Comments on: Social Media Porn Star http://mikemywords.com/2009/08/31/social-media-porn-star/ From the Brain of Mike McDowell Wed, 18 Aug 2010 22:30:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Will Hull http://mikemywords.com/2009/08/31/social-media-porn-star/#comment-250 Will Hull Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:54:23 +0000 http://mikemywords.com/?p=306#comment-250 Nice analogy. I will tell you how you can find a star out of the white noise out there, anyone who is named by someone else as a star. Personally, I think Beth Kanter is a star in my book because she has been at blogging and social media since roughly 2003 or 2004. She has over 12,000 followers of her blog and all she writes about and invites guest posts about is How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media. Here is her blog: http://beth.typepad.com/ Nice analogy.

But as I go down the path of walking the walk and talking the talk of a SM pornstar, I realize there's WAY more to it than spouting obvious truisms on twitter and blogs. There's a lot of research, planning and discussion necessary in being a social media expert, i.e. someone a company will pay good money to create a strategic plan uniquely tailored to their brand and present it in a motivating way. The social media expert is real. If your clients are calling you that and backing it up with invoiced stamped "PAID" then that's you baby. Roll over and take your DVDA! -M That’s a good analogy.
