Social Media Takes Over my Life

I started blogging recently and its been a waterfall of SOCIAL MEDIA ALL DAY EVERYDAY.

Wow.  I didn't see that coming. I thought Twitter was lame (I still kind of do!)

I was one of the last of my friends to create a Pinterest.

Facebook and I have relationship issues.

I started my blog 2 years ago and ignored it for the last year and 10 months.

So what gives?  Well, I'm a SOCIAL person and I can do it all day long and in my sleep wherever I may be.  But what else? Because you can make money off it.  You can get a job.  Make friends.  Build a following (woot! I feel popular).

Put that all together and it feels like I am creating a path for myself that's leading to something.... something I'm gonna like a whole lot.  I don't know what it is yet, but something is brewing.

Basically being social means creating connections.  Creating connections leads to opportunity and discovery. And that is GOOD STUFF.

I'm no expert, but here are some resources around getting a job, marketing yourself and building your skills and a career using Social Media
