Social Media Successes

How many times have you seen the content shared by so-called 'social media gurus' to find that it seems like they're just re-hashing what's in the FAQ of Twitter and Facebook? It's almost like the typos are in there on purpose because they want to throw you off the scent of their copy 'n' paste job. They're mostly selling ads, empty e-books, and really crappy videos.

I'm here to tell you: I've found a marketing expert with real-world experience, and impressive social media success. Ann Evanston, of Warrior-preneur fame, recently ranked among the top six marketers in the country, is a truly wonderful find. One of the top  measures - some say the only measure that matters - of an effective mentor or expert is the measure of how effectively they impact their audience. Ann's impact, from her public speaking to her social media mentoring, is vast. She frequently uses the term "go giver", and is the best example of someone who's quite generous with her time and advice. The advice itself is creative, practical and extremely effective.

Do yourself a favor: Check her out. She puts out a tasty newsletter that comes with a free video when you sign up. To make it easy, I made a simple Facebook app that gets you squared away in no time flat. Click here now to get in on the goodness.
