Teaching the strategic why-to & how-to of Social Media to develop a Digital Self Marketing Advantage for personal branding & job search (PB&J).

It is no secret that I love social media. I use it. I teach it. I live it.

I began with LinkedIn for personal branding, became friends with Facebook, grew into Twitter and Google+ for social sharing, and now wave my geek flag at my blog: Digital Self Marketing Advantage.

Yes, I heart social media.

Honestly, I check my social media accounts more often than I check my email.

However, it is not for what you think.

My love for social media is not for the number of followers, retweets, or blog comments. While those responses tickle a smile and energize my engagement, my true love for social media is simply an extension of my love for learning. My personal learning network is the secret to my secret social media success.

I absolutely and unequivocally love social media because it feeds my life-long passion for learning and provides me an opportunity to teach and share what I learn with others.

My academic career of teaching, research, speaking, consulting and course development has had an integrated progression from mail-order marketing to direct marketing to e-Marketing to Social Media Marketing and now to Digital Marketing.

Thank you WordPress, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+, and Facebook. You complete me.

I am available as a speaker for your club, association, conference, or business organization on topics related to social media marketing, personal branding, or job search.
