Using social network platforms to promote your business is not just something extremely effective it is also a low cost marketing tool. Society is strongly influenced by what they see online. Especially when friends and family are supporting it.

- Choose the right social networks; if your new business is audiovisual, for example, musical; you should join MySpace and YouTube. If your new company is about technology, you have to promote your business on Twitter.
- Create a short biography about your company, indicating the purpose, products and offerings of your business.
- Be active; answer to all your customers, invite your friends to your new Facebook page and generate interaction.
