As Olathe Economist predicts depression is looming, Kansas City Realtor says those using social media will weather storm

If you have been skimming the headlines on Twitter, Facebook, or your Google reader you might have seen a handful of post about an Olathe Agricultural Economist, Bill Helming, predicting a depression is looming.


Bill is making a dire prediction of a beaten-down stock market, a jobless rate at 12 percent, widespread debt defaults and a deflationary price spiral.


Bill has made many predictions in the past. Some of come true and other predictions have not. Will this prediction come true? Bill hopes not. 


What do I think?


There are to many people that are seeing the writing on the wall and have been working on correcting the economy. Whether it is for themselves or for a group of of people.


I think for those people who have not started recession proofing their businesses, they will see very hard times. What do I mean? Technology has passed many people up and their are to many people who have not adapted to the changing times.


For those people who have a strong social network, this Kansas City Realtor believes you will see good times ahead. 


How do you have a strong social network? You use social media to market, advertise and communicate your message with your customers. Doesn't it make sense that a business with 25,000 people in its network will probably weather the economy better than a business with 100 people in its network?


Businesses that have created a social media strategy to their business plans will weather the storm. Need help, contact a social media strategist or connect with a social media group like Kansas City Networking or the Kansas City Directory.
