My own experience is that sometimes audiences want to hear what they are prepared to hear. Whenever I am pitiching a business idea, I always have to be careful not to be too critical of the status quo to the extent that the audience becomes antagonistic. Working in the first aid kit [link removed] sector, I find that it is not always a web-focused business. People will have entreched practices and it si sometimes hard to get rid of habit.

But I was digging through the classes they offer and not only do the have classes on online marketing but they actually have social media classes. Can you recommend other places where I can find these kinds of classes on social media.

Business, like any other activity say like agriculture, is taking calculated risks. You take any action with four possible outcomes a) get exactly what you expected, b)get the opposite of what you expected, c)get more than you expected and d)get something totally different. you put in knowledge, skill and effort into the activity and usually, the fourth element chance, or providence or divine intervention, whatever you call it, is the one that gets you the outcome. The trick is in constantly renewing your knowledge and skill sets, assuming that your effort levels will not slacken, and keep moving. If, by following formulae we can win in any human endeavor, we would not see such high incidences of failure in all walks of life, including blogging.

Specially liked the bit about "Technology is the heart… (can’t live without it) . . . but conversation is the soul." That is so true and which is why word of mouth is such a valuable resource what marketers look to exploit. That was insightful and informative.
