Social Media Real Estate - Stake Your Claim!

If you are just starting to get into the social media world it can be hard to know where to start. We here at Alter Imaging, believe that different social media sites are more or less effective depending on what type of business, vertical, or industry you are in.

However...

Knowing what will be the next Friendster Twitter is next to impossible. So we recommend staking claim in as many social media networks as you can. Not only to make sure that your usernames are consistent and branded across all platforms but also for the inherent SEO benefits that comes with web 2.0 sites.

Finding and signing up for all these different social media networks can take FOREVER, but not anymore! Knowem.com is a pretty nifty site that gives you the ability to check username availability across hundreds of social media sites

Just enter your name and click “check it”. Boom, Done.

Not only is this a great way to grab up your online real estate but it is also a good resource for finding new and popular social media platforms. These new discoveries could be utilized to find niche customers in their respective online habitats and leveraged (in a social way, remember) to help you meet your businesses goals.
