Social media looks really interesting but... I’ll never have millions of fans.
Using new marketing tools sound great but... I don’t know what to say on social media.
Reading what’s being said sounds useful but... I’ll never have a dedicated staff to do it right.
I hear about new tools and networks every day but... I just don’t have the time to stay current.
