Social Strand Media A different kind of social media blog for small & mid-sized businesses…
It’s tough to relate to something that doesn’t really apply to your business, isn’t it? Are you sick of social media blogs that use case studies from the same big brands?
FYI: If you pay enough, you can get listed too… Do you attend social media conferences where the speaker list is also the sponsor or exhibitor list? #annoying
Guess what? Sorry to tell you that it wasn’t really free anyway-- you gave them your email address to register.  Are you tired of wasting your time on “free” webinars that only sell to you at the end?
Tired of reading social media blogs that recycle the same content over and over again?
Welcome to the Social Strand Blog!
SocialStrand.com/blog We blog daily
SocialStrand.com/blog We blog daily We don’t sell to you
SocialStrand.com/blog We blog daily We don’t sell to you We give you applicable case studies you can use
SocialStrand.com/blog We blog daily We don’t sell to you We’ve spoken at: WITI, MarketingCamp, BlogHer – and we didn’t pay to do it. We give you applicable case studies you can use
SocialStrand.com/blog We blog daily We don’t sell to you We don’t care if you give us your email (although you will get links to the blog a week earlier, plus exclusive content) We’ve spoken at: WITI, MarketingCamp, BlogHer – and we didn’t pay to do it. We give you applicable case studies you can use
What we care about is YOU. @socialstrand
What we care about is YOU. We write the blog for YOU. @socialstrand
What we care about is YOU. We write the blog for YOU. We tweet for YOU. @socialstrand
We even created this presentation for YOU. @socialstrand
If you’re not getting something out of it, then we’re not only failing YOU…we’re failing ourselves too.
And we don’t want to do that.
Because we like you, we really, really like you! And…
…because, for all YOU DO…
…because, for all YOU DO… This Blog’s For YOU! http://socialstrand.com/blog @socialstrand
