Last year, on a Copyblogger podcast I was described as being like the cranky old “black sheep” uncle in the corner telling the kids what a crock social media is.<\/p>\n
It was actually pretty funny.<\/p>\n
All good jokes are based on truth, after all.<\/p>\n
And, let’s face it:<\/p>\n
He’s right.<\/p>\n
I don’t drink the social media kool-aid.<\/p>\n
Frankly, I hardly ever waste time on FaceBook. I have a Google+ account but barely ever log in. And besides Twitter (which I find entertaining and fun, and somewhat useful for business purposes) I basically avoid social media like the zombie apocalypse plague.<\/p>\n
Still, that doesn’t mean it’s totally useless.<\/p>\n
Or that you can’t make $$ with it.<\/p>\n
For example…<\/p>\n
Here are some ways I’ve used and\/or observed for increasing sales (short term and long term) with social media:<\/p>\n
Anyway, there are more than that.<\/p>\n
So even I admit it’s not ALL bad.<\/p>\n
But compared to email, it’s a joke.<\/p>\n
I take great pride in all the people I’ve “converted” from being diehard social media evangelists to being diehard email evangelists.<\/p>\n
Do email right and it’s way more fun.<\/p>\n
Way more convenient.<\/p>\n
And… way more profitable.<\/p>\n
