That’s a great analogy for the social media process, it fits perfectly.

Joe – Good stuff. Agreed. I am writing a SM Guide and one of the first sections is about defining goals. There has to be purpose. Goals provide purpose.

Gus,

Thanks for the request to check out this post. Can’t disagree with anything you’ve written.

Building a profitable (how you define that is up to you) social media presence requires an investment of your time. Time spent listening, responding, creating, and refining.

The one question I ask people first and foremost is, “What are your goals?”

Once the goals are clearly understood then the whole popcorn process can begin in earnest.

Nice words, thanks for sharing.

First off, thanks for the invitation, Gus! That was nice.

Second, I think you’re dead on with how this works. It’s certainly been my experience. I genuinely believe that if you care about your community, that you season the pot, stir things up and, as you say, savor the “buttery goodness” (love that, btw), you’ll have success. You just have to be patient. Social media is a food of love.

Pop on!!
