Notes de l'éditeur
If you have YES for most of the answers to the above questions, you may be no better than a zombie.
Many people are stuck in where they are. By spending minutes a day to brainstorm and some time on the weekends to blog about your passion and network, you will never know when opportunity knocks on your door and you may get noticed to do something you really like doing. There is always something better out there, you will need to have the drive to want it and stand out from the crowd.
In a nutshell, Social Media is online technologies and practices that people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives with each other.
You need to market yourself to gain attention and eventually do what you like doing. Don’t hide your talents, simply share your knowledge and brand yourself as an expert in what you do.
