I am not a technical person. I know less about programming and
computers than anyone.
I just know how to push buttons and I have a pretty cool phone.
Anyone Can Do Social Media!

Social Media is about Building a “community” of
people interested in what you do.
It is about engagement not push sales.
Think Community?
