A good friend of mine asked me if I could recommend some good sites for social media marketing so he didn’t have to hunt around and try to figure out what was worth its salt and what wasn’t. Separating the wheat from the chaff is pretty challenging when you’re trying to learn about the topic you’re exploring.
If you’re looking for some reliable social media sources, here’s a few places to start:
- Chris Brogan – Chris Brogan is a fixture in the social media community who keeps a very active blog with insights, tips and strategies for leveraging social media.
- Social Media Explorer – Social Media Explorer is Jason Falls’ site. Jason’s blog also provides valuable insights on social media, and features the perspective of other social media bloggers as well as his own.
- Convince and Convert – Convince and Convert is run by Jason Baer, an online marketing consultant, consultant adn trainer who specializes in social media marketing. Jason teaches agencies and companies how to excel at social media marketing, and his blog provides fresh, valuable insights (without the consulting fee).
- Read Write Web – Likely the most trafficked site of the five, Read Write Web publishes on a variety of topics, and social media marketing is a more-than-recurring topic. They’ve been at it since 2003, and the site is updated at a furious pace.
- Social Media Today – Social Media Today aggregates information from various bloggers covering social media topics and publishes the ones they deem worthy of their readership. I’d recommend this as a good way to get advice from a variety of bloggers while being confident that the content is being reviewed by a human that green lights it before you read it.
There’s plenty more out there; I just wanted to provide a few for a friend in need. If you have a favorite which didn’t make the cut give it a shout below.
