Why Do I Need to be involved in Social Media Networks?

{original post here::special thanx}

People love to share their experiences, passions and memories with like-minded people. Social media platforms provide the perfect conduit for creating those connections.  Thirty four percent of on-line users post their comments/opinions about a product and/or brand on a social media platform.  Thirty six percent on on-line users think more positively about businesses that are present & visible on a social media platform.  What all of this amounts to is, even if business owners do not fully understand the concept of  utilizing social media as a marketing tool, we need to fully understand that we {business owners} are no longer totally in control of what is being said about our businesses.  This being said, business owners need to plan a strategy around social media networks that involves their active engagement and participation.

Your business needs to be 'PART OF THE CONVERSATION'

This Blog Follows the Andy Sernovitz' Policy of Comments & Disclosure

(I tried to say it as eloquent and straight-forward as he, but it just didn't work.  So... why reinvent the wheel?  Thanks Andy!)

"You are invited to comment, and I look forward to hearing what you have to say. Comments are open but I’ll delete those that are off-topic, spammy, overly self-promotional, abusive, inappropriate, or uncivil in any way. You can say what you want on your own blog, but you can’t use mine unless you’re cool decent about it.

My comment form isn’t a place for you to advertise. If you abuse it, there is a good chance that I will publicly make fun of you.


Feel free to debate or disagree with me, but please identify yourself as I do here. It’s hard to have a good conversation with a coward someone hiding behind an alias. Anonymity has an important role online, but it also empowers  the cowardly sniper anyone who wants to disrupt and destroy a conversation without contributing. Disclosure forces imbeciles people to be honest and take responsibility for their own words".

And just like Andy, this blog adheres to the Shel Israel Living Room Policy

“If you came into my home and were rude to another guest, I would ask you to stop. If you continued to be rude, I would ask you to leave. From this point forward, this is what I will do. If I feel you are being abusive, hogging the conversation or otherwise discouraging the open exchange of legitimate points of view. I will ask you to be more polite. If you ignore the request, I will ban you from further comments. I call this the Living Room rule and I will enforce it subjectively. … If you have something to say, and you want to be credible, you will need to identify yourself, and I encourage you also to identify where you are coming from, so that others may assess how strongly they wish to value your opinions.”
