What Exactly is Social Media & Why Should I Care?

What is Social Media?

If you own a company and you don’t yet have a Twitter account or have a grasp on other Social Media outlets, this presentation and series of posts is for you.

I’m going to break down each portion of this presentation and explain the importance and relevance it has to business. Whether or not you have ever opened a Facebook account or looked at someone’s Tweets is not important. It’s important that you get involved in the conversation now.

I've Learned my Lesson – Twitter Rocket

I’ll admit, I bought in to the Twitter Rocket idea thinking that it would be a quick and easy way to get some attention, funnel some traffic and make some money. Instead, I got a Twitter feed mostly full of spam and a whole lot of goose-eggs in my affiliate sale’s columns. I read the manual, followed the steps and still didn’t have anything to show for it, but I have learned my lesson.

Quality over Quantity – ALWAYS!

Like I said, I was following the steps, but I wasn’t being choosy. I was just hammering away at followers, but not really getting anywhere. This program works, there is no doubt about it. I’ve gotten my fair share of relevant gurus and followers, but I need to be more selective.

For those of you that may not know exactly what I am talking about, Twitter Rocket is a step-by-step guide to reaching more people using Twitter. It isn’t some scam or a purchased block of followers. It’s a real program that guides you through the process of attracting attention by being useful to the Twitter community. I think I have been useful, I just didn’t choose the best people to follow and I have learned my lesson.

Here’s to a new start with Twitter Rocket and finding the quality people to follow!
