Social Networking Taken To the Next Level With Posterous

You need a great web design to get business from the internet!  Not anymore!  With all of the free social sites on the internet you can get more free advertising for your small or medium sized business than most could ever afford to pay for.  Now don't get me wrong, a great website is important to your business as well, but not as critical as it once was.

The social networks online are all the rage these days.  Facebook and Twitter is constantly in the news, and you can now follow your favorite TV newscaster online.  I was at a coffee shop today with a client and couldn't help but notice the flat screen TV on the counter with the "Follow Us on Twitter" advertisement.  It's difficult to read a newspaper without seeing a Facebook or Twitter ad associated with a business ad.

Small and medium sized businesses have an opportunity to compete against the mega companies.  Think about the free advertising you can get for your business these days.  And the reality is that your customers are there, and many of your competitors are not.  So the time is now.

So the point of this post is to tell you about a publishing service that I'm trying out.  It's called "Posterous".  With this system you simply post an article, video, picture, mp3, or all of the above to "Posterous" and it is broadcast to many of your social network accounts.

So over the next little while I'm going to be posting to; Facebook, Twitter, Buzz, YouTube, my WordPress blog, and several other accounts.

What this means is that you can simply post an article to one place and it gets broadcast to most of your online properties.  The value is that your message is broadly distributed without spending hours at the computer.  You can even post by email from your smartphone including video and images!

I'll keep you posted on how "Posterous" works for me.  In the meantime, you might want to check out this site; http://posterous.com.

Enjoy!
