Comments on: Do You Have What it Takes to Be a Success in Social Media? http://www.nextlevelblogger.com/successf-in-social-media/ Blog tips and internet marketing strategies from Christian Russell Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:49:50 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Christian Russell http://www.nextlevelblogger.com/successf-in-social-media/#comment-949 Christian Russell Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:29:37 +0000 http://www.nextlevelblogger.com/?p=799#comment-949 "kiddie code" is a great way of putting it! building sites for clients on occasion and such, I've had to get familiar with php and css. No doubt the more you learn, the more comfortable you'll be with things. That said, from a business perspective I'm a huge fan of team building and delegation. No matter how much you learn, you'll NEVER be able to learn everything you need. You have to get good at using resources beyond your own brain! Many of the people I work with are owners of very small businesses (less than 10 employees), and to be perfectly candid, they just don't have any business taking on SEO, pro web design, etc. They have a business to run. Some of them instinctively know this. Some don't. It's important to know that having proficiency in HTML, etc is nice, but it's 100% optional! And lack of web programming knowledge is no reason at all to not dive in! “kiddie code” is a great way of putting it! building sites for clients on occasion and such, I’ve had to get familiar with php and css.

You know that platform well and have a lot to offer the people you work with. I agree...just in that one place there is huge opportunity. Jonathan – I like your commitment to FB.

It's a great time to get in and develop your base. With all the mainstream press Social Media is getting there's no end in sight to the growth. Think about it...Facebook ---> Over 300,000,000 users. I'm confident that using Facebook alone you could generate enough business to throw away your offline marketing plan. The key is to get in, get trained, and set goals.
