So to be honest with everyone, I really was not into doing any kind of social media. To be really honest, I sort of F***ing hated all of it. (Pardon my French) However, my girlfriend started this class in personal branding awhile back which focused all on social media. Turned out the stuff wasn’t too bad. I started to research social media and what it was all about and turns out it can really help you make some real connections with people and help your “Google Juice.” I started using Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook and more. It started off slow, at first I really wasn’t getting anything from it. I was blogging and not getting any kind of feedback from anywhere. I was even feeding my blog to Facebook and Twitter and never got anything.

So my saga went on for a while but I  kept on blogging, tweeting and commenting. I soon started to actually get some views on my blog page. I also started connecting more and more with people on Linkedin and Facebook Fan Pages. Turns out that I actually really do like Twitter. I used to think “Tweeting” was lame and dumb. I didn’t see the benefit it of it at all. How lame does it sound to say you are tweeting? Not very cool, but once I started utilizing Twitter, I found that I really liked it. Yes, it’s fast paced and kind of crazy but if used correctly you can make some pretty cool connections.

So like I said, to me social media did not seem to have any benefit to it at all.  The only reference I had in my mind to social media was Facebook, which I thought was just a big party scene. Yet now I see the benefit to it all. It really is something that can be used for your business and help your business grow. So don’t just say F*** social media, try to utilize it, you never know what connections you might make. Let me know your thoughts!
