CNN explores a topic that we know well here at Blue Fountain Media: Making Money through Social Media. Anchor TJ Holmes explains that you can use social media “for more than just building up your fans, friends, and followers.” CNN sent financial expert Clyde Anderson to a small retail business that wasn’t using social media to give them a few tips.

Notably, Mr Anderson’s advice perfectly parallels Blue Fountain Media’s: Step one is all about strategy. That is, figuring out what you want to get out of social media, what sites you should be using, and how you are going to go about implementing that strategy. CNN goes on to list Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and YouTube as great places to start. We couldn’t agree more.

CNN also did an article on social media and small businesses back in April.
