Social Media –
I think Social Media is great. The main reason is because it allows you to get a group of people who are interested in your tutoring business. I have also found if you do a few things well – it can greatly impact your business.
++ I wanted to share this note from someone I follow about all things social media. If you buy something from those links I’ll get a commission +++
Some people think you’ve got to have a BIG personality to succeed on social media…Like those folks you see posting all the time that are always the life of the party.
But actually, the MOST successful people using social media are NOT who you think. They’re not the ones with the most friends.
They’re the ones quietly getting traffic, getting customers and making money — not by wearing a virtual lampshade on their heads –but by posting content that’s most relevant to their audience.
And the really smart ones have a system for doing it, like my friend Don’s. He makes his people love him and buy from him spending just minutes a day on social media. Check out his latest video to see how he does it:

OH – and by the way – here’s the best part! You’re going to want to watch the video closely, because Don is going to reveal his solution to your posting frustrations.
Find out all about that here on the video.

Whatever your personality, you’re going to like what you hear!
P.S. Remember — be sure to post a comment on the video page and share it to one of your social networks… you could walk away with a Google Nexus tablet that is up for grabs!

We’re also in the process of testing Pinterest to see if it does well (or not).  If it doesn’t work well, then we’ll let you know. If it does work well then we’ll let you know exactly what and how we did it.
