Becoming a Social Media Consultant
July 31, 2014 by
I have decided that I wanted to become a social media consultant on my own, after seeing a lot of success due to actions that I've implemented in the different places that I've worked.

I thought that Mitt Romney was going to win New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida, which would have won him the nomination. Mitt Romney, however, is still winning if you take a look at the social media influence. ZDNet provides the following analysis of the GOP’s Social Media: Facebook User … [Read more...]
