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.

    I dunno, Mike. I was just talking to Roger von Oech this morning, and the term “Iowa Blogging Mafia” came up. Of course, to be a part of this group really is “an offer you can’t refuse.” :)

    Great…now we have to kill Roger. Who’s turn is it?
    We can decide tomorrow over coffee!

    Try the Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich @ Panera. (light feta cheese)
    O and the butternut squash soup is just as sinfully delicious:)

    > Adam, Matt’s in, but he’ll have to by a vowel.
    > Tim & Drew (Tim Andrew?), Since this is the blogosphere, as long as Roger is blogging – he’s family. Besides – count the vowels!
    >Breeze:-) On your recommendation, I tried the soup. Delicious is right – it was almost like dessert. Love the veggie sandwich (though it wasn’t what I had today). Thanks for the tip!

    Would that be an “I”, “O” or “U”?
    Did anyone else know that Mike was in the Salina’s Rodeo Parade when he was little?
    Drew, you’ll have to share more about your days with the Rodeo as well. We didn’t get much time to elaborate the other morning.

    Matt – An “E” as in “Engagement” – which is what you’ve done with Spur’N Conversations. Great to hear you!

    Matt,
    Ahh, my rodeo stories are not filled with glory. More with a baseball card pack shaped bruise on my rear end!
    Note to self — always empty your back pockets before you ride a horse known to buck!
