Very true Angela. We are all evangelists.

You’re a social media evangelist if you try to be one, and you’re one if you’ve succeeded at being one. Preaching means attempting to convince through words and actions.

Social media evangelism has paid my bills for nearly a year and I think a huge key has been to see it for what it is – helping people, organizations and companies use blogs and other online social tools to accomplish goals. The tools will always change. The need to achieve will never disappear. There will always be a place for mentors and advisors.

I enjoyed the post and all the comments. It seems to me that the terms evangelist and enthusiast are terms one chooses for themselves, based on their own defining criteria. (I love the uncharted territory of social media!)

I consider myself a social media evangelist.
Do I use Twitter every day? Yes. Do I have a Facebook account and do I use other social networks? Yes.

Is this relevant?

Not really. Social media is so much more than just social networks. It’s about blogs, video sharing, photo sharing, micro-blogging, forums and much, much more. It’s about connecting, socializing and making our worlds come together by interacting with each other by using online technologies.

I explain Twitter to people lots of times, I write blogs and produce video’s over here in Holland to make people aware of the power of social media. Almost no one ever heard of Twitter or Facebook.

I believe social media is a very powerful thing. And we are merely at the beginning of it’s true evolution. I am passionate about social media and what it can bring to individuals, businesses and organisations.

If you feel passion for something and you share your passion with others, you are an evangelist. Wether for social media, Ben & Jerry icecream or Harry Potter books.

When you are passionate about something, be it social media or Coach hand bags, start contributing to the conversation. Take the time to research and educated come before you participate, don’t rush, all good things come in time. And I agree, you don’t have to tweet 1000 times per day to be an evangelist.

@bloggingmom67: I was half-joking. I was raised in a Catholic Church and am a former altar boy!

And I know exactly what you mean.

I read someone’s blog and forgive me for not remembering it but it mentioned how can anyone be an expert/ evangelist if they haven’t failed. I think that’s a true statement and in fact I think we are so early into this paradigm shift I think we are still understanding and trying to figure out the roles that drive value. I think there has been very few failures so far.
