Social Media: The Hip and the Hype

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

With social networking sites now accounting for over 20% of all time spent online and 25% of page views in the US, it’s easy to see how a strong social media presence can be a valuable marketing tool.  But with so many options out there, it can be difficult to figure out which sites are a good investment of your limited time and energy.  In addition to Facebook, do you really need to be active on Google+, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, blogging sites, and so on?  Would you like to know which popular new sites you can ignore, which you might be using that you could drop, and which ones you really should focus on?

Facebook Fortunes: How to Market Your Business on the Biggest Social Networking Site

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

We kicked off the second day of the Social Media TeleSummit with Facebook expert Shama Hyder of Click to Client, LLC.  Her tShama Hyderopic was Fruitful Facebooking: How to Leverage the Social Giant to Further your Biz and Brand.

I was really looking forward to this call, because as much as I resisted Facebook and was forced into using it, I really like it.  I have gotten back in touch with so many friends from high school (North Allegheny, Pittsburgh, PA) and college (Indiana University, Bloomington, IN) and its been really fun.   That said,  I could spend hours on Facebook and I have a business (two of them actually) to run so I was anxious to learn how to more effectively use this powerful tool

Just learning how to automatically post my blog on Facebook was enough, but I learned so much more on this call.  I learned some techniques to using Facebook in just 15 minutes each day and the difference between groups and fans.  Very helpful for me!

Thanks Shama for a great call.  You certainly understand the big and constantly changing world of the social media giant.
