Rich Brooks: Social Media & Small Business

A little over two years ago, I heard a recording of a guy talking about how to start a small business blog.  It sounded interesting, and a couple weeks later I started my first blog, “Organize.Simplify.Transform”.  That guy was Rich Brooks, and I had a chance to catch up with him at BlogWorld this year.  Here’s the recap of my interview.

Rich started out by saying how blogging and social media can help small business.  When using social media as a means of connecting with people, having a blog is a great tool to have to refer that audience to (from Twitter, Facebook, etc.).

Rich doesn’t feel that there are any hard and fast rules when it comes to using social media.  He felt that social media (and blogging) are ways of providing information in a give and take relationship.  He also feels that talking about what other people are talking about, and what your audience is looking for is paramount.
