Making Connections Via Social Media Blog:
Everyone uses social media for different reasons! Some people use social media to promote their business, share blogs, music and etc. I happen to use social media for my blog site. I started my blog back in 2010, after graduating from high school. I've always been extremely passionate about writing NOT BLOGGING!
Blogging was new to me when I first started. It was fun, fresh and exciting! One day I decided to take it to the next level. I always wanted to interview celebrities, but I didn't know any. No worries, social media helped me out so much. I started posting my blog links on twitter and surprisingly my audience grew. I started to tag celebrities in links and they begun to retweet and favorite the links without me asking them to.
My first interview was with Pat the Roc, a professional street baller. He followed me on twitter and I asked him if he was interested in being interviewed for my blog. Surprisingly, he said yes! I know, you're probably thinking, "Why is she saying surprisingly?" Well, that's because at that time I was new to the blogging scene. I never interviewed anyone before. After interviewing Pat the Roc, I became even more hungry for interviews. I started reaching out to tons of celebrities and they we're actually responding, willing and excited to interview with me. Over the years, I've interviewed several names such as Gina Prince-Bythewood, Yandy Smith, Trey Burke, Claudia Jordan, Sundy Carter, Al Jarreau, Charles Bibbs, Rob Hill Sr. and a great deal of other amazing individuals.
So back to the topic of the blog. Don't allow people to make you feel bad for always being so engaged in social media. Social media is your friend, so utilize it. It was created to make connections and help you expand your platform. With all of the new social media sites and technology out right now there's no reason why your plans should not fall through. Push and promote. SEND OUT LINKS, TAG PEOPLE, POST VIDEOS and etc. Social media can help you in more ways then you know!
