Happy Monday Everyone!

In my last blog post I explained the relevance of using Social Media as a business owner looking to grow a network. Social Media is one of the BEST tool to have as a growing business or anyone looking to grow a community within their interests. As a lot of you know, my client is fashion stylist Andrea Whaley of Wardrobe Interventions based in Austin, Texas. She is looking to grow her network and reach new clients and interested Twatchers (for Twitter) and Facebookers! This is just one of the many posts I am blogging about to help her do so!

My past couple of posts on here were about Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr. This week I want to talk about maintenance of your network, blogs, social media accounts and knowledge of your profession.

Delicious is a social bookmarking manager that allows the user to keep track of websites and blogs that interest the account holder. The website breaks down all websites into a personal tab that allows the user to find, follow and subscribe to places of interest online. My personal account is centered around Public Relations, Social Media, Fashion Stylist and blog builders that help me discover new and improved ways on mastering my technique.

 

 

Any business can use this bookmarking website to their advantage! I felt that this would be one of the best ways for my client to keep track with what is happening in her profession. A successful business owner should constantly know creatively different and new ways to make her business better. By using this website, Andrea Whaley of Wardrobe Interventions can subscribe to other fashion stylists to network, learn new way to get customers and build a community. Sometimes, even the most creative of people need help getting new ideas! and this is a perfect way to do that.

Delicious is also a great tool to have when learning new techniques on social media. Like my picture example above, this social bookmarking site can help a business learn how to gain followers on twitter, build a community with a blog and build a website from scratch successfully. Countless of websites and blogs can be accessed from this site and be useful to a growing business.

Other websites you might know about like Diigo and Pinterest can also be used for social bookmarking online. Diigo is basically the same concept as Delicious, however in my opinion Delicious is a way easier website to navigate on. Pinterest is another social bookmarking website that provides a more visual aspect compared to Diigo or Delicious.

So just remember, every business that wants to grow a network and community needs to stay up-to-date on what is new. Constant upkeep is always essential when working and learning in the area of social media and blogging. Social media is constantly changing and growing, and so should the minds of all growing business owners! Staying updated will make your business a lot easier than you might think!

So in the words of my wise professor, “Remember, Social Bookmarks are your friends!”  

Have a great week everyone!

XOXO
