Let's Talk Tuesday - Periscope.

Heyo,
Today we talk Periscope & let me begin with;

I DON'T KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT PERISCOPE,



but, I do know that it's a big deal. SO I caught my new friend Chris Mcmanamy's latest scope & decided I should probably do a little research. I then found who I am going to call the "Goddess of SM" She is probably my newest interest because she knows what's up. Sue B Zimmerman you are awesome.

I followed her on everything and anything, and on Sunday, she tweeted out; https://twitter.com/SueBZimmerman/status/676037113536712704

at first (to be honest) I was like meh, whatever (bad attitude I KNOW) Then I saw (a follower I already have) tweeted to, +Vincenzo Landino tweeted out that he was doing his top 7 periscope accounts to follow. This really peaked my interest, because I don't know who to follow, so hey I'll watch. I followed up him with watching @fitfabfive5 and her scope on being a badass!

After completely LOVING these 2 I was like well, I should probably watch +Sue B. Zimmerman as well, and I did. Not a mistake.



Hello, Sue is a genius. So I am now a fan, I already love her on snapchat & I am going to watch & listen & learn because Sue you are fabulous! (Suck up much? I KNOW)

I also watched, Amy - +schmittastic who is a doll & a youtube extraordinaire. Every day I'm hustling (ok yes & no, but really every day I'm learning an extreme amount of fabulousness) I don't really do Youtube, but hey, if Amy says they rock, who am I to not at least, check it out? Now I have subscribed to Amy's top 7 YouTubers, I have about 5 bil hours of videos to watch (including Amy's)



Do you follow & love these individuals? If the answer is NO, you should & if you do WHY didn't you tell me about them?

Anyone else I should follow on Periscope? - Please post them in the comments <3

xo.

Lets Talk Tuesday! Who to follow on Snapchat!

Hello Peoples,

Hope you are all having a fabulous week. I spent this weekend at a hockey tournament for my middle stepson, technically today is my Monday & I am exhausted.

Lets Talk TUESDAY - Is actually happening on a Tuesday this week (This is rare, let's celebrate)

Today, I wanna talk about snapchatters I highly enjoy.

I have so many, some days it takes me a solid half hour to watch their stories. #FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) Gets me good with snapchat. I want to know what's going on. I totally want to be in the loop! 

Anyone feel me? Do you snap? If so, add little ol me:

Anywho, enough about me. Without further ado, my favorites (for the moment) snappity snappers:

These are in no particular order because I love them all equally ;) Follow all these fab gals & guys by scanning their snapcode with your phone.

Lets Talk Tuesday - Managing Social Media

Hello Friends!

*Side note- It's day 3 of #MinsgameBoss ... What have you gotten rid of today?*

Let's get to the point, today I am going to discuss how I manage Social Media for 4 different business, for free, on the side - all without wanting to end it all. 

I am slowly making progress but my fiance & my boss aren't quite on the same page as I am. They don't understand how Social Media Marketing could help. They also won't put any money into it, alas, I do what I can.

Response to my attempts at convincing them about SM Marketing.

I manage Twitter & Facebook for: Hills & Valley Water Systems, AnaLorr Design (My Design Company), Silver Brook Paints (also my Full-Time job) & Outgoing Owl. It's exhausting sometimes but then I have days of complete awesomeness & it makes it all worth it. 

My Fiance & I got a sale last week, that I am 100% sure came from twitter, and that is exciting! It means it is working!

How do I do this without contemplating ways in which to murder everyone & or chuck my computer at the wall? 

One word, One company, One amazing life saving application: BUFFER! 

Honestly, I would die without my little buddy buffer.

I schedule 10 tweets for 3 out of 4 business all in one shot, usually in the morningish (10-12) when I am feeling my most productive! 

& I let it be for the next 10 days. I respond to any RT's, favourites (or now hearts?), likes or comments.

For now that is it.  I am learning where our customers are for each business and where I should probably be focusing more energy. Twitter is great for my Design business, Pinterest would be better for My boss & our store with Twitter. Facebook is where it's at because of the age group for my Fiance & I's water treatment company. It's weird what you start to realize when you pay attention.

I look at the analytics that buffer provides and it gives me enough insight. For now since no one is paying me, what I am doing is working but if I want to one day work for companies who will pay me I have so much more to learn so this is a great stepping stone! I don't want to feel like I am overwhelmed (then I get all kinds of anxiety & that's fun for no one. Ever)

There is so much for me to learn in this industry, I know I'll figure it out one day. I follow all sorts of amazing people on Twitter, read blogs, watch videos, & participate in Twitter chats to learn & learn some more. That being said, if you have any advice for me please send it my way!

Thanks for reading!

The MinsgameBOSS .... What?

Hey Friends!

So I recently met +One Girl, Two Cities ... Aka. Laura on Twitter and she was tweeting me about #MinsgameBOSS and I was like, "Huh?"

So of course I asked, and she told me to check out her blog:
http://www.onegirltwocities.com/2015/10/26/minsgame-monday-a-preview/
So I did.

Now, If you have been to lazy to click on any of the above options to figure out what Minsgame BOSS is... I guess I'll tell you.

It is how I am going to eliminate 465 items of clutter from my life & from my home in the month of November. Starting Nov 1, You grab ONE item and you get rid of it, you get rid of it good. Then on Nov 2nd, you get rid of TWO ITEMS! Then Nov 3rd, you get rid of THREE ITEMS! I think you get it. Keep this up for all 30 days and that will accumulate to a whomping 465 items!!! Say what?!

That's right people, say goodbye to the clutter. Say goodbye to those 5 pairs of pants that you & I both know you will never fit into again, I don't care how hard you try. If it's been more then a year and you haven't used or worn something, then it is time for it to go. Still have those 552 teddy bears you slept with as a child. I mean come on, you're a grown up now. Lets try to eliminate at least 1 ;). You know that junk drawer? (Don't lie to me, I know you have one) It's time to clean it out. What is even there??? Possibly a dead animal, you don't know! That cell phone you bought in 1973, It's gotta go (possibly to the Smithsonian) I'm just saying.

Have I convinced you? Are you stoked about No Clutter November & The MinsGame? I know I am so come and join us. 

Make sure if you join, you post what you're getting rid of everyday for all of us to see -- check out the above websites for all the information & more awesomeness <3 

Lets Talk Tuesday: Social Media Relationships

Hey Everyone,
Am I actually writing to anyone? Please leave comments if you are reading this :)

If you're anything like me, you probably have more friends online then off.
I used to be an extremely outgoing individual, and once I know you, I still am but I am finding society as a whole is difficult to talk to in real life, until you establish a common ground.

This doesn't apply online, why? Because you're already into the same things. Personally I mostly pay attention to Interior Design & Social Media Marketing on my social media so anyone I connect with is also into at least one of those things maybe both so we already have something to discuss.

You're really gonna get me all up in your business if you make a Harry Potter reference. 

Do you like, Harry Potter, Marketing & Interior Design? Then we're already besties - bring it in ;)

So, why does this matter?

I just find it curious, and very intriguing that we can make a better relationship on social media then in real life 8 times out of 10.

Just today, at the mall a young man and myself both looked up from our phones and shared a little smile. How often do those things happen? & how often do we miss them? Are we so caught up in our social media worlds, that we are missing key real life meetings? OR are we making new & better friends through our social media relationships? 

Now I know meet-ups happen quite frequently in the United States but I don't hear of many here in Canada (Specifically, Ottawa) So what comes of these meet-ups? You already know you're on the same page, you know you have similar interests, so when you meet face to face, do you become awesome friends really quickly?

I hope I get some feedback on this post because I am genuinely curious what happens at a meet-up & as they don't occur where I live, I would have to travel and that's just not gonna happen. Not anytime soon anyways.

<<---- Look forward to comments on this ---->>
