    As long as you have a targeted audience such as followers followers on Twitter and Tweet about products that are relevant to your average update, that is still an effective way to produce leads/sales.

    Yes, it reaches out to people you normally wouldn't get. Any publicity is good publicity.

    Social Networks are huge asset's to any business in todays world! If people want more information to any business they will search it up online. You need to have the appearance that you know what you are doing if you want to sell anything, even if you truly don't - have lots of Twitter followers and become a part of every social network you come across! You need to "prove" to users why they should use your business opposed to others and have the appearance that you actually have some of the market.

    It does work if you have a lot of friends in your social networking profile. Otherwise you won't get much benefit from it.

    I not really a fan in the concept of social networking, but very recently got involved in setting up a couple facebook fanpages & put a related affiliate product with my link in the info section & then bought traffic through http://www.fiverr.com.

    I know most of the traffic from there isn't targeted to your product, but for $5 it's a small price to pay for someone with thousands of followers on Facebook or Twitter, who will submit your link in their page for a minimal fee.

    Mark :cool:

    Facebook will work if you have a very specific niche or specialty to work with. Things like "make money online" if over crowded and most pages look like a continuos steam of ads. I wouldn't thing that would work, but creative people are finding ways to make social media work.

    On a slightly different note I just recently discovered the site http://www.socialmarker.com/ which is used to submit your site to all the popular social bookmarking sites like digg, delicious, etc. It is a very handy tool that makes submitting to these sites that much faster.

    facebook and twitter are platforms where you can earn quick and easy cash. Social networking sites are viral so be careful when promoting your products over there as word of mouth spreads very fast. As long as what you are offering is great I dont see any reason why it should not work.

    Experience-wise, Facebook FanPage is the most effective social media tool.

    Face book and twitter are only social networking media that help much to get leads but it take some time to build your friends in it.There are many other ways that are more effective then social media with less time consuming.
