Harness the Power of Social Media Thru Integrated Marketing Campaign

We keep hearing that our businesses and organizations should be involved with Internet social media and networking - but do you know WHY?

Here's the WHY:
Social Media + Marketing Campaign = Growth @ Lightning Speed

Marketing is about creating awareness. Social Media is the method to create that awareness in a fraction of the time of conventional methods.

Unfortunately too many people approach social media in a helter skelter fashion, exerting a tremendous effort for little return.

Taking an organized  "campaign style" marketing approach to your social media efforts will accelerate creating that awareness.

"Days of Fear" - a 1st hand account of captivity under the New Taliban

A book I just finished reading is "Days of Fear" by Daniele Mastrogiacomo. Daniele is a journalist who was promised an interview with a high ranking Taliban leader in Afghanistan. Instead, he was captured and held in captivity with his interpreter and driver. What happens to them in captivity sends shivers down one's spine.

This book is a must read for anyone who wishes to gain greater insights into Islamic extremists who engage in their activities in the name of God.

The Fragility of Freedom

We are living in a pivotal time in history.


Over the last couple decades, the focus in our country has been divisive social issues. It is time to put aside our differences on those issues because there are much more serious threats with which we need to deal. They are threats – both external and internal – that threaten our freedom.


How we deal with these threats in the next few months will shape our lives for decades to come. Yet most of our citizens are so uninformed that they don’t even realize what those threats are. Unfortunately by the time we realize what is happening, it takes significant action to undo the harm, if it can be undone.

Is the Threat From Iran, Terrorists and the Taliban Real?

Someone who wished to post a comment on my blog (the comment will be posted as soon as "anonymous" identifies herself) wrote that my recent article "The Fragility of Freedom" was using scare tactics. In the article I referred to several external  as well as internal threats to our citizens' safety and liberties.

On the external threats, I referenced included:

1. Iran's ability to have nuclear weapons within the next two years and that if they were to drop a bomb on one of our major cities, such as Chicago, the events of 9/11 will pale in comparison.
2. Countries around the world have theocratic governments (meaning church and state are combined) and the mission of those governments is to convert the world to their system. In those countries, women have no rights.
3. Terrorists who cloak themselves in religion intend to inflict as much harm as possible on our country and our citizens.

I believe these external threats are real and should be taken seriously.

Do you agree or disagree?
