4. Got something to say? If you don't you are in trouble Get a view and share it Stand for SOMETHING If you are not upsetting some people you are not doing it right… speak to your audience
5. Getting your voice out there... new ways to be heard Traditional media is hard to do You can only physically speak to so many people a day “The Internet” makes it possible to reach a massive audience… but how does an individual do it?
6. What is “Social Networking" and “Social Media”? First of all it is a mind-set… a belief that your voice counts Web sites that allow users to create and share content Words Images Videos Presentations…

11. Start slowly, but start today! There is nothing you can break Take a few minutes to figure out what is unique about you… your “angle” Have a photo of you (NOT your logo) that is friendly and approachable Use it on all social media sites for consistency Hang out on the sites, see how they flow Pipe up when you have something to add Forward/Share/Retweet when you see something interesting Have fun!
