Thanks for this, Glen. There is so much you can do in social media, it's great to have a short, manageable list of what you should do first.

Great article. I especially agree with your comments regarding niche site participation. Easier to be a big fish in a smaller pond.

Great list, your philosophy is spot on. Saw a recent You tube video, and one frame said “Be more like Dale Carnegie, not like Mad Men”. Same idea.

Lots of good practical information here. I would add one suggestion to point #1. Use a service that makes it easy to participate and mange a number of social media sites so you can evaluate more sites at one time.

Hey,

Really great post. I am in fact a social media beginner so this is really useful. I actually signed up for as many as I could at first but then quickly realized that I would be ignoring most except a couple. I can see why now. Thanks for posting this!

Peace,
