Here are a few highlights... to get you thinking. Feel free to ask questions and share your tips!
How to get started with social media and content marketing comes up frequently. Do you remember how you got started? What did you do first? What did you find most helpful? How did you manage the chaos stemming from so much new information?
My favorite advice - advice that I apply to myself - is to take small consistent steps and to use technology to help manage those small steps.

Given the focus on 'getting started', you may find these October articles interesting:
Proud About Bathroom Blogfest 2011!
Did you follow the sixth annual Bathroom Blogfest? It took place the last week in October with over 30 bloggers in the US, Canada, the UK and Dubai who published 45 articles addressing the theme of "Climbing Out" from a wide range of blog perspectives. Participating bloggers represented diverse areas of focus ranging from flooring, kitchen & bath, interior design, tile and tile contracting, retail experience, customer experience, qualitative research, social media and more. It's an amazing event to be part of and, from what we've heard, to experience. We'd love your reactions!
Bathroom Blogfest 2012 is scheduled for the last week in October 2012. If you would like to be included, let me know.
Final Getting Started Thoughts:
Don't forget to get started with small, consistent steps: schedule 15 minutes per day to explore and immerse yourself in social media. Read the content you come across. Ask yourself what you like and don't like about what you find. Then, let me know what you discover.
Thank you for reading! Have a wonderful November.
Best,
