Are you Being Social on Social Media?

I love browsing through my social media accounts daily. I enjoy checking out what everyone is doing, where they've been and finding out new things, but I'm not always active in social media. At times it can be overwhelming because there are so may different type of sites that serve different purposes for a business owner. We have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, blogs, and the list goes on. So how do you go about posting to all the sites? Instagram is my absolute FAVORITE social outlet with Pinterest as a close second. I love looking through all the photos, learning what's new, seeing the latest wedding dress and what those I'm following are talking about on their blogs. So, what's holding me back from posting? Nothing at all. I'm getting like Nike and I'm just going to do it from this day forward. Even if it's only a few words I share with the world I'm going to get active in the social media world and not just be an onlooker. With that being said, I updated my Event Designer">Thumbtack account today. I didn't even remember I had an account established. I thought I was doing something new! A Colleague/Friend of mine sent out a request to his address book asking all those that have worked with him to comment on his services. What a great idea to get those comments going! I like that Thumbtack has a variety of resources available for all kinds of things from the event industry to house cleaning. So we'll see how this goes. I also learned that creating a social media schedule and using tools like Hootsuite are a great help in managing and establishing all your social media outlets to increase your social presence on the internet. Yes, this can be very time consuming, but in this day and age of the internet we have to do it! Whether we use social media for personal reasons or for business purposes it is a way of life. Let me know how you do it. I want to hear about your success and your challenges. We can help each other from our personal experiences. Eventfully your's, Jennifer
