5 Ways to Use Social Media for Things You Are Already Doing
0Great article from Duct Tape Marketing!
One of the biggest road blocks facing small businesses when addressing social media is the question of return on investment. With so little time devote to what’s crying out to be done, adding something else or something new like social media can feel like a real burden.

Keeping up with what’s happening in any industry is a task that is essential these days.

Social Media Revolution
0This video has made it around the Internet a few times now, but it has a lot of really good points. For instance, by 2010 (that’s now) Generation Y (GenY) will out number Baby Boomers and 96% of them are on social networks. 78% of consumers trust peer-to-peer recommendations; while only 14% trust advertisers.
“Successful companies using social media act more like party planners, agrregators, and content providers than traditional advertisers.”
