The power of social media

Ever have one of those "Why didn't I realise this earlier?" moments? I certainly have with regard to social media and boosting traffic to my website and raising my profile generally. Thanks to a cheaply promoted pin or two on Pinterest, plus some active tweeting on Twitter, I've managed to do both.

My niche, which is aviation-based, has a lot of followers on both those platforms. Thanks to following the training and advice here, I've realised it not just my tweets and news that I need to pay attention, but to respond and reply to others - or to include them in my own. It's early days but things are going in the right direction.

I haven't worked as hard on Facebook and will pay attention to that this week. What I haven't done is anything on Instagram, simply as my efforts have been directed elsewhere. Any thoughts on Pinterest versus Twitter?

In other news, I have a logo which makes things look more professional and is consistent across my website and social media. I went through Fiverr and after careful consideration chose a young designer from London with a portfolio I liked. She was prompt, inexpensive and most important, did a great little logo. Thank you to those here that recommended Fiverr.

Plenty to do. I need to work on content this week, while not neglecting the social side. All this while juggling the day job, too. But, nothing worthwhile came easily, right?

I can't respond to all the posts I read but it's great to see the progress, positivity and motivation here. If you happen to be reading this and you're not a Premium Member yet, I can't recommend it highly enough. Don't prevaricate, upgrade now.
