Even lawyer's make money with social media.

I was pleasantly surprised by Kevin O'Keefe's "How can a lawyer make money from social media?" blog. It reminded me of the dot-com boom, when cat food companies thought they would get rich selling bulk cat food online instead of going to the grocery store. When the boom crashed, the cat food salesmen said "you can't make money online, it's all hype" and every other failed company said similar things. Then came Web 2.0 and lots of real revenue streams opened up and money came flooding in by the millions and billions; Yes i wish i thought of YouTube, selling for 1 & 1/2 billion dollars.

Anyway, there is definitely something similar is going on with Social Media Marketing, the nay sayers claiming social media doesn't make money, are disappointed because their version of cat food isn't selling and the only conclusion is it doesn't work.

Social Media Marketing is coming into it's own, the same way Web 2.0 did. It's revenue power by is only going towards those who understand how to use it.

Take a look at Kevin's post, if a lawyer can do it, anybody can!
