According to
CNN MONEY Media Use is Up 82% Worldwide
The internet has changed
how we network and interact with friends, customers and
potential clients. Millions of hours are spent daily on
networking through online groups. Unless your time is
strategically being spent, it is more play time than
profitable time.
Social media has evolved from a place to
reconnect with old friends and share pictures, to a
goldmine for information and a platform to build your
brand. Yet the most effective companies who include
social networking in their marketing mix are seen to post
content that encourages relationships rather than
selling products. The virtual market responds more to
learning more about a the mission, vision and
personality of a company rather than the old standard of
:sell", "sell," and more "sell."
The total number of connections your
content can be seen in one social network is growing
daily, however, the best return on your time investment
depends on how effective you are at choosing the right
network and the pertinent content.
