Hi Craig,

Nice to see you.  This is a great helpful reminder on how to do this.  I have missed taking the time to spend time on Craigs Classroom.  Just so busy this time of year.  I need to get back in there and play around.

Nice post Craig. Half the battle to get people to visit your social media sites is letting them know where to easily find you. After looking at my Google Analytics the other day, it looks like I should add a Pinterest icon too since we've gotten a decent amount of traffic from there dispite not advertising it and not posting anything in the past couple months.

Craig, You found a better set of icons than I could!  I used to use those with attribution (didn't like the clutter), so finally changed it, but had to bring in another to cover Pinterest because the set I liked didn't have Pinterest for some reason.  Thanks for the tips!  Bill

Tammie - I like the other call to action buttons in your signature - I'll be glad to see the social additions coming soon :)

Judi - one of the other things I found in my search was people sharing but at 32 pixels and that is a little too small for me. I really like the 48 pixel size so when I exported from contentfrog source that is one size I made

Joan - that will be great, thanks

Alan - I'm very glad to see you and hear that you enjoyed

In regards to social media, where is the beef?

That will date me but the people who seem to be championing social media are either under 20 or less something, or make a living from social media.

There is a difference between  making a living off of  social media and making a living from social media.

The media streams you weed and feed, hanging out along your blog posts to be seen but not distract or annoy. Just the right size, of the corner of the blog post readers eye. Armed, loaded, safety pins pulled and ready to rock and roll. Shock and awe. If the trigger finger of the surfer says I want more...let's connect and keep the engagement going. I always think of it like an attack helicopter loaded with ordinance, firepower, the tools to get the job done. Marketing is like that. Penetrate the market, eat up the pie share size you want with the right use of technology, the fire power.
