Here it is 2010 and it’s the year social media makes money, right? Sure, why not. Everyone loves a band wagon and buzz words. I mean, I read all these posts and read profile after profile of people who call themselves gurus and ninjas. At some point it, all seems a little silly.

Public Relations is a dead industry! If you think that, I will help you out from under that rock you have been hiding under. Social Media is not God. It’s not here to save you or your business. It’s a tool that is meant to help you create leverage.
Now, I will admit that for a split second about a year ago I thought “Who needs PR.. brands can do it themselves!!” Then I slapped myself (literally) and quickly woke up.

Happy New Year to everyone! There will be countless articles and videos regarding twenty ten. Everything from predictions to resolutions of what’s up for this year in business.

You can talk all day about how “Social Media” has changed the game. The reality is that anyone who says that hasn’t been in the game of business for very long. If they have, it wasn’t a business they built themselves. In the end, it’s all about the people and customer service and a quality product.
