Big Dogs speak their voice on social media

Dustin Stout posted 5 Social Media Tips for Becoming one of the Big Dogs on Google+ recently:

In case you missed it over the weekend, I shared my thoughts on why it doesn't matter how large your social media following is, your voice is important. You should never have to qualify any statement with, _"well I'm not one of the "big dogs" of [social network]..." because your voice and your opinion matters! 

And even if you're still a bit intimidated to throw your voice in, these 5 tips can help steer you in the direction of becoming one of the big dogs of social media yourself.

I shared it, and commented:

How to be a Big Dog on social media: It takes time and effort, but it's quite doable as Dustin W. Stout points out.

My comment: Just to reinforce a point you mention in your note, Dustin: Whatever content you post ought to be something you're truly interested in and speaks your genuine voice. I get the sense that some people are liking, posting or sharing, simply for the sake of liking, posting or sharing. There isn't much of their voice in it.

Thanks to Mike Allton for sharing.
