The New Media Atlanta Conference is designed to advise you, in both concrete and visionary ways, how to get your name, brand, and business philosophy known on the internet. In his New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller Trust Agents*, the NMATL key presenter Chris Brogan stresses how imperative it is to “dip your toe in [to social media]. And more. Maybe even do a cannonball. The water might be cold sometimes, sure, but you’ll get used to the cold while your competitors will still be scared. And you’ll be floating.” And  as Chris points out, a business’s ability to establish trust with potential clients makes all the difference between surviving and thriving in this new media era.  Social media sites provide  the perfect platform for you to put yourself out there, be authentic, and show the world what you’re passionate about, thereby attracting the kind of people who want to do business with you. ”This is what evolves naturally,” says Chris. “If you act like a good citizen, and you feel like One of Us, the benefits arise without much thought. It’s not the negative interaction of quid pro quo, but instead the positive concept of ‘good things happen to good people.’” Now, that’s a refreshing concept.
