Thanks, @LaurindaB I think it's just going to take a little time before you hit your social media “sweet spot.” Just keep implementing what you're learning and that hour or whatever time you set aside will fly!

Rod, wonderfully written and informative article, as always! Whenever introducing someone new to social media, my advice is always: Care. Listen. Engage. Repeat.

If they have the right mindset, the right purpose, and with your tips, the right action steps, their dedication to social media will be a success!

Very good tips. I like to use a method with my clients that I call "Get In Where You Fit In Marketing". It is based on the fact the if you tie your personality and passions in with your business mission then you can find social groups that will fit your style and resonate with your brand.

It is how I get about 90% of my business from word of mouth and the power of Twitter.

You see while I am a business woman, I am also a wife, mom, writer, and avid reader so I search out the platforms in those areas but I make sure they are focused somewhere on my market.If there is a mom group that reads but there are business women there I am there because I enjoy reading and can connect with other WAHMs through networking.

I don't overwhelm myself because I stay within Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and only about 5 to 10 social groups on Ning.

Good stuff!
