Social Media Marketing, otherwise known as SMM, has gained a lot of traction over the last few months. In fact, I’ve been doing some experiments of my own with SMM and have found it to be an extremely effective FREE method of promoting products, websites, newsletters, and virtually anything else you want to promote online.
The problem with SMM is that it can also be VERY time-consuming if you don’t develop a plan of attack.
