Don't sell yourself, but get on the bandwagon...

Found an interesting read about social media marketing written by Dr. Marcha Petrova, an ENG (Engineer Network Group) member on LinkedIn ...

“If you enter into social networking trying to sell [yourself] on every blog post, tweet and Facebook update... you will fail miserably... and then complain that social networking is a waste of time.”

“If you use social tools to provide relevant, interesting information to the community you serve, she says, you will increase your company’s credibility or your standing as an expert in the field.”

Well said !

Also found, was a recently published article by Dr. Marcha in the Magazine for Professional Engieers ... (only a part of the article)

“ In a survey of teens, Deloitte LLP found that 88% use social networks every day, and 58% said they’d consider whether they could access them at work when weighing a job opportunity.”

Makes you think ... doesn’t it.

Facts:

Social Media is here to stay, it’s only going to get bigger.
No use trying to avoid it, no use being scared of it.
No use in thinking you’re too old for this...
No use in thinking it’s a time waster.
Just get out there, and do it!

Like the saying goes:-) you can turn every bad situation into a positive 1, it’s the way you look at it... That makes a difference.
