The first tip is to figure out why your social media marketing isn’t generating revenue. This is usually a surprise, the reasons why.

You need to figure out how to continue that and that’s what this case study shows how they did.
The number 8 is another case study about how a local meat market uses Facebook to get people into their Brick and Mortar Stores. This is a case study of Stittsworth Meats in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Number 11 is one that you, is definitely going to be a surprise that is, how do you Slideshare to generate sales? I did this for my coaching book.
