      That’s how it started for me karla.. just fun.. then I met a whole crew of single women.. that were interested in meeting people to date online. Then I met people that had met their spouses online. I built a dating company and it was an over night hit. I was where the people were that were interested in a product.. i knew the people and they knew me. I never asked for a single sale. Just said this is what I’m doing and the rest is history.

    I loved social media before I knew it was called social media; I just love to connect with people online and learn from them. Like when I come to your blog, I learn and sometimes I am able to apply immediately what I learn; thanks!!

    What a great article! It is funny because when throw out the expectation of making the next biggest sale on social media, you can actually sit back and enjoy the great relationships you are capable of building. I love the fact that it makes the world so much smaller :)

    Great article. Social media certainly helped me grow my business, which was especially important given the nature of what I do — writing, speaking and consulting on the science and 21st century brain research on addiction, substance abuse and secondhand drinking :) .
