   

With the onset of social media, it’s offered copywriters a perfect turnkey solution for their clients.  By creating a targeted content and social media marketing strategy  and action plan,  a copywriter / social media marketing specialist not only writes the relevant content, but as mentioned before, uses the social media sites to position your content for mass distribution increasing your Online visibility and providing increased traffic.

For your next project start out with an advantage.  Work with a copywriter that has the marketing skills to do both…Social Media and Copywriting:  The Best of Both Worlds!
