The hot buzzword in Internet Marketing schools is social media marketing. Practically every big media corporation and Internet marketing company is now highly attuned to the benefits of social media optimization. Right now, the Internet is experiencing another period of explosive growth. According to one study, the content on the Internet is expected to grow six times larger from 161 billion gigabytes of information to 998 billion gigabytes in the next two years. Astoundingly, the amount of information diseminated on the Internet was around 3 million times the amount of information published in all of the books throughout history. Much of that information will be put out on a social media platform, through social networking sites, individual blogs, and, increasingly, corporate or marketing blogs, wikis, folksonomies that enable businesses to extend their intended image to every corner of the Internet by sharing content, publishing articles, streaming videos, and online video chat rooms. If you can master social media optimization and avoid the major social media marketing pitfalls, you can become a marketing master of the Internet!
