“I’ve got 10,000 likes on my Facebook page,” proudly proclaimed the business owner sitting next to me at the conference lunch I was speaking at. Not a bad start, but as it turns out, not nearly sufficient to translate into sales.

A recent study soon to be featured in the Journal of Marketing Research explores what Facebook likes are worth, and how they translate (or not) into sales and offline action.

Does anyone else hate webinars?

The majority of those webinars I actually attend, unfortunately seem to end up dragging on and on, and give little worthwhile content, ending up with an almighty sales pitch.

Sorry guys, my time is worth more than that.  If you can’t relay your information in a more efficient way then I won’t be attending webinars at all and you won’t see me buying any of your products.
