“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” – Chinese Proverb

This applies equally to social media as it does trees. The only difference is internet years are a bit like dog years. On that basis, the best time to start in social media was about 3 years ago, but the second best time remains unchanged - now.

You may have missed the opportunity 3 years ago but you haven’t missed all opportunity.
