    Gary,
    You don’t make money by participating in LinkedIn, Tweeter, Facebook, etc. anymore than you make money by visiting a lead group in the mornings or networking at a Chamber of Commerce event. You don’t make money by doing those things.

    You make money when you make contact with a new client through those mediums. And there are a massive amount of clients out there. And guess what, right now, there are not a lot of accountants out there.

    As you stated, they can be time consuming, but a lot of it is upfront. Just like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it. I look forward to seeing you there.

    We should all be networking!!! LinkedIn, Tweeter, Facebook, whatever.

    But who has the time? And can anyone tell me how you make money on it?

    Just asking.
