Using Social To Voice Your Opinion
I’ve been spending a lot of time on LinkedIn connecting up with other business owners. I answer questions regularly, and have started asking a variety of my own questions.
So as I logged in today to start surfing through the site, I was surprised to see today’s featured question - by John McCain.
Think of how a presiden
tial candidate could operate in the future. If there’s a topic brewing among the masses, he or she simply logs into their social site, asks a question, and begins analyzing the responses from average American citizens.
Talk about the power of the people.
In less than 2 hours, 81 people have posted answers to his question. Imagine the response in 7 days. And imagine the answers he can get by asking a question every day.
It doesn’t have to be just for presidential candidates. It can be for small business owners too.
What if you could ask a question to a group of people and get answers from people around the globe? How do they feel about something? What opinion do they have about something in the news? Could it impact the way you build a new service?
I’ve been asking questions just to get an overview of how people feel about social media and blogging. While none of the answers surprised me, it did confirm things I already had a feeling about.
What can you ask to help you build your business?
