Last Monday night I started teach social media. I loved every second of it. In a few weeks I am starting to teach how to blog {see here if you haven’t already – it’s not too late to register}.
Social media is not a fad.
How well you embrace it will give you an edge above your competitors.

Social media is my job. Teaching it, designing it, writing it, creating it.
Think about how YOU use it? What are your strengths and weakness and how can you improve {that’s if you’re running a business and trying to make money}…
Happy Saturday! X
