One-Size-Fits-All Solutions for Social Media
People frequently ask me for a 'One-size-fits-all' solution to make money using Social Media. I tell them that it really depends on THEIR goals and I sometimes get the feeling that they think I am stalling. But it is true, one person's goal might be to get more customers to walk into their physical shop whereas another my be looking for speaking engagements. Trust me when I say that the 'right' sites for the first are not necessarily the same as those for the second.
Next, they look for one single, foolproof strategy or tactic and again, we need to fully define their needs, assess their current status on social media and determine their time and monetary budget before we can come up with a strategy and tactics that will help them achieve that goal. Here is a brief analogy to help clarify these concepts. |

LinkedIn News and Tips...
- LinkedIn Recommendations: You need at least three for your profile to be considered 'complete'. A great incentive to get - and give - a few!
- Videos on LinkedIn: You CAN upload videos to your LinkedIn personal profile, via the slideshare application but to do so you need to upgrade to at least the Silver, first level, paid version of LinkedIn ($19/month). If you do have a lot of video, it may be worth it as that level allows you up to 10 videos a month.
