Build your social media and digital leadership
Back a decade ago, online was hard. Now it still is, and it is also confusing! $250,000 was a big investment; tech was expensive. Since then DIY came in, with free websites and everything else. So there was a huge proliferation in all of the websites that were going “online”. The new problem is how to connect all of the different pieces together – the social media, the SEO, the website, the lead generation, and of course the Return on Investment.
People don’t want more content; they want better content. Add value, not volume.
It’s easier than you think. It will only hurt a bit
It’s more about creating the connections.

Videos: Is facebook or Youtube Your better choice
Doesn’t need to be a Hollywood production – start small
Not to be confused with videos that killed the radio star.
Picture Posts – are your key to your content strategy
You can use 1-2 in Twitter & Facebook; 25-30 in Instagram
