The Startup Success Podcast

This week Bob interviews Victoria Ransom, co-founder of Wildfire Interactive. Wildfire is in the business of designing interactive Facebook promotions and contests for large companies, small firms and startups.

Victoria does an excellent job explaining what Facebook can do for your startup, what it’s going to take to get sales results out of social media interaction, the phases of interaction your startup will go through building its social network and lots more. If you want to a clear social media roadmap for your startup, listen to this interview. Three times.

And a quick word about our new sponsor, InfluAds.
