Is Social Media Working For You?

Watch Is Social Media Working For You? on PBS. See more from Black Issues Forum.

A few months back I had the pleasure of speaking about Social Media Use for Entrepreneurs on Black Issues Forum, which is hosted by Deborah Holt Noel on PBS (UNC-TV). This episode aired on 5/27/12, which is actually the day after my birthday. As you can imagine, being on a television in front of millions of viewers was truly the best birthday gift!

But enough about me, is Social Media Working for you or making you do more work? With Facebook drawing over 800 million active users, twitter conducting more than 140 million tweets a day and the world wide count on blogs nearing one billion according to compete.com and the social times, there is no question anyone who is serious about their business success or simply wants to communicate with the current generation realizes that social media has got to be a part of the picture.

In this episode we scratched the social media surface and discussed the most popular and significant social networking sites out there and how to determine which ones are a good fit for you. The panel of speakers included myself, LaShanda Henry founder of Black Business Women Online and SistaSense.com, James Wong co-founder of Empowered Ideas and Katrina Harrell founder of Business Liberation.
