Online Dating really is social media taken to a whole new level.
I began online dating four months ago and it occurred to me early on how similar the process was to the way businesses market their goods and services through social media.
Maybe you only have a LinkedIn profile, or you're a member of a few Facebook groups, perhaps you have a Twitter account, or you might even create a couple of Facebook ads each year to grow your business or "all of the above and much more..." you are using social media to grow your brand and your business.
