So Much Spaghetti Against the Wall?

August 24 2011, 10:13 Posted in Instructors | 0 comments , 34 views
Tags: social media, marketing, business
I'm trying a new service (well, new to me) today to promote my social media speaking, training, consulting and coaching.  It's called Thumbtack, and it's a free service businesses and individuals can use to promote their products and services to local consumers and businesses.

Cruising through my RSS feeds today, I happened across this blog post on Social Media Today - "The #1 Way to Define Your Online Personality."  This is a critical point to social media marketing I try to drive home every time I have an opportunity to speak before an audience. 

If you're using social media solely to promote your services, sell a product or thump your chest as to just how great you (or your company) are, you're likely ...

I recently wrote a blog post on ActiveRain entitled "Putting All Your Social Media Eggs in One Basket," in which I cautioned about using only one social media platform to represent yourself in the social media universe.  Given the vagaries of privacy rules, terms of service and the constantly shifting world of social networking, I felt it made sense to spread your social media presence by using a few different sites, reach a wider audience and ...

his recent post from Social Media Today caught my eye, and I think it's spot on.  There are predators and prey in the world of social media, but unlike the real world, social media enables us to break away from our genetic predisposition and become whatever we want.  The question is, what do you want to be?

This is a post that caught my eye, only because I'm currently coaching an individual that deals with lifestyle products for high net-worth clientele.  I think the author has some good points, and she's mirrored some of my own thoughts on whether social media can be a useful tool for those of us dealing in the luxury markets.   What do you think?
