I found a new great blog about Social Media.  www.chrisbrogan.com

As I move forward with blogging about Social Media, I love to find sites like Chris’s.  There is so much out there that is opinion, fact, experience, and more… How does a person become an expert on this subject.  In my opinion, its all about reading as much as you can, and then applying it to your own site, and once you have your site where you want it, its time to share with others.  How can this be used for Small Business?  That is where I want to grow.  Using what knowledge I have gained from these sites, books, and blogs to help other small businesses grow.  Thanks again Chris for allowing me to use this link.

Over the past week Emily has made a great discovery about me.  I am like a Tag Cloud.  At first I was confused, because I was wondering why would I be compared to a Tag Cloud.  It was explained to me in layman’s terms that in the middle of my tag cloud lies one major tag that supersedes all other tags-  Social Media Marketing.  As she went on about not being able to get top or any ranking with the marriage tag, or the family tag in my tag cloud.  I just pondered and day dreamed about a blog post “Tag Cloud - My life in a nutshell….”

She is very much right.  The idea of being social with an audience that in turn resulted in marketing to them is a lot of who I am.  I have been social by nature since birth (a trait I have graciously passed on to my daughter).  I feel most comfortable when I am with people, or reading about them.  That is why blogs intrigue me so much.  The question came up “Who would want to read what I have to say?”.

I don’t know who reads this blog, but I do know if you are, you probably either like what I have to say, or have way too much time and read it just because.

As I move throughout this week, my goal is going to be more than survival.  I accomplished that last week.  This week I want to conquer.  Conquer what you might ask?  Conquer my schedule.  Find time in it not to waste on TV, Olympics, or other distractions, but try to find a few minutes of time for Family, God, and me.

Yes the tag cloud will still be Social Media Marketing, but family just might show up!

Thanks Emily for the reality check.
