Bittersweet Endings

Well, after 8 weeks of class my social media marketing class is coming to an end. Most students would be happy about this but for this class it is a bittersweet ending to me. I have found this class to be exceptionally helpful in my social media journey. This course pushed me outside my comfort zone...which is the best place for us sometimes and made me do things I wouldn't have done before. I broadened my social media interaction with Twitter, Instagram, LinkeIn and my favorite, this blog. I will continue to utilize social media to grow my business and have a cre8ive outlet for myself. I  am actually sad that this class is ending but I am excited to utilize the tools I have learned from it. I try to learn something new everyday whether that learning is about myself, others or just life in general. The last 8 weeks has been easy for me in that aspect. BTW-One of the best project assignments of this class was to create a podcast and a branding video. As an excessive DIYer I found

Podcast

Well, I finally recorded my first podcast...nervously! It funny how you can be nervous, sitting in a room by yourself talking to a computer. I used Speaker.com which was very easy to use. I just downloaded the app and it walked me right through it. If you are a first time podcaster or want to give it a try this would be a great tool to start with. I am leaving a link with my first podcast so you can listen if you want to, like I said I was nervous for some reason and you can tell. I didn't edit it because I think its ok to be nervous and not perfect as long as you are willing to try! Step out of your comfort zone and Cre8 your own greatness!! https://www.spreaker.com/ episode/12991308

Who knows you?

Social Media is an important aspect of growing your own brand, but what social media is the most helpful? Which platform is the best suited for your goals? This is a hard question that everyone using social media has to answer for themselves. Whether you are looking for a personal or professional outlet, there is a social media answer. Most of us are familiar with the personal social media platforms that are available but may be ignorant to the professional side of social media. There are many professional platforms that can help you further your brand but which ones will work for you. I have found that  Linkedln is one of, if not the leading contender for the most popular professional social media platform. I set up a Linkedln account this week. I found it very easy to navigate and even easier to connect with others. The saying used to be "Its not what you know, its who you know" in our world today it has transitioned to "its not who you know, its who knows you"

Anything you can do, I can do to! Fall is an amazing time of year not only because I simply love the weather and the comfort food,  but it is the best time of year to decorate! I love seeing how people decorate differently. Everyone has their own taste and style which I really appreciate and enjoy. I often see items that I love either at someone's house or in a retail shop that I want to add to my own collection of seasonal décor only to find out there is no possible way I am going to spend that much money on something that I don't need. So, with that being said I believe where there is a will. there is a way! I found some wooden stars that I loved and could be used for more that one holiday ( I love dual purpose décor). When I looked them up online I found a ridiculous price attached to them. Therefore I went to my "go to" solution of YouTube DIY'ers. YouTube is a great platform and useful tool for the projects and ideas I have or want to know more about. It
