Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.

    Great list, and I’d say that even if the Garden wasn’t included ;) Thanks for doing this Mike!
    BTW are you reading fellow Iowa blogger Mike Bawden’s Much Ado About Marketing?

  • http://www.converstations.com Mike Sansone

    Thanks Mack. I’ve missed Mike! Is he blogging? I was getting worried about him. Thanks for the heads-up.

  • Phil Gerbyshak

    Quite a list here Mike. Thanks for including my blog amongst the likes of Tom Peters, Lias Haneberg, Steve Farber, and others. I’m very flattered. Many here I’d never heard of before, but I’ll be checking them all out soon. Thanks for sharing them!

    Thanks for including me in this very sharp short list! :)

    Mike,
    Thanks. This is actually perfect timing as I’ve been thinking about small town life after visiting my hometown on Long Island. I even went to the local fair–and had a blast. But I didn’t get a blue ribbon. Until now! Much appreciated.

  • http://www.OwnYourBrand.com Michael Wagner

    Thanks Mike for adding Own Your Brand to such a list of great thinkers and writers.
    Your encouragement has been much appreciated every step of the way.

  • http://www.mpdailyfix.com Ann Handley

    You’re highlighted some great blogs here, Mike, and given well-deserved props to some of the best bloggers out there. Time to give you the Blue Ribbon for Blue Ribbons (can that be done? — LOL)
    : )

  • http://www.converstations.com Mike Sansone

    Many you’re welcomes, many more thanks for your comments. As Ann H. said (and how’d I miss MPDF??), well deserved.

  • http://www.mpdailyfix.com Ann Handley

    Mike Bawden..Mike Sansone…Mike Wagner…who do so many bloggers come from Iowa, anyway? (And incredibly — they are all named Mike!)
    You need to look into that, Mike S.!

  • http://tshalffull.blogspot.com Starbucker

    Mike, I continue to be impressed by the “Iowa contingent” of our little blogging community – you have a keen eye for great stuff so I intend to check many of these out. Will there be a category for “optimistic middle-aged executives who blog” next year? :-) All the best.

    Vanity RSS 101: Go Find Yourself

    I was idly tripping through Technorati tonight and (rather belatedly) noticed that Mike Sansone was kind enough to put me on his Blue Ribbon BlogRoll. Two months belatedly. Ahem.
    So, first: Thanks Mike!
    Second: I guess if I subscribed to a…

    Mike, what a fine list of leaders, many of whom already teach me often, and the others I’ll so look forward to getting to know.
    It’s real interpersonal intelligence to bring others together – as you so often do. Thanks for the constant welcome so many of us feel at your roundtables Mike! You did it again – and we’re all richer for the ideas that surface when you are around. It’s fun too!

  • http://www.converstations.com Mike Sansone

    Thanks, Ellen. Together we’re smarter… Thank you for sharing your kindness and wisdom

  • http://weblensblogs.blogspot.com Pam Blackstone

    Hey Mike,
    How on earth do you ever find time to read all these great blogs!?! Anyway, thanks for the mention. I feel honoured to be included.

  • http://www.converstations.com Mike Sansone

    Great quiz, Pam. And really, it’s not a daily read. I catch up as I go – that’s why I love blogs. They are timeless in many ways.
    Sometimes, I take it at random in byte-size pieces:-)
