Hi Tim,

Great insight on social media, at this point it should no longer be “secrets” but rather best practices!

Thanks for the great post.

I have been in the roofing industry for 20 years and to be honest I am seen as a bad guy most of the time but through friendship and trust earned through helping and not selling my base is fine even in these times. So I agree make a friend and earn a living.

Tim,

The point about how crucial having friends when engaging in social media was great. I’ve read so many “how-to’s” about social media, but don’t recall ever seeing friends mentioned. We risk in social media, having a lot of friends who are superficial. One can have absurd amounts of Facebook friends, but will those friends “enjoy the journey with you and toast with you when they reach the top”? (As you so eloquently put it) Probably not.

Thanks for the terrific and concise post!
