Make Friends with Facebook Folks

Show Up Daily

Few people work the social site on a daily basis, routinely showing up in fits and starts every few days or week. The person who maintains an active daily presence can only reap some serious returns from their efforts in the long run.

Persistent people are the objection of much admiration and envy. The masses wonder how these folks do it, scratching their heads and wanting to learn more about the secret to their success.

This is a key that so many entrepreneurs miss. Simply show up daily and you will distance yourself from the herd.
