Change the World.

You have never had more power to change the world than you do today. One simple act, one video, one “Tweet” can echo across humanity and unleash a world of social good. Together we can move mountains.

If you are a business brand or a personal brand (and we all are), and you are not engaged in social media, you will be left behind at a blinding speed. Blinding.

Watch the above.

Social Good Through Social Media

The New Year ushers in fresh hope to live our best lives. This segment covers a few simple steps to infuse your life with more passion as you make a difference in our world.

Must-see TV. Whoever you are, wherever you live, whatever you do, if you dig deep and do what you are most passionate about — and you speak with conviction and from the heart — you can build a thriving business. The tools: Wordpress, Twitter, Facebook, TubeMogul. All free. All game changers. Wake up tomorrow and do what you love.

December 9, 2009 - The day that changed the world forever. We believe this marked the biggest game-changer in the (short) history of social media. Google, which probably knows more about how people behave online and what the Web’s future holds, pushed in all its chips and bet big on…social media. By indexing Tweets, posts, etc at the top of Google’s search results, it puts the power squarely in your hands. Google made a smart bet, because they’re betting on people. During the attacks in Mumbai, people were Tweeting it live, from the lobby of the hotel…while the CNN trucks were gassing up and heading over. The news was being delivered, in real time, by the people. Do you see that this represents the most seismic shift in the history of media…and possibly of business? There are no more gatekeepers. You hold the key. What an exciting time to be alive.

“We are living in a day and age where anybody in the world with enough passion and skill set around that passion can go out and buy a $200 flipcam and put that voice to the world — and then build a business around that — is staggering.” - Gary Vaynerchuk

We love this clip from “30 Rock.” He’s fired up about social media — and he should be! Great stuff.

The Power of Video. Whether you are an individual looking to gain exposure and influence, or you are a business owner looking to drive growth, if you are not leveraging video, you are leaving large amounts of money on the table. “The consumer market for watching online video is huge. About 11 billion videos were shown in September, according to Nielsen Online.”  Creating and distributing compelling video is easier than it has ever been. Contact us to learn just how easy it is.

“Social Media = Business” Social media guru Gary Vaynerchuck speaking about how social media isn’t “the mustard.” It’s the hot dog, baby! In all seriousness, social media has now surpassed adult content as the #1 online activity. You may be reticent about engaging in social media because you don’t understand it, or don’t think it’s important, or that you won’t benefit from it. Well, it is. And, you will. But, you’ve got to join the conversation.
