Some common problems faced by new businesses that can be solved by social media management tools:

The inclination to buy new everything – when you first start out in business, it is difficult to ignore all the opportunities that abound in other markets. These products may very well do what their producers claim, but it is better to resist the temptation to buy every one of them; star with just one product and only move forward when it becomes a success.
Don’t try to do everything yourself – one of the most appealing aspects of starting your own business is that you get to keep all the profits. But as your business grows the demand on your time and capabilities will become too much and you will eventually have to get help. One helpful piece of equipment is auto responder software. It automatically answers queries for you, maintains and develops relationships with your database, and sell products and services.
Making the right choice – one of the most popular internet businesses out there is affiliate marketing. There are a lot of pluses for choosing this type of internet marketing business, but there are some downsizes also. One of which is that there are so many affiliate marketing programs out there it’s hard to know which one to choose. So try to find out how much commission you’ll make and how well the product sells before making a choice.
Customers will flock to your site – just because there are millions of potential customers online doesn’t mean that your new business will be inundated with customers the minute it launches. There are millions of other businesses just like yours. The key is learning how to generate traffic to your site using both free and paid services.
Don’t get discouraged – friends and family members may be the last group of people who think starting an internet business is a good idea. But don’t let that discourage you. If you plan smartly and keep your goals realistic and seek support from like-minded entrepreneurs you have an excellent chance of succeeding.

Since Internet marketing is less expensive than other mediums, businesses can reduce their advertising expenditures significantly by using social networking as a means of getting their message out to the consumer. In 2012, slightly more than half of businesses took advantage of this opportunity, but that number rose quickly and by 2014 fully eighty-six percent of all businesses had committed some portion of their advertising budget to social media advertising. Nevertheless, there is still much work to be done to convince other businesses of the tremendous opportunity social networking offers.
However, social networking is not restricted to the business/customer relationship alone. Rather, it is an expansive program that allows businesses to spread their wings and venture out into areas where they have never gone before, giving small businesses the potential to become brand names, and brand names to become globally-recognized products.

The phenomenon continued in succeeding years by now more well-known social networks such as Facebook (2004), YouTube (2005), and Twitter (2006).
