Some highlights from today:
Some inspirational words from Adam Singer. He makes sense, there is a LOT out there on the web but knowing your niche is important.
Not as expensive as I thought, but are they effective? Interesting post.
UCLan’s student newspaper gets a re-launch, two years after we first launched it. Good stuff, it’s going to be a great little site once it gets filled out with content.
Been reading a lot of Chris Brogan and Adam Singer recently, all about building your own brand online. I guess that was part of the reason for creating this blog, giving myself the opportunity to explore what I’m working on in more detail and blog about the industry(ies) that I am in.
Brogan posted about how to make the most of your LinkedIn profile and he’s spot on. LinkedIn is far more valuable than facebook. I see facebook as something social, something for keeping in touch but LinkedIn is a professional network. One of the things I picked up from some training last month that the future will involve those who are good and want to be leaders in business, or anything else for that matter, people who are able to build and manage a network.
Networks are even easier to build now thanks to online and social media tools. Make use of them and keep building a network, I know I will be as a I progress through my career. You never know when these people are going to come in useful.
