How Social Media can help YOU!

By Beverly • February 4, 2009

As I was writing this article, I asked my self: Would this be an Obama Article, again? Definitely a NO! Though, I would be referring to President Obama’s success in his powerful use of Web 2.0. This article would definitely talk about on how social media can help YOU in this plummeting economy.

An article titled, “How Social Media Helped Barack Obama to Become the Most Powerful Man”, gave a blow by blow account of how the President embraces Social Media and use it to reach out and be heard by the people. Some of the stories of how Obama camgpaign affected so many people, brought tears to my eyes; there are just so many untold and heroic stories all because of President Obama through social networks.

But my question is: Could social media help an ordinary user like me or YOU? The answer is: Yes, the social networks that we are an active member can help us in some ways to either get hired or just be heard.

Though before our families in these social networks can help us; they need to know what happen to us. We need to advertise ourselves in these social networks.

Here are some suggestions on how social media can help me and YOU.

Join social networks like Linked In, Facebook, Myspace, Ning, and twitter.

Fill in your profile in these networks. Beforehand, you got to be a visible member of these social networks.

As you join Linked In, ask your contacts to recommend you. And participate in the Question and Answer so that your expertise can be known.

Connect or bond with your twitter friends and families in your local area. To have so many friends means so many news bearer of Jobs Vacancy in your local area. The story of chrisbrogan@twitter is such an inspiring one. He lost a job and was hired by a family on twitter.

I really got a bleak feeling that thousands I wish not millions of people would be jobless for the next few months. Yet, my next hope would be- that these people would know how to advertise themselves to the World Wide Web so that employers can get hold of quality manpower all over the world.

About the Author

Beverly

Reading is my passion. To create pictures from words is my dream. To be able to write and convey message, influence and move people is one of my fantasies. Avery effective writer at that. I also want to be an educator... not only in the four corners of a classroom but also beyond those enclosures. I want to be an educator... of life, love, languages and travel. I have already started the process of becoming one. I am studying to get a certificate for teaching to get a licensed and become a licensed educator. Let it be through internet or through a university. It will take me a year to complete my Professional Education. I have always been fascinated with languages and now is the right time to reach it. I aim to communicate at least 1 European language let it be Spanish, Italian or French. To be able to widen my horizons and reach out and understand articles and blogs beyond the English language. Besides reading and writing… travel… is another glory. Someday I will be able to blog about cities that captures the heart of many. I am also a fanatic of Greek Mythology and Inspirational Stories and Poem. One poem written by an 85 year old woman dying of cancer “If I have My Life to Live All Over Again” and a short story “The Story of Rose” are just two of my favorites.
