The main reason many small businesses aren’t utilizing social media is that they believe it doesn’t work, when in fact it does!

Making Press Releases Twitter Ready

 

Remember when you were a child and you sat in a circle and one person whispered something into the ear of the child next to them and this continued around the circle until the message came back to the original speaker? Was the message ever the same? Rarely!
