Here is a coffee for you

social networking...ahh what a topic and many have their own opinions and thoughts about this wonderful ever changing landscape! What I am putting here are things that I have learned and trust me I am still learning every single day...not a bad thing by the way, but a learning curve.

I just know that there are going to be those who feel that the number is in the list and that with the sheer amount of numbers, then statistically, someone is going to listen to you...maybe! I don't agree with it and that is a fact, but like anything you need to form your opinions by asking questions and researching everything there is to know ...time consuming but worth the effort. The reality at least for me is that you are networking to brand yourself, to bring into the arena your uniqueness or your "selling point" and that takes time to find.

As for blogging, well I love blogs, I love the people who spend so much time doing what they love and creating for themselves their "own social media".. it takes work and time to build. yes blogs are fairly easy to set up, but its the doing and being your own publisher is where the real work comes in.

I will be very open and upfront with you...I am not into marketing ( that is a science that I really suck at...lol), but I love reading blogs that deal with subjects that I am interested in... families, family issues, social media etc. and I am a faithful fan to many of them...lol boy do I read a lot in a day!

You have to find your path and find what works for you..the good news is that there are many many people who will help you...all you have to do is ask.

What I am finding is that without a good profile, you are lost! Being real is paramount if you are to be taken with any credibility and learning how to leverage your credibility into something that will bring people to YOU is important, especially in today's landscape.

One thing I would add is that if you see a person who keeps changing their "programs" like they change their socks...maybe think about whether aligning yourself with them is the best thing to do?

Glad you liked the post and hope you have a fantastic evening ( see I got my timing right for a change...lol)

Great words with even greater meaning....
