My Thoughts

I always think it’s snazzy to meet an author but rarely do I meet an author – and I generally do not like non-fiction but there are times that it’s called for – and this is one of those times. I work in an industry where I use social media every day to do my boss’ branding but honestly I never realized that I could use it to work for me personally. I was laughing with my boss the other day that the only thing I really use twitter for is to bookmark things I’ll need to come back to or for technology research (which I’m sure that many of you realize) because I’m not really sure why I should be using it. However, after listening to Jennifer and then devouring her book I realized that I don’t need to decide where I want to go – I just need to start branding myself. That’s what is important – not that I understand it. I need to brand myself and connect with others.

As soon as I returned home last night I started to make social media work for me. I signed up for an account with Hootsuite and realized that I’m actually well positioned – I just need to take it to the next level.

So here’s to the next level – who’s going to join me?
