Measuring Results Texas A&M can take a naive kid from a poor family in a small town and make them ready to be a millionaire in Houston or Dallas or even NYC. It's not only what you know, but who you know. Great place to start networking. Wouldn't trade my time there for anything! • Cold Metrics • Likes • Shares/Retweets • # Views • Warm Metrics • Quality of Comments

Final Thoughts • It’s about engagement. • It takes commitment. • Better to do one platform right than several wrong.
