I approach Social Media the same as I do communicating with my mailing list. The fact is, my subscribers do pay me, or buy products or services I recommend – but its NOT because I hit them with sales messages all day every day! No way – instead I provide value and do alot of teaching. Because they know, like and trust me – they buy.

Great Post Michele!

I think for the most part people expect instantaneous results, and as you know this is a building process that requires time, integrity, engagement and learning to be comfortable with "who" you are. Trust particularly online is something that most definitely must be earned, the veil of transparency is becoming extremely thin nowadays. The Question is always going to be centered around what kind of business is it, what there goals and timeframes are...and what is the strategy of measurement they can use to insure there time and effort is worthwhile in Social Media.

There is so much chatter about there being too many Social Media Strategists out there...and when I look at my Facebook Wall, Blind Friend Requests, Twitter Timeline & most other Social Networks the same pattern of rush marketing exists. Once the Etiquette soaks in and people move from push marketing to collaborative referral marketing moves into full swing a lot of those confused business owners will become contributors to the community as well.

For Now...I'm enjoying the ride and feel grateful that what comes naturally to me I can help & train others to do the same.

In Gratitude...Alex

Thank Trey, I agree and it baffles me why this concept is so hard for some, guess I will need to develop a tapping series for social media too, giggle.

Give, give, give, and when you feel like you have given enough, give some more! The biggest challenge people face with social media is that they do to go ego-driven and forget that it is all about connecting and building true and lasting relationships. Cool post.
