Great advice to approach this in bite sizes! – many individuals and companies feel overwhelmed at the prospect of engaging social media – which tools/platforms should they choose etc. The key is to begin witht the end in mind and have a strategy on who you want to engage with – and what you want to achieve from it. It’s also vital that you think through beforehand exactly how you will engage with your target audiences to make your offering compelling and interesting. What value are you adding? -and always remeber that content is King! Thanks for the opportunity to comment on this great post.

@Shennee, Jenny, and Chris- Thanks for the comments ladies!

@Krista- Ok, you made me laugh. I did have it as a draft but it was just a list of words and phrases (ie. simple, no reader, one blog, comment). That was what I started with last night once kiddos were in bed. SO, yes I whipped it up after my first day on the job. : ) Thank you for sharing it. I have a few people who have used it and so far, they usually like this approach so much they get anxious to move ahead of schedule.

@Joan- HUGE thanks for sharing with your SHRM chapter. You and Krista made my day!

@ben- Like the stages you mention and thank you for sharing your reader tutorial. By sharing what works for us, others can see it really is not hard, they just need a plan. Thanks for adding to the discussion my friend.
