There are obvious benefits to businesses who get into social media. Perhaps the benefits provided to an individual pursuing social media are just as plentiful. Call me captain obvious, but the best thing about social media has got to be the advice available from experts.
In social media, the experts are out there for you to connect with, after all, it’s what they do. They’ll give great advice and help get you going. If you’re feeling social media and find it hard to tear yourself away from it, then just go for it. It’s a rare case where you can get going with help from the best. Let’s put it in perspective.
What should you do if your jump shot isn’t falling right? Get in touch with Lebron, wait I said jump shot. Contact Paul Pierce or Ray Allen, maybe they have some advice for you. Yeah right. Having trouble with your 7 iron? Give Tiger or Phil a shout. Sure, they’ll want to talk to you?
Extreme example? Yeah, probably so, but still the point remains. Social Media is one of the few areas where you can reach out to the experts and they will indeed help you. When Social Media grabbed me and sucked me in, I found it useful to follow the best on twitter and read their blogs. You can get valuable information and insight from the best in the business and they are willing to make contact. That’s a trait you don’t find in every profession.
So, if you’re lurking in the world of social media and want to make that decision to jump in with both feet, reach out and speak up. You’ll probably find the advice you need to get going and then some. They may even be able to help you out with your 7 iron or jump shot. Here are a few that I find have valuable insight. A lot of them have already made a list like this, but hey, when in Rome.
1. Jason falls
2. Chris Brogan
3. Sonny Gill
4. David Griner
7. Mack Collier
Keep in mind, these are some of the social media gurus. Follow the best, they’ll show you the rest.
