Welcome Tweeters!
You’re probably here because you’ve clicked on the link in my Twitter bio, so I welcome you to my blog. I hope you find me interesting enough to follow.
Here’s a few interesting facts about me and Twitter:
- My first ‘tweet’ was 20 March, 2007… I didn’t post again until 11 October, 2007. The next message was on 14 May, 2008, which is when I actually started to ‘get it’.
- I’m now a big fan of Twitter, but I prefer to use and promote it as a means of adding value to my life.
- If you send me a @ message, I’ll send you an @ right back. I appreciate conversation.
- I love helping people, and this blog has a number of articles that you might like to read. Check out the TAGS section for something of interest to you.
Social media and the future
I've recently worked out that my 'internet interests' have turned into 'social media' interests. And when you're interested in something a lot, it makes you an enthusiast. Eventually, you become an expert if you're into it enough, and if you do it right you can market yourself to clients and business as a social media expert, helping them with their marketing and promotion to take advantage of whatever leverage social media sites can give them.
I think I'm moving forward in that direction.
Not that I'm complaining, because I'm really enjoying what I'm learning, what I'm sharing, and the network that I'm developing and being part of. I can see myself taking advantage of this within the next 12 months and incorporating that into my career aspirations, which are pretty much focused on doing what I love. There are businesses and people out there that pay money for assistance with their marketing and promotion, getting their brand known, and getting their product or service known by as many people as possible.
