Are you using social media yet? Here are ten reasons why you should be:
Number 10 – After one week of using social media you will be able to quit your job, move to a tropical island, and never have to work again. (Except to go to the bank to cash your commission checks.)
Number 9 – Richard Branson, Bill Gates, and YES, even President Barack Obama will become one of your followers.
Number 8 – You will have more customers than you know what to do with!
Number 7 – Friends and fans will POKE you all day long.
Number 6 – Your blog about “How to Make Money Blogging” will join the exclusive ranks of about 5 million other sites that cover the same niche.
Number 5 – You will get famous. Instantly.
Number 4 – Even though you will be spending more time than ever before on your computer, your productivity will grow exponentially.
Number 3 – Mega-stores will be breaking down your door to get you to use their gift cards.
Number 2 – You will get a book deal.
NUMBER 1 – When your co-workers are at the water cooler discussing with great frustration all of the auto DM’s they have been getting, you’ll know what the F#$K they are talking about.

Nice post, very true, and Social Networking is fun as hell!
Mark, it is a bit comical when you think about it – I occasionally try to explain some of this to my dad and he thinks I’m brilliant because I can speak a foreign language. Thanks for sharing the link

I knew social media was fun. But now I know it’s good for all the other aspects of life as well ;)
