4. Blogger – Post Popularity
Note: give you posts a clever title and people will read it. For
example: “I need to remember to vibrate”. You may think it’s about
one thing and its really about something else but you’re reading it
anyway. It’s a clever way to capture your audience.
5. Blogger - Vlogging
Vlogging was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to
do.
Time to completion: 2 hours

Fell short of 2 minutes
In hindsight I would have been more detailed about my
educational and work history.
Although it’s a great way to express yourself beyond words.
6. Blogger –To be continued?
Will I continue to blog? The answer is YES, but not as a personal brand.
Though I believe branding for professional purposes is important I don’t feel
blogging is right for me.
Blogging as a personal connection to an audience.

8. Twitter
Member since 2008, 99 followers, following 434
I’m more of a follower than a participant simply because I don’t
know what to say.
I will continue use and be more active on Twitter to promote my
blog and personality.
Who do I follow: Scott Kelby, 20SomethingBloggers, Mashable
Strengths: Communicate anytime anywhere, simplicity in 120
characters or less.
Weaknesses: Information overload, until recently you couldn’t
take a message back, not relatable to every age group, lack of
timely and relevant information can lose your audience.

Great educational and job search resource.
11. In Conclusion
Online Communities, i.e. Mashable
Social Media [Marketing] is your virtual footprint so say
what you mean and mean what you say because you
can’t take it back.
Great for business if you put in the time and use it
responsibly.
For business I would all social media networks. Each has
its purpose and if done right can augment each other.
