ROTE 020: Ian Cleary, The Social Media Tools Guy

Social media is every where. It’s completely changed the way people receive their news, post updates about what they are doing in life — and most especially how business and brands now engage with their customers and audience online.

With over 2 billion users spread across all of the major social networks, how is anyone supposed to know where to start or how to best deliver their content? It’s a loaded question… and so is the answer!

Through the use of social media tools and services, anyone can get a better hand on their social media activity while also measuring their results in the process.

This is exactly what we are going to be talking about in the latest episode of the Rise of the Entrepreneur.
