My mission is to equip you to use one of the most important social media platforms
Forrester Research revealed that Baby Boomers are not as technology phobic as most people think. More than 60 percent of Baby Boomers actively consume socially created content like blogs, videos, podcasts, and forums. Even more interesting is that the percentage of those using social media is rising rapidly.
If you are going to be marketing a product or service as a Baby Boomer Entrepreneur, you need to know the latest trends in social networks as tools for business. Twitter should be in your toolbox. Take the next step, be a creator of social media content.
