I've definitely joined 30+ networks myself to see whats out there. But FB and Twitter have been my one two punch with LinkedIN just b/c it's professional. You need to focus your time!

Same here. There are so many profiles out there that I havent updated in forever. I probably dont even know my usernames and passwords to get into some of the accounts haha.

But for people starting out just learning facebook and twitter will be plenty to handle.

Well said, don't spread yourself to thin! There are SOOO many networks out there that it is a full time job just keeping them updated. I can easily say that I'm a member on over 30 social networks that the majority of them I never got any use out of. Luckily I spend enough time on a select few that no one will ever find them. They're digital dirt now that I need to get rid of!

So the first question everyone has is--where do I start. When I was struggling with this question a year ago, I heard Gary Vaynerchuk says: you need to be everywhere, on all of them.

Well, a year's past and it's far more clear that focused strategy is better than spreading yourself too thin. Under30CEOs strategy consists of:

Facebook Fan Page
Twitter
Our RSS feed

Yes, Ping.FM sends our content out to our facebook statuses, linkedin statuses and friendfeed, but it's all about the focus. We hit it hard on Twitter and our Facebook fan page and that's that. We know we can make a huge impact on those 2 and then use the others very rarely.

Figure out your strategy and then keep at that, don't go crazy learning every single network out there.

This is all crucial to building your personal brand. Start your blog and do it right then push it out there with the other social media platforms.

There is so much opportunity and even though there is a lot of noise out there if your putting out great shit across these networks you will quickly realize it will rise to the top.
