The journey with Social Media


Since the creation of social media there has also been a new creation alongside of it – the birth of the self-proclaimed social media gurus. I get it, you know how to use facebook, you have a lot of fans, good for you. But guru, really? There are so many companies out there now talking the talk – and they do sound good. But so far I have only met a few, truly a few, that actually can take their social media skills, get the followers AND get a ROI on all the time and energy spent. They can literally show you the money.

I had the opportunity to listen to one such man this week. Maarten-Jan Waasdorp shared some of his FRESH ideas with me. I can’t give away his secrets but I can give away his website. I would highly recommend checking him out. He also has some great advice on his website. http://www.us4interactive.com If you want to get on his good side – I hear he likes Churchills :)

So my journey with social media continues, but now I have at least 2 people I will call “Guru’s”
