I have no concept if this is going to operate truly, perhaps? It makes sense, but I dunno, like I was saying. I just sort of take a look at it as what else is this going to be of use to other people in the grand scheme of issues. Can I use once more and again? If so great. Occasionally I could be extremely unsure so that is why I ask. If this appears practical I thought it was an fascinating read in the extremely least. I discovered it rather a distinctive and fascinating concept, again though, I am not really sure how others will respond to this. That’s just me becoming a cynic/doubtful individual sometimes I guess. Sorry it’s the way I was raised, but it isn’t to say that this idea does not have merit. Okay well I’m done rambling, so I’ll let you formulate your personal thoughts from here lol. Im’ outty.

Very interesting post I really enjoyed reading it and I actually just emailed a link to your site to younger my brother for him to read.He is kind of a freek about this topic. Thank you for sharing I have added your blog to my bookmarks and will be back By the way this is off subject but I also wanted to mention that really like your sites layouta lot of sites that you visit these days are all cluttered up with banner adds and you bet the impression that the owner of the blog either does not care about there blog and just uses it to make money with banners or that the owner is really new to web design and simply has does not know how to create a nice layout. Your blog layout is very user friendly you obviously spent a lot of time thinking about the colors and it show. Also the website navigation is also very straight forward and easy to use. Anyway like I already mentioned thanks for the great post and excellent site layout I bookmarked your site and will be back to see what other interesting thing you have to say. Cheers Mate!

Hi Kevin,

Sorry for the late reply, we’ve been busy as you well know. To give a short but direct response, I wouldn’t necessarily say that ROI is dirty when it comes to social media but it doesn’t apply. Social media is nothing more than a tool. It’s a conduit for communication. You could no more easily measure the ROI of your cell phone let alone a massive platform like social media. Instead, the return on investment should weigh in the actions and specific strategies or campaigns that take place within social media itself.

In regards to holding back on any form of marketing because of tight budgets, as Henry Ford once said: “A man who stops advertising to save money is like a man who stops a clock to save time.”

You have a few helpful ideas! Perhaps I should think of trying to do this myself. Respectfully

I’m sure there are many other great tools out there, but I think it’s great that you focused on these two tools for now. I was stuck in a blogging rut a few months back and to get inspired again I also listened to a few tutorials and read some great ebooks. Thanks for sharing these Elmar!

Charles, bonjour…
Well, it’s an interesting view point. But in this day of tight budgets, how on earth are you going to measure the return on investment? (or is ROI a dirty word in the field of Social Media?)
