Attention! Social media experts agree, if you want to be successful online:
“You have to be everywhere!” but….
Social Media is the biggest thing ever. You’ve heard it. I’ve heard it. Everywhere, it is: “Facebook this.” Twitter that”. YouTube is hot. And the latest social site is even hotter… It is a never ending list: LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Steemit, Snapchat, Digg…
And they are important.

Let’s do the math…
If 20,000 people search for “Wooden Spoons” today and your site is ranked number one, you get 6,600 visitors.
If you are fifth, you’ll still get 1,400 visitors. A major drop-off, but still not too bad…
However, look at what happens once you’re off the first page. Page One received 91.5% of the traffic. Page Three gets 1.1%. Now your traffic fire hose has slowed to a trickle…
