He could spend 35 million a year and still have money left over (assuming he isn’t investing it… otherwise he could spend a lot more and not even touch his principle). I know people have a problem with rich people, but I… -

Compared to other social media channels, Facebook is where the eyeballs are and that puts it at the center of the social media universe.

When you’re making cold calls, you’re calling someone you don’t know, hoping to get their attention long enough to listen to what you have to say. When someone introduces you, it comes with a personal recommendation. The person will listen to you because you’ve been personally introduced. LinkedIn makes it easy to request introductions.
