Social Media as Lead Generation
Why It’s Important to be Liked (on Social Media)
Social media has become one of those check-marked items companies know they need to have, but few understand why. For some, the battle for likes and followers has amounted to trying to best your competitors’ numbers, which really misses the point. Social media is about your connection with your followers—not your competitors’ connection with their followers.
Using Twitter to your company’s benefit
As a social media specialist, you’d maybe think I’d feel obligated not to play favorites when it comes to the social media channels I love and use, both for myself and my clients.

Perhaps I could go back to the book but I'm not sure the ROI is great there.

Knowing and targeting your social media audience
Everyone hates spam (the electronic kind, not the lunch meat). If there’s one thing in this world that reminds us we are just one fish in a sea of millions of other demographically similar fishes, it’s spam, a terribly impersonal form of outreach.
Social media done right should create a personal connection between your brand and your brand users or “followers” as they are more commonly known in the world of social media. So, how do you target and reach out to your audience, a sea of unknown fish, without becoming another piece of spam they want to weed out?
