From The Street:

Are you curious if social media works? You should be! Within the last 60 days Facebook has grown to over 480 million people making it the 3rd largest country in the world. LinkedIn has grown to over 70 million. Twitter is over 120 million.
So you are on the fence, thinking and thinking instead of doing!

Here are 4 reasons to get started:

Referrals: YES! I just conducted a seminar yesterday on social media and I surveyed the room over 40% stated they were forwarded a post on social media from a friend to attend my seminar; that is a referral in my mind.

Social media defense: Protecting your brand and listening is one of the best ways to protect your brand. Use tools such as Google Alerts and Alterian to help protect your brand.

Competitive intelligence: Monitoring your competition is critical in business using tools such as Hootsuite you can register your competitors name and monitor their activity.

Fan page: Facebook offers you the opportunity to build and develop a following and have your followers engage in conversations to increase sales.
