social media marketing should always begin offline rather than on , approaching small business in your area is great way to get your foot indoor so to speak .

Hi Mario,
Adam Singer is my favorite blogger, so anyone who quotes him is definitely speaking to the Choir.

I like the simplicity of your post and agree that Social Media is a means to an end, especially for marketers.

One comment on the importance of Profiles, especially for LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook; It is my understanding that the way people find you “out there” is by the details you add to those profiles.

Of course, you are correct that goals — especially for those who want to use the internet for business purposes — are the cornerstone for your social media participation.

@Aaron:
You’re right about the importance of setting specific goals that can be measured. I was reading an alarming statistic yesterday that said that 75% of small businesses in the US don’t engage in social media because they don’t see the value. Without clear and realistic goals and specific KPIs, small business owners will continue to be disappointed. This is a big opportunity for social media consultants who “get it”.
