Monday Funday: January in Review

The first Friday of each month, I do a quick article reviewing topics from the previous month, including links to the articles, breaking it down by platform and theme as well as providing a link to read the full article.  Unfortunately, while I started the article on Friday, I didn't get to finish it till Sunday night, so it's not going up till Monday. A wee bit late.

As always, I'm glad to answer questions folks have and look forward to more questions coming my way.

The Monday Search - These are the job listings I posted each week.
Tuesday Tips: All
  • Jan. 20: Tuesday Tips: Don't Give Up - A brief discussion about not giving up on social media even if it seems like what you are doing isn't working. Remember it takes time to build a brand, build followers and build followers who engage and interact. Give it time.
  • Jan. 27: Tuesday Tips: Watch and learn - Another quick tip, which relates to all social media platforms, is sometimes to sit back, watch and learn how the platforms work and what engages people the most. Sometimes watching and learning is your best bet to learn as you go.
