\nSocial media creates many opportunities to grow your business. I love the ability to build relationships in my home town and across the world.<\/p>\n

Social networking is similar to networking at events. It’s just faster and easier. It takes a little longer to develop good, strong relationships. But, it’s nonethelesss possible to create outstanding, mutually beneficial relationships.<\/p>\n

One of the relationships I have developed is with Social Media Expert Brian Adrian<\/a>. Brian and I connected through Twitter. We initially connected by replying to messages we had posted publicly on Twitter. That led to a few direct messages and then email exchanges.<\/p>\n

I will talk to Brian for the first time April 1st by phone as I’m being interviewed on his BlogTalkRadio Show<\/a>. That is the power of social media<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

One of the reasons that became possible is that I am very transparent on the internet. I put myself out there as an expert. I share information daily that helps create value for people. I am honest and sincere and I strive to do my best.<\/p>\n

Share Information and Create Value<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/div>\n

I follow a simple rule in marketing my business. I make my messages are 80% informational and 20% promotional. I look for ways to share information and create value and as an aside, I promote my business. I think you can be successful by being of service to other people. And I get a lot of positive feedback from people because of that.<\/p>\n
