HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey there! Thanks for the link to my blog. In no way have I ever said that we should stop marketing in other areas though. I actual think social media isn't really a good place at all to market on behalf of a brand. Social is a great place to build a network and have others talk about your brand.
Amen as usual. I've always said social media is a crappy sales/marketing platform, it's great for conversations that aren't scalable. If people think newsletter open rates are bad, try a tweet!
I have almost 100,000 followers, and on average if I send out a pic it get's viewed 2000 times. Do the math.
10,000 opt-ins to my blog newsletter are 10X more valuable than 10,000 social media opt-ins.
You are the wind beneath my wiiiiiiiiiings. I once scanned a QR code at a car show, it brought me to a site that was not accessible from a mobile phone. (slams head on a car hood)
