Some Comments From Some People You May Know Talking About What I Know About Social Media

Cindy Locher, C.Ht.Create a Better Life With Hypnosis

• “Ron,

• What a testimony to your Economy of Action method!

• I've been on Twitter for close to a year, but it was kind of just "there." I wasn't using social networking to it's full potential, I can see that. One WEEK into using your system and I got my first #FridayFollow! I'm picking up followers daily, too.

• Can't thank you enough for your part in helping me become "an obvious expert." (June 8, 2009)”

• “Now that I'm into this, it's fun! BTW, I got another @cindy_locher on Twitter from someone I don't even know listing me with her "Awesome Tweeters." And I owe it all to you, LOL! You're a great teacher, so thanks.”
