Examples of dark social include links copied and pasted into emails, [...]

It's a big topic and I decided to focus on what it means to be successful with social media. Success in social media depends on effective content.

    Selfie - A fun way to engage

    I recently had the opportunity to spend a day or two encouraging passers-by to snap ‘selfies’ in aid of a good cause. For those who may not know, selfies are self-portraits usually taken with a smartphone and then uploaded to social media sites. Vicki and Lorene taking a selfie at the Haney Farmer's Market While most people were quite willing to play in, my request was sometimes met with[...]
