Learning Through Social Media

I will start by saying I did not have socail media accounts (except a rarely used facebook) or have any interest in them before I began this training, now I have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.

I'm learning how to untilise them to promote my business but have also found them as a valuable source of information for the products I am promoting in my affiliate website.

My website is all about puzzles, I do enjoy puzzles but I have to admit I am no 'expert'. I set up my facebook page for my website and joined some groups for people who like puzzles to share my posts in and have unexpectedly discovered these groups to have an abundance of information. I can see trends in puzzle designs that are popular, other peoples real reviews on puzzles they have completed and discover brands and puzzles I had not seen before but are atually very popular.

The only thing I must point out is there is the obvious temptation to scroll through social media for ages and waste time, so I've set myslf a time limit of 10 minutes to quickly scroll and see if I can see anything that is useful to me and avoid anything else!
