“Build it and They will Come!”

NOT.

Connection is the Nuclear Core of Social Media. But you MUST make an effort for that to happen.

Whether you have a social media home business, traditional bricks and mortar business, or an online business, you must get into the social trenches and connect and converse. It is that simple and that plain.

I’ve been using Twitter since January of 2008 and have really come to love the community of people I’ve met and connected with.

They may be just repeating what they have heard in social media.
