Start to see yourself as an educator in your field and forget about selling your product or service. People will trust you when they don’t feel like they are dealing with a salesman. Viral marketing begins and as you become labeled as an expert in your field, you can leverage that to gain TV, radio and other social media exposure in the market place.

A big question out there these days is: What is the ROI of Social Media? Or the ever popular how do I measure the ROI of social media? Often when I get this question it’s appropriate for me to retort: “What’s the ROI of your phone?” Other times it’s not appropriate to respond with this answer, which, if done in the wrong tone, or place, can win you a free punch in the face. Then there are the naysayers that adamantly proclaim, “We aren’t doing social media because there isn’t any ROI.”
