In 2010 something shocking happened! Facebook overtook Google in online activity. Not surprisingly when everything related to the news, family, entertainment or anything usually hits your Facebook Wall in minutes before anywhere else!

Due to this major shift in marketing, businesses are changing where they are budgeting their money for 2011.

According to www.emarketing.com businesses are making a huge shift to email and social media.

What you need to do is focus on your social media needs and what goals you want for 2011. Set daily, weekly and monthly goals and try to stick with them.

If you're new to social media that's OK, you're not behind. YouTube only turned 5 this year. Social Media is still very young and has a LONG way to go.

JUST REMEMBER!!! Social media is just that social! and if you plan on doing it get involved and plan for the long haul. This is not a sprint. Create a plan just like a business plan and stick to it.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me!
