How do you sort the wheat from the chaff?
o Know your audience. MySpace, e.g., = a younger demographic. Twitter? More for grownups. LinkedIN? Pros.
o Know the media. DeviantArt, e.g., is all about, well? ART.
o Know the RULES. Want to succeed on Twitter? Learn the etiquette before you jump aboard and begin promoting yourself or your business relentlessly.
Hint: One audience’s wheat is another audience’s chaff.
Spend your money WISELY.

Social media is a SOCIAL. MEDIUM.
Hundreds of retailers sell similar things. Those which profit best follow the best PLANS.
Proceeding without even a sketchy plan is a sketchy idea.
Strategic PLANS equal success, not HASTE.

Social Media: Not so simple.
At least, not at first.
Where do you start?
HOW do you start?
WHY should you start?
Is it really worth your time?

Social Media: You Need It.
If you’re not there, you’re not anywhere.
These days, a social media presence is as necessary as a letterhead, a shingle, or an interactive web site.
If you’re not out there, you might as well be invisible.
It’s not just a matter of being “cutting-edge” anymore. Or LOSING the edge.
It’s a matter of falling OFF the edge.
