Don't try to be great at all of the platforms. Pick the one where your customers are on most frequently
and ROCK IT! Also stay curious - jump in and play with new technology (Facebook LIVE- Snapchat-etc)
without trying to figure out how to make money from it right away. You never know which tool might be the
next big connector for you!
