Many of us use social media as an escape from our everyday mundane life. Spending countless hours in front of a computer at work isn’t enough; we must spend even more time at home staring at our twitter friend count increasing. Whether you use social media for personal reasons or to spread the word on your newest business endeavors, what you post on your individual page can speak volumes about you. The 140 characters on your Twitter bio says a lot more about yourself than you would ever think. “My name is Amanda, I enjoy long walks on the beach, mocha Frappuccino’s and well of course anything & everything having to do with Marketing” Hopefully I’d be attracting some fellow marketing lovers to build up my networking but unfortunately the Twitter bots will send me spam offers to take a trip to bora bora and win a free cup of coffee.
The idea of truly capturing yourself in few words is a challenge on its own. 140 characters may not seem like much but with the proper phrases and wording you can eloquently express who you are and what you can offer. Taking yourself too serious and coming across uptight will only scare off potential new connections, it is after all SOCIAL media. Use your social media to network and position yourself to increase your contacts. Social media continues to grow within the last 10 years, without an end in sight. Traditional networking events have begun to diminish, if you are tech savvy and only interesting online, use this to your advantage. Be brief, witty and have fun with it “Amanda is the name. Marketing Consultant. Sales Pro. Social Media Guru, well that’s what my mom tells me at least”
