Word of Mouth Marketing: Using Bloggers to
Promote Your Business
Word-of-mouth or social media marketing isn't actually about generating
word-of-mouth messages -- it's about identifying and working with
key influencers to deliver your messages organically via third-party
endorsements. And, when word-of-mouth marketing works, it creates
buzz. People start to communicate in positive ways -- online or
off -- about what you do or make.
