Discussion Forum

Hi Ladies!

I came across this page today and thought I'd share it with you.

I was surprised to see a bullet point for Social Media.  These guys are really with it.

Now I know what to shoot for.  :-)

I have tons of content and "how-to" information for you, but you need to let me know what you are working on so I can give you the info you need.... So POST FOLKS ;)

Tell me the area you're working on, and how it is going for you, and I'll give you pointers as much as possible.

Class II is coming, and it will be more valuable for you the more you get "out there" and active between classes!

Cheers,
Rebekah

I am stretching to take on the world of social media - this is my first attempt at a discussion forum! I got a lot out of the first class. So far, I have set up my LinkedIn profile (BTW, I'm accepting kindly worded feedback) http://www.linkedin.com/in/mariasandersaflac

Somehow I can't help but feel like I'm in the social media equivalent of a high school gym wanting to dance and not knowing how to approach someone...

What is the etiquette for making contacts? For example: I have a client who has connections listed in their profile. One connection sounds like someone I'd like to do business with. How do I know if my client has a strong relationship with that person? Is it okay to just request a connection? Am I supposed to clear it with my client first?

 I need tips on getting started, or maybe just a little nudge onto the dance floor! Your input, please....

Thanks,

Maria

It was a great pleasure to have a conversation with you all about something I am so passionate about!  Working, socializing and sharing on-line.  Each of you brought so much to the class that I am excited to share in your success moving forward. 

Please feel free to post a comment about what worked well, or what did not work for you in this topic.
