The Social Networking Phenomenon! Are You in the Game?

Blogs, Twitter, LinkedIn, Flicker, Facebook, YouTube… yikes! Are you paying attention? You can decide to throw up your arms and say, “What a bunch of hooey! Why would anyone want to be followed, friended, linked, or write a post once or twice a week? And that YouTube is a bunch of nonsense!” Let me tell you, ignorance will not be bliss in the world of social networking. I just heard of a company who made locks, ya know, the kind for bikes to be secured at school or other public places. Someone discovered that a simple ball point pen could pick their best selling lock. That person used a simple video camera and recorded themselves picking this high-end lock with a pen and posted it on YouTube. Views of the video skyrocketed and it became a viral hit on the internet. The lock company was made aware of this and decided to ignore the social media and remain ignorant to its power.  

In a few short months, their lock sales plummeted. When it comes to social networking ignorance can put you out of business. I understand that it can be very confusing, but you need to get educated and begin using this powerful tool to grow your business and build your brand. It’s not as difficult or confusing as you might think. There are people who can help you. If you need help or simply want to know more, please contact Scott Grall.

Please don’t be ignorant to this enormous monster that is social networking. Learn how to tame it and take control of your voice on the Internet. Joe Kiedinger
