Everyone loves a fuzzy, warm story. Well, I am about to give you 5.
You see in the business of social media, everything moves fast. Success comes in small and large packages. Having social media as a part of your marketing plan is no longer an option, it is a necessity.
Today, I want to include some friends of mine and let them tell you what kind of success you can have when you incorporate social media into your marketing plan.

“Several years ago, I “gave in” to peer pressure and signed up for Facebook — without fully understanding the rage. I quickly “became friends” with a bunch of people from high school and soon concluded it was just an online high school reunion. I didn’t realize its business potential until I uploaded a photo gallery of a few logos from my design portfolio. Soon thereafter, a buddy from high school sent me a message about design work he needed. New logos, business cards, letterhead and more projects followed. Fast forward a few years and now that buddy and me? We are business partners in a new startup: MediaDoc Marketing.”

“I was recently contacted by a manufacturer in my industry. The marketing manager emailed me to see if we could find some time to chat. I assumed that this was for design work, as that is what I do primarily. As it turns out, I was wrong. The marketing manager told me that I had caught the attention of the owner of the company. The owner said that they had to find a way to work with me via social media and requested that the marketing manager get in touch with me. Now we are looking into ways that we can work together. Should be fun!”

“Just sharing a bit of my success since being “intentional” in following some Social Media tips provided by some great people including you! I didn’t have a Pinterest account or FB business timeline until just a few short months ago — Now have 150+ followers on my business timeline, over 1000 on my personal profile and, close to 200 on Pinterest. I have over 1000 followers on Twitter and striving to learn more how Google + and LinkedIn works because I know the things I apply create results. Every tip that I intentionally follow leads to developing new relationships through Social Media.”
