The 74% Percent Who Don’t Believe Social Media Matters.
November 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I just read the results of a poll that asked people if they believe social media affects their buying decisions. According to the results 74% of those polled feel that social media does not affect their decisions to about what they buy. I strongly suspect that of this 74%, the majority simply do not realize how much social media is beginning to shape their buying decisions.
The statistic of those who are affected, but don’t realize it, would certainly be much harder to measure. I certainly can’t prove it either. I base my assertion on observations of the discussions on facebook, and twitter. I factor in the belief that 80 to 90% of shoppers today begin their buying decision for anything by jumping on a search engine and researching their purchase on-line. I also fold in the fact that social media is having an ever larger impact on the search results delivered by the most popular search engines.
When you factor it all in, it is hard for me to believe that 74% of shoppers are actually unaffected by what is happening on social media. What is much easier to believe is that many people will fail to recognize or choose not to admit that they are affected. I understand this completely. I for one, would never admit that I was ever swayed by TV commercials.
Many of the business owners I speak with are beginning to recognize that a consistent and persistent social media presence is necessary. The challenge for many is how to get it done when they are already fully busy. If you know that you need a solid social media presence but can’t find the time, you might check with my friends at Social-Cindy.com.

Which Came First, The Chicken or The Egg?
October 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I have the answer to this age old question.
The egg came first.
Here is my argument. If I were a strict constructionist, and believed that a supreme being went “poof” and created the first chicken, then clearly the chicken would have come first. However, I have seen enough evidence in natural history museums to 
convince me that evolution played a roll in the existence of the chicken even if a supreme being is behind that evolution. But that, is whole other discussion.
So as long as we accept that the chicken evolved from something that wasn’t a chicken, then somewhere along the evolutionary line there must have been one particular animal that was the very first to qualify as a “chicken” rather than whatever her mother was. This very first chicken undoubtedly hatched from an egg, therefore the egg came first.
The more I think about this, the more I see it as a bullet proof argument. If you have a counterpoint to this argument, I encourage you to post your thoughts below.
If your web presence is in need of a little evolution please give the [Web: Handyman] a call at (949) 813 3861. We specialize in helping your website evolve into a powerful revenue producing tool.
