So today I started working on this whole social media thing so you’ll be hearing a lot about what I’m learning, how I’m using it, what’s working and what’s not working. I’ll also be passing along the tips and shortcuts that I find along the way (and so far, just in basic research, there’s a LOT!).<\/p>\n

\"SocialMy focus is going to be on Pinterest, Twitter, Google Plus, Google Hangouts and YouTube. I’m probably going to be throwing some Facebook stuff in here and there as well, but that’s not going to be my primary focus unless I find out something really huge along the way that says I should. Also, I’m not real big into LinkedIn so unless I start finding my target market is shifting, I won’t be doing much there either.<\/p>\n

I know that it seems as though I’ve chosen ALL of the social media avenues, but I know there’s a ton more out there… not to mention that Google Plus, Google Hangouts and YouTube work hand-in-hand so I’m really only playing with three.<\/p>\n

The goal is going to be to find shortcuts for creating images, figuring out which images, colors and such work best over at Pinterest and then working on cross promotions between there and my blog. I expect Twitter and Google Plus to come in handy for promoting one side or the other or both, and I’ll be continuing to use Hangouts and YouTube to explain what I’m doing, create video SEO, and promote the people who I’m finding the best information from in regards to Social Media Advertising.<\/p>\n

I’m really looking forward to seeing how this all works as well as sharing the results and shortcuts! I truly believe that relationship building is a huge key to building a sustainable business so I’ve joined several communities, created one or two of my own, and will more than likely be creating a Facebook group as well, where I can join forces with like-minded people to share ideas about using social media to market as well.<\/p>\n
