New opportunity

This is my first blog in 3 years. YIKES! Talk about a hiatus!

So today I started a new venture, social media management. Surprisingly seems more difficult than I thought and I have to pull back my thoughts from the company as I just use the media in hopes of gaining more business for the benefit of the company. And I definitely do not have the experience at running a company or advertising for that matter. This is a very new experience, and I hope I can do well at this. I enjoyed my first day though, getting a feel for the company and what the owners expect. Also, trying to understand how to best use social media to gain the customers and not scare them off. Too much is never good, but how much is too much and how little is too little? Trial by error? Not a way I want to do this so I began looking at some other companies that use social media and research and gauged, along with the help of Athena-who came up with a number- how much a company post in 24 hours. Larger companies seem to post about 8-10 times in a 24 hour period while smaller companies are about half of that.

Now, the next time I go in, unless I do it over the weeked will be to get a blog setup for Modern Mercantile and WM Wine Shop(@ModMerc on www.Twitter.com ) or on www.facebook.com.

You can also follow me on twitter @Smitz115 and learn about my journey through this experience or anything in general-philosophy, quotes, movie reviews(Im no critic! If it keeps me intriqued, I like it!) and day to day life.

And so Im back into the world of Blogging. Anybody remember Xanga? Yeah, this is the closest we will get to that now.
