5. What is twitter? How do I use it? How will it benefit me?
6. How can I use social bookmarking (digg, delicious, stumbleupon) to promote my web content?
7. How do I write good web content?
8. How often should I blog?
9. How do I juggle blogging, social media time, meetings, running a business, sales, picking my kids up from school, sleeping, eating, and the occasional moment of relaxation?
10. Which online social networks should I join?
11. How do I leverage the power of online contacts to grow my business?
12. What are the ‘rules of etiquette’ for connecting with business contacts online?
13. How do I know if what I’m online is effective?
14. What are other business professionals doing online that’s producing results?
15. Where do I go to find the answers to these questions?

Social media can't help you. You don't qualify.

Not every business is a good fit for social media marketing. Some organizations just aren't set up for it. There are too many rules you have to follow, non-disclosure agreements, compliance regulations, and old-school thinkers. Let me throw out a statement that might surprise some people.

Hello, I am new to Smaller Indiana and thought I would reach out to connect and say hello. My name is Brandon and I am the Director for Musical Medicine. We build music libraries for hospitals.

Are you planning on attending the Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival next Thursday? I hear it's going to be huge, they expect about 1,500 people to attend. It should be a great networking day! I have free tickets, if you need a ticket, let me know and I'll email you one. If you want more details about it, it's listed under events on the 26th.

Have a good day and I look forward to networking with you. Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you,
Brandon
