Editor's Notes
What this means is that with a little bit of knowledge you have access to hundreds, or thousands or even millions of people to do business with. With social media, you literally have the same opportunities for success online as major retail businesses do like Walmart or Sears or Amazon. Remember, it’s about the people. One relationship that you have is the same as one relationship that Amazon has.
So how do you get started? What do you do first? Where do you go online?
Start with Facebook. There are more than a billion people on Facebook so it will be easier to find your family, your friends and meet new friends. Facebook has a very simple signup process. Social media sites are either commercial, meaning business focused like LinkedIn or emotional/personal like Facebook. Facebook is more personal because you are much more likely to see personal, friendly information on Facebook than business information. I will warn you that Facebook can be a big time waster so make sure to balance your time online to get the most out of it.

When it comes to Facebook it’s not about right or wrong, it’s about good and bad.For example, it’s good to share engaging information; it’s bad to share too much information. It’s good to be neutral, it’s bad to be controversial. It’s good to post information that people can use. It’s bad to post whatever comes to your mind without thinking. It’s good to have an even mix of business and personal posts. It’s bad to put up too many business posts. It’s good to post things that are relevant to what your friends or followers like. It’s bad to post things that are not relevant at all.
