Welcome back!

When I began marketing my book and this blog, I started joining all the virtual social networks I could find. I definitely joined more than I could ever keep up with, but it has been beneficial. Everyday I receive alerts notifying me of industry folks who are following Sable Lit Reviews on Twitter. I’ve reconnected with old school chums via FaceBook and had recruiters contact me on LinkedIn.

I’ve also created a bunch of pages on the several Ning groups of which I am a part. The best thing is that I don’t have to update them regularly to be effective. I have plugged a blog feed into those sites and they update everytime I update this blog.

I became a believer when a recruiter from a major for-profit unversity contacted me about my writing. The marketing company associated with the school was looking for a copywriter. While nothing materialized from it, I would have never had the opportunity to investigate it without my involvement in social media since I was not familiar with the marketing group.

If for no other reason, join the social media tidalwave for the connections and opportunities it can bring regardless of your business, product or professional skill, not to mention the endless supply of culture you’ll encounter. It will grow to be one of the biggest activities online.
