Step 1: Engage!
Start conversations and add value to the conversation (just don't advertise your product). Ask and answer questions. Pick one media and just start! Could be any of the more popular ones like Face Book, Linked In or Twitter. There are many others.

Step 2: Share
Find out what your audience is interested in. Create, promote and share valuable content. Make friends!

Track the number of friends or connections you have. Measure real business results such as the effect of Social Media on the number of visits to your blog or website.

  1. Hi Richard - First off - Great meeting yesterday! I am sorry I had to leave early but I left with a ton of notes and some great ideas to improve my "plan". You are absolutely right when you say it's a numbers game - how many new contacts each day, week, month, etc. Anyway, your meeting certainly got me "thinking around corners." Thanks and see you at the next one.
