Hi galatz,
Great to read that you're looking beyond the traditional methods of marketing.
Can I say that for you to truly understand and leverage the power of social media you first need to understand what it is you are trying to acomplish with it.
If your intentions are to just try and sell a product or service then you will unfortunately fail in thi new for of marketing like so many others have.

Firstly understand that social media has been developed for people to connect not an advertising medium. With that in mind you should be trying to connect with people who hae similar interests in your business niche and then conversing with (valuable) information.

Let's say that you own a rediator business maybe offer your contacts a free report on how to effectively mantain their radiator for best results. I know it might not be the best example but it should get the point across, this is called attraction marketing.
Building a relationship with the client with then give you credibility in their eyes and therefore increasing the chances for a successful business transaction in the future.

Not sure of the industry you are in galatz but if you have an online presence then i would recommend taking my complimentry master plan course, as it will help you understand some of the fundamental principles of marketing from what i call the "back end".

I may work in a different industry than yourself but I would say that the course would still be beneficial to your business trading practices. You can access the course by clicking on the link in my profile/contact info/homepage.

Let me know if you need any further help, love to be of any assistance.

Kind regards,

David.
