Editor's Notes

  1. We lived in a time of unmatched opportunity…
  2. It’s as simple as being passionate about something. “Social media tools – Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and all the rest – are modern-day galleons that will carry you to the new world, allowing you to share your passion, differentiate yourself from your competitors, and deliver your brand to the broadest possible audience.”
  3. Be yourself. Create your own personal brand.“There no longer has to be a difference between who you are and what you do.”
  4. Internet talk.“It makes total sense that if this is where the eyeballs are going, this is where the business has to go.”“The greatest paradox surrounding the Internet is that as much as it allows us to isolate and limit ourselves only to what we believe is immediately relevant to our specific needs, so does it allow us to connect at unprecedented levels…”
  5. “Legacy always wins.” If something will make you money but you’re not proud of it don’t do it. Everything we do online is being recorded for eternity, the public can be forgiving when it wants to be but don’t test its generosity.
  6. A step by step guideUsing various social media platforms According to Gary, “Social media gives entrepreneurs and businesses an unprecedented chance to engage with their customers and communicate their message. Those who can harness their passion to the unbelievable reach and power of these tools are in a position to crush it on a level the world has never seen.”
  7. Read Jeff Gitomer’s book if…you’re interested in learning how you can turn yourself into a personal brand using social media tools. If you want to turn something your passionate about into your career.If you’re tired of working for someone else.If you still don’t think it’s possible.
