A marketing platform does not simply happen as the result of having a large following on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. It is the planned result of cultivating information brokers (as Malcolm Gladwell calls them), people who are the Paul Reveres of their networks. When they talk, people listen and are more likely to take their recommended action. You are the kingpin in your network, creating and coordinating the links between the two parts of a successful platform: the messengers and the intended recipients.
