In the online world, Content is King….and everyone wants a turn on the throne.

How to Succeed in Social Media

I had a little conversation on Twitter with @SonnyGill last night. Sonny and I don’t chat that often, but we do float around in and out of each others’ radar sometimes. Last night we got to talking about our names. You see, Sonny confessed on his blog that “Sonny” is not his real name. I...CONTINUE READING
