Using Social Media to Grow Your Business


Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Debbie Weil, author of “The Corporate Blogging Book” about how to use Social Media to Grow Your Business.

Debbie was an engaging, interesting speaker with a wealth of information. In her interview, Debbie answered questions about the definition (and misnomers) and future of social media, as well as what tools are hot today.

She talked about who is effectively using social media in business giving great examples such as Dell’s success on Twitter and how they can directly relate $1 million dollars in revenue to their guy Richard@dell and how he has effectively engaged twitter fans to drive business. Debbie talked about Southwest Airline blog ~ Nuts about Southwest, how Jet Blue uses Twitter to notify their followers of flight updates, changes, cancellations and delays.

Debbie gave several tips including the importance of our Digital Footprint and how we must be providing useful content if we want to reach and engage our circles. She also talked about how blogs are now replacing traditional websites and actually becoming websites using blogging platforms.

Debbie gave some great resources including books to read and shared her own free ebook ~ 7 tips to Write a Great Blog, which you can access at www.DebbieWeil.com.
