Thanks for reading and commenting, Stuart. Looks like there’s a number of great resources over on your blog (The Lost Jacket). Come back soon:)

Thanks, Doug. I think the BBQ reference is pretty good. Hope all is well over in Billings.

The second point is definitely extremely valuable to small businesses on SM. As an avid user of Twitter I tend to delete any and all pitches via an auto dm. Liked your use of the Rotary meeting as an example, perfect framing. Stuart Fosters last blog post..Interview Critiques and Advice

Hey Mark, Great straightforward post. I agree that we need to remember that we should only say online, what we would comfortably say while standing in our business, with our children or mother listening. I love the analogy of Social Marketing being like the backyard barbeque, you don;t run around and hand our business cards. You take the time to get to know people, to add some value even if it's because you tell funny stories and then they will be receptive to more of a business based conversation and may even initiate it, Doug Doug McIsaacs last blog post..Google Friend Connect is Changing Social Media Marketing
