(A Few) Social Media Resources

My final piece (Part III D) on Social Media for Local Business: Resources.

Almost daily I get asked, “can you send me a list of some great Social Media resources so I can learn more about it?” I explain to people that Social Media evolves and changes nearly every single day. Staying current keeps us relevant. I am constantly and consistently self-educating and reaching out to other people for their knowledge, too!

Here are some Resources and additional people I keep up with/follow to help keep me current and relevant (Please make note: These resources are for Local and business in general):

1. The SocialMedia guide (Bonus: Check out their Social Media Glossary)
2. Mashable
3. The Really Big List of Ways to Get Your Local Business Found Online (via AdPearance)
4. HOW TO: Market Your Small Business With No Budget (via Mashable)
5. Alltop
6. SocialMedia Examiner
7. TechCrunch
8. ReadWriteWeb (Try saying that 10 times fast!)
9. Jason Keath
10. ProBlogger
11. Social Media Marketing Cheat Sheet: 10 Buzzwords You Need To Know (via Business Insider)
12. INFOGRAPHIC: Social Media Demographics All In One (via Penn Olson)
13. DailyBlogTips

Clearly, there are thousands if not millions of resources out there! I love research, reading and learning all that I can. And I believe that if you take the time to do the same, you will be pleasantly surprised by what you learn and how it will help your business. Remember: Knowledge is Power.
