My Prediction for 2018

On the Social Media Examiner Website

My Prediction for 2018

February marks the start of Social Media Marketing World which is one of my favorite conferences of the year.

This will be the second year in a row I have attended this event, and also the second year in a row I have been speaking on a panel at Social Media Marketing World.

Actually I am on two panels this year which is a first for me.

I am on a panel about using Facebook Groups to grow your marketing. This will be a really great panel, and since I have over 400 Facebook Groups it was a natural fit for me.

I really love being involved with panels at events. If you really know the topic then panels are a real breeze.

The second panel is another topic I am pretty familiar with. The topic is Monetizing your podcast. Since I have been podcasting over 14 years I have picked up a tip or two.

The Social Media Examiner website puts on this event every year in San Diego.

A few months ago the Social Media Examiner Blog sent out an email to the speakers asking them to submit their predictions for the year of 2018.

These predictions would have to do with Social Media, Podcasting, Videos, Etc.

I was surprised and pleased to see that my prediction for 2018 made the number one spot 🙂

My Prediction was Creators Monetize With Cryptocurrencies

Like I said I was very surprised that it made the list at all , but the fact it was number one blew me away.

Sometimes you know a topic so well that it does not seem as exciting as it does to others who are not as involved in the topic.

If you want to see the full blog post go to Social Media Examiner.

There are some great predictions on this post for sure.

Bitcoin is destructive, but it will only destroy whatever tries to control OUR money.
