The Number-One Secret for Social Media Success by Dave Kerpen for OPEN Forum
For many business owners, the temptation is to use social networks to promote themselves and broadcast their messages. But if you stop thinking like a marketer and start thinking like a customer, you’ll understand that the secret to social media is in the “social” more than in the “media”—it’s in being human.
