Nancy,
As you stated, the bottoom-line is: Social Media are not meant to REPLACE marketing strategy. They are PART of your overall marketing strategy.
They are here to stay and because they are so cost-effective, it’s essential for all business owners to own their own social media presence and make the time.

Thanks very much Deb.

You are right…make the time. Don’t just ignore it, or degrade the mediums available simply because you are a bit irritated they even exist. It is obvious these tools are not going away, but will only become more commonplace. The names and the tools will change, but the practice of networking and communicating via Social Media is a new way of life to be added to the one we already have.

Interesting post Nancy, and I so agree with all of your points. You really get this social media stuff. There is no cookie cutter approach to social media, and it needs to be a part of your overall marketing plan. It is simply another, very important tool, in your marketing toolbox. But it is also a tool that needs to be used. Had a phone conversation with a former partner in my old law firm. His comment, I don’t have time to blog or get on twitter. My comment, you need to make the time.

Hi Nancy:

I often find that even the most shy clients will blossom and share IF they feel properly armed. That could mean “diving deep” to understand a topic, practicing how they’d navigate a tricky conversation or regularly interacting with influencers who can help get them up to speed.

So, the opportunity for marketers may be to help develop customized systems that allow folks to rapidly gain comfort. Enter social media and SEO, very interesting building blocks for those systems. We live in an interesting time…

I love thinking about it that way!!! Investing to get a return!!!! And the money analogy is something all peeps should be able to relate to! And in life, we get out of our relationships what we are willing to put into them. So why should Twitter be any different!

You are right on target as always Nancy. When I speak to people on social media, the first thing most people say is they don’t know where to start or what to say and feel overwhelmed. I find that many new young attorneys coming out of law school feel the same way with networking from the ground up on and offline. But once they start getting their feet wet, the fear goes away.

I, for one, appreciate you sharing your words of wisdom in 140 characters or less on Twitter so I can pass them along. Good information needs to be shared!

I started kindergarten at 4 also. I consider myself a natural introvert, but have forced myself to do the “investing” as you have outlined in order to grow as an individual and as a professional!! Great blog post! Keep’em coming!!
