This particular business is most needed but the financial need is greater for the small business person because they can’t compete with that larger businesses. Using smart phones has given small businesses a outlet with that technology just as appealing as the larger businesses. I feel this source is very reliable because it’s currerly where we are in our society. Smart phones are being more and more used and the technology has gone to another level. For our audio industry professionals this is much needed and reliable because cost have to be cut and budgets have to be met.

Social Media Is Conversation Not Lectures
Social Media is PULL marketing. Pull marketing needs time to establish a relationship. Time to talk and be heard. That's why my favorite social media marketing mistake is #1 -on Forbes list of five common social mistakes - not listening to your audience.
Digital Listening Is Different
Digital listening is different than listening to someone while having a conversation. Digital listening requires social rewards, examples, and a clear ask. Creating a clear ask, defining what you want to happen and why strays into Forbes second mistake - no clear objectives.
Confusion = Don't Buy, Engage, Contribute
Without objective confusion rules. If you don't know why you're doing, saying, or asking something how can the digital receiver possibly know? Confused customers do many things buying is never one of them.
Confusion Is Easy, Clarity Hard
During an almost twenty year career as a digital marketer, I built my first e-commerce website in 1999, clarity is the easiest sin. Think your marketing, motives, and campaigns are clear as a ringing bell on a cold morning in the Himalayas? Think again.
Don't Talk To Yourself About Yourself
All digital marketing is in danger of 1. talking to itself about itself and 2. not listening. Listening isn't easy. Listening is at least twice as hard as talking and digital listening is at least twice as hard as real-life listening or conversational listening where nonverbal clues can help bring you back around can help stop our tendency to talk to ourselves about ourselves.
