The Internet is changing every facet of our lives, changing revenue models of many industries and most people don't even have search marketing strategy right yet, let alone social media - heck many don't event know the difference!

While there are, of course, some people more qualified to speak on the subject then others, not one of them is an expert. Why? Platforms change daily. Twitter works fantastic for some brands, LinkedIn is best for others. Every expert pitches what’s worked for them; if you’re not following the same business plan with the same goals, it’s probably not going to work for you." For a beginner. though, who can you recommend? Many months ago, I joined a membership site of somebody claiming to be THE authority in social media. He showed a sample marketing plan. I was overwhelmed! I could not figure out how he could generate so much traffic without overworking himself to death. Sure there must be an effective and efficient way but unfortunately I wasn't able to learn it from him (just by joining his membership site). Now that somebody who has been in the industry for more than a decade is personally helping me, I now slowly understand the things I was was reading from that membership site. My point is - Books, membership sites etc would overwhelm you. If you're ordinary like me, then the right mentor is a MUST. You also mentioned in your About page "I’m also proud to call myself a Christian. I view my success as an opportunity to help others who may be less fortunate.". Am happy to see Christians genuinely helping others. My mentor is also a Christian and I count it as a blessing from God. Thanks Tim and God bless. Jose You said, “There ARE no experts.

Heck, remember the SOCIAL in conversations and real life engagement, too." Who wants to deal with a bore IRL and online? Not many people. Be considerate and get to know people. Doing business should be much farther down on the list. My favorite quote is this – “Remember the SOCIAL in social media.

The most important point is not to try to do it all. Social media is such a buzz that we try to take part in everything. Pick no more than 3 and then only if you keep focused on your income. As you said followers don't pay the bills, customers do. Great post. The most important point is not to try to do it all. Social media is such a buzz that we try to take part in everything.
