Social Networking

a key stepping stone in building your personal brand

Every day you here it from all these so called social media experts. Hop on Twitter, hop on Facebook, etc. Screw that! You should have done that a year ago. I do not care if you are fresh out of high school, or trying to make ends meet before you retire, social networking using the latest offline and online tactics will for sure give you a quantum leap into how you extract helpful resources and friends from the cloud. It is the person behind the tools, however, that will truly reap the benefits of social networking. You slack and do nothing, or you can use offline and online tactics to be a powerhouse in your marketplace.

Not only can you generate leads from social networking, but you can generate co-collaborative arrangement, have your message reach out to hundred, thousands, and tens of thousands of people, all why creating genuine connections. Some of it is straight out, robotic, fuzz. The 5 out of every 100 or so really does make a difference, though. You really just need to start thinking about all the tools as a big freaking party.

I cannot tell you how sadly I feel for those that take social networking, push it out of the way, shun it down, and claim it useless. It is more likely that you are here because you saw me on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Viddler, Ustream.TV, Greenlight Community, Toppler Project or the 5 other networks I am on. How I do it all is a whole other conversation. The great news is that we still have Perry Belcher to explain the process in depth, even though he no longer teaches.
