Spot on. I found the same thing when I gave a (very brief!) presentation on social media for non-profits – I had contracts pouring in. Am now putting together a short video to just cover the basics that I can send to clients! The knowledge gap is so large, and these were major orgs that I'd have assumed had a great handle on social media (principles as well as application). Thank you for speaking so well on this point!

CG, thanks for stopping by. You are most welcome to use it, but if you'd like to ask permission go say hey to Erik Qualman (he commented below). It's his video!

That was so amazing! I halted my staff's workday and required others come in and watch. Some didn't like Gary Vaynerchuk's book but they couldn't deny the indisputable facts you presented. Do I have your permission to play that link during my GE sales training next month?

Thanks- Cardiogoop

I might be the only person that has NOT seen that video (it was very well-done). I was impressed by the numbers, but I was not shocked by them because I know how huge this whole revolution is. It's astonishing to hear of some people that are ready for “what's next” after social media. It doesn't exist. We've stumbled upon a new norm. The most incredible part though, I think we've only just grazed the surface of this =)

Great post, Annie!

You can do it, Sam! I think the key to remember is never to get in over our heads. I have been going in stating specifically what I know and what I can help the client with, and also (and more importantly) stating what I cannot do for them.

There are many, MANY people out there who will pay good money for an introduction to the social media world. Go find 'em.

I'm so glad that there's someone like you to inspire people like me.

I don't consider myself an expert (wow, those terms have become taboo, fast) in social media, but I have learned many different things from a lot of observation and a lot of reading. I struggle with charging anybody with this basic knowledge because I am not a designer, coder, programmer, and perhaps maybe not even a businessman. I don't think there's anything that I have that's not already on the internet, and I wonder if people realize that.

The fact that you have found a market for 'social media learners' like you and me is highly encouraging
