Perry Belcher's video contains important information about Social Media.

It floored me, so I sent it out to my newsletter subscribers, because it's probably the best description of how to use social media to build your business, I've ever seen.

This has been a major hot-button of mine lately, because I'm absolutely shocked at how many people in the network marketing industry screw this up. Not only are they ruining their reputations, but they're blowing the single biggest opportunity for traffic, branding, and wealth creation in the history of the internet. (So far).

Social media is my single greatest focus in 2009, and if it's not yours, we'll... you're screwed. And I'm dead serious.

Social networking sites like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter are growing roughly 10X faster than the rest of the internet, and more and more often these social networking sites can be found at the top of Google.

* Facebook has 140 million active users, up 89% this year alone.
* Facebook users check their accounts 3-4 times per day.
* They spend an average of 19+ minutes per visit.
* 250,000 new users sign up at Facebook every day.
* 300,000 new people join Twitter every month.
* There are approximately 12.9 million active blogs in existence, with over 5 billion readers. That's more than newspapers, magazines, and books combined!

This is the future and it's the last place youll have a chance to build you business online, but you cannot, under any circumstance, market your business, products, or services they way you've done up until today. (And that goes for me to!)

If you bring those strategies which have worked for years, into the world of social media...
