Twenty Eleven? Two Thousand Eleven? That’s something I’ll have to play with for a while to figure out but love it or not it’s here and I am ready to attack it. This is a year of exciting productivity for me and my role in what I’m now calling social mediarology. I am jacked. Regular business people are beginning to see that social media is no fad for kids but is indeed THE Media and a major aspect of every business. Even the lawyers are starting to ‘get it’.
This year I will focus on specific packages of media design and management for small businesses of many types. If you run a business know that you need to be budgeting $500, 1000, or $1500 per month to your social marketing or management. This is basically the cost of the yellow page ads you used to run with success. If youre not a funeral home your customers are never going to find you in the yellow pages.
What’s hot in the social marketing now? It’s QR codes, local search, geo tagging, and of course video. Youtube is the top place for lead generation but dozens of new players are available for embeding and hosting. This is my briar-patch and it’s never been so exciting!
I’m already off and running and can’t wait to tell you more. Catch me soon or I’m going to be too busy to give you the time that I can right now.
