“A #2 pencil and a dream is all you need to go forth in to your future”

~recent quote spotted in a school

Everywhere I go I tend to see quotes.  Postings on Facebook.  In my Twitter stream.  On classroom walls. And, even on billboards as I drive up and down the LA freeways.  From Gandhi to Einstein to Dr. Phil – there are quotes everywhere!

Which begs these questions:

1- Do you use quotes  in  your social media content?

2- Do quotes really help build an audience and  engage your audience to want to learn more about YOU and YOUR BRAND (versus only pressing FOLLOW, but not really engaging any further)?

3- Do quotes appeal to men and women equally?

4. Which are YOUR favorite quotes?  (I would love to see many of you answer in the comment section!)

So go ahead… educate me (and others) about the value of using quotes in social media… and if you are so inspired – complete the attached poll that will start the discussion by answering question #1.  If you wish to answer any other questions – feel free to use the comment section to do so.

Thanks!
