What inspires you?

When I started Social Status, I had to ask myself what motivated me to run this business? What are my passions? What do I believe would work? And how I could make my business work?

I knew that I always had a huge curiosity and I am the kind of person who is constantly reasearching, reading, looking up answers and finding information.

I knew that social media would be a great fit for me, because I love to communicate, I love to learn, I love reading (news items, blog posts, websites, content, newsletters, discussions ... you name it) I love new ideas, I love finding interesting people and learning from them.

I love how fast technology is, how many people are involved with and in social media and how there is so much information that we have access to.

When I thought about my business, I wanted something to stand out, that would show what the most important thing to me was and my tagline was born Be Aware of Wonder ...

I got it from the author of "ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN" by Robert Fulghum.

Schedule your social media

Make time for social media.

Schedule 15 minutes twice a day into your work calendars.

For the first schedule in your calendar:
Check your social media accounts, write an update or two, write a blog post, answer queries, track your industry ( updates, news, comments)

For the second schedule in your calendar: Find information, articles, facts, news, updates so you can write blogs, updates and posts. Track your industry, answer questions, respond to comments on all  your social media accounts.

By scheduling in your social media, you are making the time to write about, market, promote and communicate about your business. You are staying on top of everything happening in your industry and you are keeping people up to date on what us happening in your business.

Social media is dynamic, fast, things happen and change so quickly. Social media accounts have become a good way to keep track of all kinds of information.

Doing 30 minutes of social media work a day will give your business results!
