Showing 2 of 2 pages (27 Comments)Actually, there are a lot of people doing social media VERY well.
Two who immediately pop into mind are @AlexisNeely and @MariSmith
Why are they doing it well? They are not only engaging with thousands of "followers" in broadcast and direct messages which builds their brands, but they are also sharing useful and motivational thoughts, selling quality products and services as well as growing their own subscriber base. These activities ultimately drive sales and increase exposure. In business, this is what social media is all about!
