Social Media Explained in VERY Simple Terms

By Christina HillsMarketing, News, Tips

If you are new to Social Media, or even if you have been using it for a while, you will want to watch this video from my friend, Perry Belcher.  I saw him post this on Twitter, and I was so inspired by it, that I decided to make a blog post about it.

It’s just a camera, Perry and a whiteboard, explaining what Social Media is, and how you should be using it.  He boils it down in simple terms, and reveals how you can use it in your business and personal life.

Although I’ve been using Social Media for a long time now, I’ve never heard it explained in quite these terms.  It really clarifies Social Media, and gives you a big picture ‘reason why’.

If you are using Social Media, you can find me on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Myspace !

  1. Christina … cool you posted this! It’s the best (and funniest!) explanation I’ve seen on social networking yet.

  2. Excellent! Thanks for turning me onto that, Christina. That is about as simple, nuts-and-bolts as it needs to be. But then again, I’m a guy.

  3. A breath of fresh air!
    no BS marketing!
    Thats what i like and that is the way it is.
    All these ‘youve GOT to see this world destroying product worth $345781329485239845 but on sale today for ONLY $7.77 (and there are ONLY 7 of these digital items left!!! PLUS they come with $345908234598234098586234 fo bonuses too!)’ muppets are history and thanks a lot Christina – you and two other internet marketers (JE and PM) are the only ones i have not deleted from sending me stuff because you have no BS.
    Thanks!

  5. Christina: Perry’s video is excellent. I’ve been feeling as if the way to reach people has changed but people’s needs haven’t, and he captures that very well. His message is–don’t let the technology get in the way because something even more basic–meeting people– hasn’t changed at all. Analogizing to a party is perfect.
    Thanks, DEnise

  6. Hey Christina,

    Thanks for sharing Perry’s YouTube on Social Media. His analogy of how the process works is spot-on and one that everyone can relate to! I’m sure I’ll be using a version of his explanation to explain Social Media to my friends and colleagues.

    This is also a great example of how well it works when you give of yourself by sharing who you are and what you’re about… without expecting something in return. When we do that, it comes back to us tenfold… in ways that we can’t even begin to imagine.

    Good information and much appreciated.

  7. Christina, he is the greatest! I’m still smiling but isn’t that what I just told you I do intuitively.

    It’s one big party lol only in each of our styles. All parties are different, yes?

    Wonderful, just added him on facebook and twitter!

  8. I agree with you. He is is definitely a whiz at what he does. And I was equally inspired to carry on with my social marketing efforts, but more importantly he made it more meaningful for me.

    Thanks for posting the video. I am glad you are on twitter, I am off to follow so that I can get more gems of wisdom from you!
