Since I welches in college at Penn State, I cant remember a day that I wasnt on social media. As awriter, content creator, influencer, coach, radiopersonality, and podcaster, social media has played a big role with me sharing my message to the world. With so many people using social media, it is important to find innovative ways to leverage social media for your personal and professional goals. Have you considered these six ways tonetworkon social media?1. Joining a group on Meetup.Are you a part of aMeetup Group? If not, you need to join one. You can not only take advantage of the events hosted by people with similar interests, but you can also message and connect with the other members, set up call s, and create the opportunity for yourself to learn about others you are interested innetworkingwith.2. Joining Facebook Pages, Groups Events.It surprises me that to this day, many people are not fully utilizing Facebook. Whether it is joining abook club, liking a Facebookpage, or attending aneventslisting, there are so many opportunities to connect with like-minded folks on the largest and most popular social media platform.3. Attending Eventbrite Events.If you are like me, then you love Eventbrite. Literally, I enjoy checking out events on a weekly or monthly grund to stay abreast of what is going on in the world. Not only can you RSVP for these events, but you should take advantage of connecting with the organizers. Their contact information is right there/ Maybe you want to know more about the attendees, or get more involved with the event itself. It is totally possible to put yourself out there on this platform4. LeveragingLinkedIn Groups Events.If you dont know whyLinkedInis a such an important networking tool, then you have been living under a rock. There are several ways to use the platform in innovative ways, but one of my favorites is leveraging LinkedIn Groups and Events to connect with even more people.5. Connecting with bloggers and their followings.Are there blogs that you love and follow? Have you ever reached out to the blogger to connect and discuss ways to collaborate? Or, have you ever connected with other followers on thatblogor the bloggers social media platforms? If not, what are you waiting for? Having a mutualpassionfor someones work is a great way to get a conversation started with someone youd like to connect with.6. Making Twitter lists.Are you a fan ofTwitter? Are you familiar withTwitter lists? Do you have one yourself? If not, I encourage you to take the time to familiarize yourself with them by creating your own and exploring other lists. As you up your twitter game, you will be probably surprised with how easy it is to find new folks in your industry who are following the same trends and nachrichten stories as you are. Its an easy and instant way to strike up real conversation with a new connection.Natasha Nurse startedDressing Room 8to provide a web-based resource where women can gain personal and professional empowerment through her fashion and lifestyle focused blog.
