I've been working on social media marketing for my web design business now that it's a full time effort. It is time consuming to weed through all the chaffe looking for the relationships that count.

I agree, the difficulty with all Social Media platforms, including LinkedIn, is the task of sifting through the spam and it causes a lot of people to just leave. I think we're always going to find those who want to take the low road, but more often I think the problem stems from the lack of understanding how to use these tools together toward a larger goal. So we see distribution of what most of us regard as spam. Many just haven't realized a more intricate plan for using each tool is needed and even when they do realize this, are struggling with where to start or just how to go about the task of tying everything together. Discovering Inbound Marketing is like the sun coming out on a cloudy day, a clear path becomes visible and the pieces become one. More to come... Hi Kris,
