Social Marketing is a very powerful way to create massive online visibility, drive traffic and build your list. The challenge for many markers is how do you find the time to do what you need to do to be effective on each site. And to do it in a way that does not take hours a day.

The good news is there are many ways to both automate and integrate our Social Marketing. Let’s take a closer look at what I mean by automation and integration.

Automation – There are actions on each of the Social Marketing tools that can be set up to be done automatically for you, so you do not have to be there to take each action.

Integration – Many of the main Social Marketing tools can be set up so that an action (a marketing message) taken on one site will result in an action (other marketing messages) taken on one or more other sites.

I realize the two statements above may not make complete sense to you unless and until you have experienced them. So let me show you what I mean with 5 of the major Social Marketing sites.

YouTube – Video Marketing is one of the smartest things you can be doing right now, because of the enormous amount traffic coming into this video site. But how do you get traffic to your videos?

Great question, here is a part of the answer: You can set up your YouTube account so that each time you upload a new video an announcement automatically shows up on Twitter and Facebook.

WordPress Blog – In Social Media, your blog is the hub of your system. From your hub you can reach out to Twitter and Facebook when you set it up so that each new blog post is also automatically announced on these two Social Marketing sites.

Here you are taking one action (your blog post) and getting three great results.

Twitter – Your tweets can be automatically sent to Facebook. Some people set it up to have every tweet sent. I recommend using the “Selective Twitter Status” app so that not every tweet is automatically sent. I’ve seen some marketers who tweet dozens of times a day get their account suspended because of too many tweets or too many similar tweets being sent.

Facebook – When you update your Facebook status you can set it up to be automatically sent to Twitter. This gives you great economy of action – one action, two results.

EzineArticles – Set it up so that each time you have a new article published it is “auto-tweeted” to Twitter. The title of the article is displayed in your Twitter stream along with the link to your article.
