I’m going to take a break today from the “Getting Out of Debt Series” because a golden opportunity has arisen. A post on Wordful has come to my attention. One which I would regret for years if I had not entered. Here is my entry for the Social Media Success Summit!
My biggest problem when blogging – ironically enough – is social media. How do I utilize it? How do I make sure I have a large enough fan base to hear what I have to say? What can I do to gain leverage? There is no way, shape or form my blog will gain without the use of social media. Right now, Twitter is the only social media site I participate actively in. How do I get Facebook, StumbleUpon, and possibly even LinkedIn involved with my blog? Do you see a common theme?
- There is a lot information that I don’t know.
- Social Media Success Summit can easily help me.
How will SMSS be able to help me?
Not only will some of the world’s most talented marketers will be on hand, but a group of people who are just like me. It’s not only the fact that experts like Gary Vaynerchuk, Darren Rowse, Chris Garrett and Brian Clark will be there. It’s the fact that the person who is yet to unveil that beautiful bouquet of flowers will be there as well. I am that person.
The fact that I am only thirteen probably goes into your decision as well. I am going to tell you I am 100% committed to Command Your Time and my online profile. I’ve started to take on the responsibility of posting during my vacation in the summer. I treat my blog as I would with any task or job at hand: with complete focus.
How do I envision my success as a blogger?
Since I run a blog on success, I think I’m pretty qualified to give you a half-decent answer here. My online success includes the following principles: a community who gives me feedback and supports me at every turn, conquering the oddities of social media, SEO, and copywriting, and finally being able to share my story as someone who made it big at a young age.
I’m going to be completely honest: I expect to make my blog into a world class home, but I don’t expect to do it alone. SMSS09 is a perfect stepping stone for me to a) help connect with people who love marketing and b) understand the marketing world that much more.
As I look through the Social Media Success Summit schedule, I see my interest gravitating to each and every one of the sessions. “How to create a mega following,” “how to utilize Facebook,” “how to engage my Twitter audience.” Am I dreaming or what? These are the same questions I ask every day.
The power is in your hands! Make my dream come true!
