Give us 20 minutes and you’ll have
a proven social media success formula that’s
drop-dead simple
and customized just for you

Making business connections used to be all about building relationships in person. You learned that those relationships meant money, so you attended Chamber of Commerce luncheons. You worked your Rolodex.

You exchanged business cards. You met for lunch. And you followed up by email.

You were all set.

Then one day, the whole game changed

Social media exploded, and none of the old rules applied. None of the old methods worked. Suddenly, business networking became a Living Hell.

It was as though somebody picked you up and dropped you on a different planet, with a new landscape, new rules, a new language, and a WHOLE new set of problems to contend with.

Here’s the kicker: You ALSO had all that new technology to learn.

Sound familiar?

If you think you can just ignore it all, if you think it’s just a fad that will go away, think again. Miss this boat and it might just sink your ship. The statistics tell the story:

• A survey by the Pew Research Center and Princeton University show adult use of social media is exploding. It has quadrupled from 8 percent of adults in 2005 to 35 percent in 2009. That means more than 1 in 3 adults use these sites, and many of them buy products and services based on recommendations at social networking sites.

• Social networks and blogs are the fourth most popular activities online, and even more popular than personal email!

• If Facebook were a country, it would be the fourth most populated place in the world.

• Adults–not teens–make up the majority of social network users.

• A study by the National Consumers League shows that 82 percent of Americans who want information on companies trust discussion at social media sites more than they do the companies’ corporate sites

So what about you? Isn’t it time you got on board?

If you’re already on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, or another social media site, you may have wasted precious time doing more than one of these things (we certainly have):

		Guessing which of the more than 1 million social media sites you should use
		Researching some of these sites and figuring out how to use them before jumping in
		Wondering what to talk about on sites like Twitter and Facebook.
		Desperately searching for friends, followers, connections—ANYBODY who cares about what you have to say.
		Trying to sound clever so you stand out from the crowd.
		Feeling like you’re talking to yourself because nobody is responding.
		Pretending you know what you’re doing.
		Reading advice from social media experts who talk in social media lingo you don’t understand.
		Making embarrassing mistakes on these sites—for all the world to see!
		Trying to determine your return on investment.

…all while trying to run a business and still have a life!

Frustrated, you finally ask yourself “What am I doing here and why am I wasting my time?”

Or maybe this is your story: You haven’t dipped your toe into social media just yet because you’re busting your chops just trying to stay afloat in your business.

Maybe you’re intimidated by it all. Or you don’t know where to begin.

But no matter which of these camps you fall into, you know you can’t ignore social media, particularly when you hear about success stories like these.

Social Media Success Stories

Valentina the Artist, as she’s known on YouTube, has attracted tens of thousands of loyal fans, thanks to a series of weekly YouTube videos she produced that show her painting and commenting on her work. The videos link to eBay auctions where she has sold artwork that has eventually led to numerous requests for commissioned paintings.

 

Gary Vaynerchuk, the thirtysomething wine blogger and son of Russian immigrants, hosts weekday podcasts about wine at TV.WineLibrary.com. His brash style and unpretentious approach to wine appreciation have attracted an average 40,000 viewers to each podcast, more than 85,000 followers on Twitter, and more than $60 million a year in sales at the Wine Library, the New Jersey wine store he co-owns with his father.

 

The Red Cross uses Twitter to announce disaster news. During the tornadoes in 2008, it twittered about the location of its emergency shelters in several states, led followers to Flickr photos that showed tornado damage, and made it easy for tornado survivors to report in as being “safe and well.”

 

“Paranormal Activity,” shot in documentary style, cost less than $15,000 dollars but went on to become one of the top grossing films in the U.S., amassing more than $100 million dollars at the box office, thanks to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Regardless of your market and your niche, you can’t afford to ignore social media. So then, what do the thousands of people behind all the social media success stories know that you don’t know?

Here’s their secret: They have devised their own formula and a plan for using social media with laser accuracy and lightning speed.

Sound impossible? Sound like sales hype?

And when we let some of our customers and clients try it out, we KNEW we had a winner. Even some of them who had been using social media for a while told us how astonished they were to learn how much they didn’t know.

So here it is: A REAL social media solution that REAL people can use to get make social media work for them. It’s
"Social Media Rx: Your 20-Minute Prescription for Cutting through the Clutter, Chatter and Confusion," an assessment tool that removes the worry, fear and frustration from getting started.

You see, social media doesn’t have to be time-consuming, confusing or frustrating. And you don’t have to spend endless days learning the ropes.

So Why Didn’t Someone Come Up with This Before?

Why were we able to solve the puzzle for you? Because we brought a unique set of tools to the table: Jeanne Hurlbert is an expert in social networks and surveys, and Joan Stewart a renowned expert in PR and publicity.

It doesn’t get much better than that.

And when this powerful team came together, it all clicked. We were able to solve the problem of giving people a quick, easy and effective social media solution in a way no one else could.

Jeanne has been studying social networks for more than 25 years, long before Facebook and Twitter. She has spent more than two decades studying how individuals’ social networks affect such things as health, finding a job, job satisfaction, getting social support, and recovering from disasters.

She earned a BA in Sociology at the College of William and Mary, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, then earned her MA and PhD degrees from the University of North Carolina.

Jeanne is a sociologist who’s been on faculty at Louisiana State University for more than 22 years. She’s also co-founder of MySurveyExpert, which helps business people create surveys that work, quickly, easily, and inexpensively.

She and her husband/colleague head a group that helps business people–particularly business women–craft effective social network strategies, online and offline.

They have been featured or quoted in such media as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Oprah and Friends, USA Today, Forbes.com, Monster.com, SmallBiz.com, Juneau.com, U.S. News & World Report, Radio-TV Interview Report, Health, Smart Money, The Christian Science Monitor, CNN, National Public Radio, The History Channel, ABC News Now, and Business Talk This Morning.

Joan, also known as The Publicity Hound, is one of the foremost experts on online and offline promotion. She has an international following of corporate, nonprofit and small-business people who subscribe to her popular electronic newsletter “The Publicity Hound’s Tips of the Week,” in its ninth year. Joan has created more than 150 products and learning tools for people who want to self-promote. Her ebook “How to be a Kick-butt Publicity Hound,” is being used as the textbook for a communications course at Rider University in New Jersey.

Success Magazine chose her as one of three successful Internet marketers to feature in its January/February 2008 issue. Entrepreneur magazine recruited her as its public relations expert and asked her to write a monthly column for Entrepreneur.com. Her expert commentary and advice is included in more than 60 books about marketing, publicity and small business, and in dozens of print and electronic newsletters.

Together, Jeanne and Joan created a patent-pending social media solution like none other.
