Hey Ken… Yes, having social proof is so important, but it’ll only happen if you get out there and help people, put others first, and add value to your online presence…

Very cool Ken. Thanks for the class. Like many others have commented, I didn’t know what it was for or how to use it. I can see we can also use it to remember a link to something, or a quote we like or just anything. In a way it’s like bookmarking.

Love your value.

Great Question. How many twitter accounts and facebook accounts do you see that jam their link down your throat? The key is providing value. Becoming the teacher attracts more than the used car sales man…As Jonathan Budd would say…Provide 90% value and 10% sales copy…I agree…

  Nick,
  
  Great point. Social media was not designed to be the next classified section. it’s designed to be… social. what a concept huh? However there are ways to monetize by dripping a little subtle nugget now and again. The 90% value 10% sales you mention is the prefect recipe.

  Kellie,
  
  Thanks for the comments. A much under-utilized feature. This si also a great way to capture mini testimonials and have them RSS fed to your blog. I’ll make a post about that soon.
