  5. One to one, very fast
  6. One to many
  7. Many to many
  8. The world is a much smaller place today.
  9. Most important thing:PEOPLE being socialSame rules applySocial means relationships, friendships, and trust
  10. There are social networking ground rules:Act like a person – have a personality – don’t sell if I’m not wanting to buy – provide value
  11. What if this guyshowedup to your cookout and tried to sell you a car?
  12. YouTube: how-to videos, video blogs, etc.
  13. Go where your audience is.
  14. Your website is still the hub – where people come back to interact with your business.
  15. What’s your call to action?
