The 6 Advantages Women Entrepreneurs Have Over Men

Every company is its own TV station, magazine, and newspaper.

You must fight social media fire with social media water.

Social media changes the relationship between companies and customers
from master and servant, to peer to peer.

Facebook Fan Pages are email newsletters with smaller pictures.

Social media creates kinship between companies and customers,
and kinship equals purchase intent.

Social media allows big companies to act small again.

It’s not viral unless it is.

Activate your fans, don’t just collect them like baseball cards.

The goal of social media is to turn customers into a volunteer marketing army.

Passion is the gasoline of social media

Social media is the ultimate canary in the coal mine

master and servant, to peer to peer

Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.-H.Keller

“Twitter is a great place to tell the world what you’re thinking before you’ve
had a chance to think about it.”
– Chris Pirillo, blogger
