Social Media in Plain English
Now that I am working closely with several people in my local area in teaching businesses the power of social media, I am constantly on the hunt for new, innovative ways to explain why they should be involved in networks like Twitter and Facebook, etc...
This is one of the best examples I have ever found as to why social media exists, why it works, and why so many are turning towards it to help build their businesses!!


Clint, this is just great - what an original way to describe the social media phenomenon - I loved the simplicity - no flash technology, etc and yet effective and interesting.
Joanne -- I completely agree on all points. It is entertaining, also. ;-)
common craft does such an excellent simple way of explaining stuff! Good luck on your teaching Clint. You're perfect for the task!
I'm always amazed at the negativity I encounter re social media, but many times I see that it is the fear (many times of WORK!) aspect. Love Common Craft!
Lee and Pam -- Yes, that they do. And, thank you so much!! Enjoying it so far. :-)
Susie -- Agreed. I have never met anyone that cant do this stuff. I have met many that are afraid of learning how to do it, tho. ;-)
Clint, Thanks for bringing us that. I hadn't heard of Common Craft before but I love the simple, non complicated way they presented it. They make using social media a no-brainer. Great stuff!!!
:)
It is simple we sometime make it much more difficult than it has to be.
CR -- You bet! CommonCraft makes some awesome stuff. Simple, easy to follow, and very effective!
Terry and Bonnie -- Amen to that statement. :-)
Terrific. Thanks for posting this.
Kirsten -- You are so very welcome!
Hi Clint,
Now that is in plain English! Very easy to understand with it's streamline approach to demonstrating social media at work. Great post..thanks for sharing.
Dorie -- Yup...I loved it. Thank you for the comment, too!
Clint ---- you are the right -- this is a great video -- I will definitely use it -- thanks for sharing.
Liz -- glad you liked it!
Great post. Elegantly simple...monumentally plain. Just like vanilla. I think this just about sums up what we are all trying to accomplish with our "new" marketing techniques.
Don -- And those are the reasons why it is so good.
Cling ~ that was a highly educatioinal video that really gave the meaning of social media in language we all can understand and connect with. Thanks for sharing it!
Dawn -- No problem. I love that video.
Wow - great way to explain SM. Haven't heard of CC b4, but will check it out. Awesome video - it's just that simple.
Thanks for simplifying! Even if you know social media you've broken it down in a way that's easy to pass on to those who aren't as comfortable online.
Lori -- Love CC! They have some awesome stuff.
Gina -- That is the goal. ;-)
