How to get started
1) Pick a tool – I suggest Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn
2) Fill out your profile– This is your place to market yourself– If on Twitter, fill the bio line with keywords (they
make it easier to find you)
3) Practice Covey’s Habit 5– Seek first to understand, then to be understood
