I love being presented with complex, fun questions about marketing — I live for it. Today, a client inquired about Twitter marketing and when the best times to Tweet are, which is an excellent question that deserves a blog post of a response. So, here I am!
While indulging in a toasted sammy and some soup from Quiznos on this chilly day in Los Angeles, I noticed a sign by the front door with a talking toaster saying: FOLLOW ME.

As many of you already know, I’m a BBQ aficionado. Though it may sound odd to some, or display the fact that I’m a workaholic, my idea of a fun day is sparking up the smoker and cooking loads of food while I relax outside and work on my laptop. The point is: The intimate feelings I have for BBQ are the same feelings small business owners should have for Social Media Marketing (SMM).
