When I said that you can monetize social media, I'm not talking about using new age marketing strategies to promote your Internet business or blog! What I mean was that you can make money online by becoming the next big thing or by publishing niche related content that targets a specific market or trend inside this new huge phenomenon that is call "Social Media".
With the evolution of the Internet and the birth of Web 2.0 a lot happened. First people notice how easy was to generate their own content, to find information, to find new global friends, to create their own fan base, and how easy was for a regular person to start competing in the same level of massive content websites. In short you found the social media marketing power of "YOU".
Newspapers, magazines, and TV all over the world started giving you credit for your constant contribution to the web, and this is called sociology and technology evolution!... This cool new medium have become so popular that now has its own industry, which make it a big mine of golden opportunities for those entrepreneurs that love to take strategic business action steps.
What Do People Love?
Some of the hot niches that you can find through this new medium are base on a service or network that's very popular or can become very popular, and have a big potential to generate a good stream of income for a third person, in this case that third person is you.
So, when you see a new Web 2.0 tool or community network that is trending, do a little keyword and paid search research to see if there is a chance to build a new small business venture from it.
Some of the ways to get a new 2009 start-up or to make money from a hot web 2.0 trend with content or by creating API base tools are:

I'm getting good at this social media marketing stuff... What is getting on my way a little is the time that you need to invest in it to really make it work!
What do you advice to fix this problem? Really need some help on this.
Oh, and thank for the tips and keyword list!

I'm with Ramon on this one. This type of marketing needs a lot of time from the business owner, Of course if you have a big budget to hire a social media marketing manager or support stuff you are OK, I guess!
But, what about home base business owners or solo marketers that only have them self on the payroll, how can we manage social activities better?
I will be looking forward to read your opinion on this matter.
Thanks for sharing great stuff!
Johnny Mack
Thank you everyone for the nice comments?
For Johnny and Ramon...
Ramon I know you been doing a great job bringing traffic to your blogs, and is good that you are implementing more web 2.0 tools into your marketing mix, but for many entrepreneurs can become time consuming.
Managing web technology the right way can be an important factor for the success of your Internet business.
That's why is better to have a daily action plan with a schedule that you can follow to help you manage your progress and time.
Yours truly,

Nice. Thanks for the tips on current social media trends. It might be easier, too, to just put up a video online on YouTube as well as AdWido, share it with some friends, and watch it spread and get you some exposure (if the video is good enough!).
