I’ve had the pleasure of being an entrepreneur now for 9 years. Some were great. Other were challenging but I’ve learned the value of a live, active and responsive social network, both online and offline. The number one way to crack the code with social and emerging media is to have a blended mix. But, before I go on, I want to hear from you. What have you been seeing as a consumer when you are on the web? Can I have a brave sole give your name, business and your observation. Thank you! A lot of what you’ve been seeing is similar to my observations. But some have trepeditations… perhaps because of not experiencing the kind of breakthroughs they had hoped. In a nutshell, here’s what I’ve believe are the reasons many haven’t cracked the code ….
2 MINS - VIDEO This really confirms where we are today. A WORLD, where social media, and emerging media is a part of everything we do. Work, fun and play.
Listen to life beyond Facebook. http://www.bing.com/videos/browse?mkt=en-us&vid=6d7ba587-d1fb-4222-8257-a16a37ce8b31&from=sharepermalink&src=v5:share:sharepermalink:&from=dest_en-us What this means for you. To crack the code, you’ll have to quickly get used to using your mobile phone to capture video, audio and integrate this in everything you do! Get creative and think outside the box.
