We're switching gears this week and doing a solo episode! In my experience, I've learned that most people either don't know how to use social media or don't touch it because they judge it from afar...sometimes a little of both... In this episode I break down the current state of the Internet, and how to use it properly to build a following for your business or brand. This is an intro to social media, and if you like what you saw or heard, please let me know in the comments so I can do more episodes like this. If you have any questions, you can put those in the comments too. -M ----------- Follow the journey: Host: Mark Rodriguez http://instagram.com/markrodrigueztv Studio: Mastermynd Media http://instagram.com/mastermyndmedia http://mastermyndmedia.com Sponsors: XYKO http://xyko.co http://instagram.com/xyko.go Coupon Code for 15% OFF: TRP15 INK DETROIT http://inkdetroit.com http://instagram.com/inkdetroit Coupon Code for 15% OFF: TRP15 NEW EPISODES EVERY SATURDAY AT 10AM EST/7AM PST
