“This is the true joy in life – being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.” ~George Bernard Shaw

As the modes of monetizing social media continue to expand, it’s very important to keep in mind that each person can be a mighty social media force for all things good.

When we just think about social media in terms of how much money it can make us, how many books it can sell, how many CDs are bought – we can lose the very important piece of how social media can change the world for better.

Here are 5 Tips for Being a Mighty Social Media Force:

1. Don’t be a back to me social media poster child. Always think of how you can mightily expand everyone’s endeavors, not just your own.

2. Focus more on how your social media can empower, instead of the increase it might bring to your bottom line. (Secret - If you do good, you will do well.)

3. Don’t be stingy – share your ideas freely.

4. Power abundant link-love – link to other folks who are brilliant and share their posts as well with your readers.

5. Be real – be the same offline as you are online. Don’t be incongruent.
