As a business owner who's trying to build a business online you'll always going to find yourself competing with others for attention. Fighting to get traffic to your blog or website against thousands of others sites in the niche you are is not easy. However today social media has become the gateway for many businesses to build a following and grow their businesses.

Twitter is one of the best places to get started. It's simple to use and you can build a following of thousands of followers fast if you learn to use it the right way. One of the things you should do is make sure you have a balance between promotional tweets and non-promotional tweets. You should be providing value, tips and information to help your followers.

One simple tip to gain more followers is to place popular social icons in your website where visitors can clearly see them. Offer incentives for them to follow you on Facebook, Twitter and other sites. Things like coupons, discounts and special offers will increase your chances of adding new followers interested in your offers. You can also use paid ads to grow your audience a lot faster.

If you are a blogger then consider optimizing your each of your posts with social media icons. If you have some great content then your visitors will probably share individual articles in the main social media sites. As a result you'll get new visitors and followers which can turn into customers down the road. Content generation is everything online, the more the better.

Don't over complicate things, social media is not rocket science and if you take the time to develop a working strategy it can really pay off. Consider researching what your competitors are doing and understand their strategy.
