The process can be overwhelming: between producing content on a multitude of platforms, publishing at the right times, interacting with followers, and more, it can seem like a full-time job in itself. Aren’t there tools to make it easier? Absolutely—but now the question is, which tools do what?  Some tools are channel-specific, and others can help you manage multiple accounts from one platform (don’t you think it would be convenient to be able to tweet and respond to Facebook comments all in the same place?). Because executing a social media campaign is not an overnight process, the order in which you take your steps matters, too; and some tools are best for helping you with particular milestones.

The Power Of Broke by Daymond John Book Review

Image
As you can imagine from a guy with a website titled "Frugal Business", I'm a big fan of the rags to riches Shark Tank star and fashion mogul  Daymond John . He started FUBU (For Us By Us) on the streets of Queens from the ground up by himself with almost no funds and turned it into a multi-billion dollar brand. He started selling clothes out of his car and now he owns more cars than you can imagine. He's currently a successful investor in dozens of businesses spanning a variety of industries.

Contrast his lean startup approach with tech titans Mark Cuban  and (often to a lesser extent)  Robert Herjavec .

He won't be stingy with money for the sake of being stingy, but to the point where his en...
