How to really make social networking work for you.

I keep reading about how oh social networking is dead. People keep saying social networking doesn't work. Well in my experience social networking can work the way it is supposed to, but only if you put forth the effort to make it work. It's not going to work if you never interact with the people that follow you on twitter or facebook. If all you're doing is concentrating on increasing your follower count or friend count, you have missed the big picture. It does you no good to have 5000+ people following you that you don't talk to. You have to spend some time actually talking to people.

Does this mean you have to interact with all of your followers one on one everyday? No of course not. That wouldn't be practical. If you did that, you'd easily spend all your time networking and no time working on your business. The basic takeaway point from this blog post is INTERACT! That's the only way you'll ever see any success with social media!
