I am definitely not an expert in social media, SEO, SEM, etc but I’ve realized that I should be making a more deliberate effort to gain knowledge in these areas and explore ways in which to use social media platforms to communicate and relate to clients, peers, friends, and the idustry at large. So, you could say I’m on a quest for enlightenment! And what I’m finding is that I simply cannot afford to remain ignorant in this rapidly changing arena.  All these platforms are about communication and broadening the accessibility of communication.  In order to stay relevant, stay engaged and continue to meet the needs of an ever changing marketplace, it’s imperative that I remain adequately informed on changing technology and new methods for connecting with the world. I had the privilege of listening to a seminar by Kent Lewis, president of Anvil Media in Portland, Oregon. He’s on a mission to build Anvil into one of the most respected search engine marketing agencies in the world.  Kent believes that Twitter and Linked In are the most powerful of the social media platforms for marketing and reputation management for individuals, executives and companies alike. Here is a great article for all those who want to take your LinkedIn and Twitter profiles to the next level: LinkedIn and Twitter Profile Optimization for Dimwits. There is plenty more to check out on Anvil’s site as well.  I hope you run into some helpful information. Follow BelieversPress on Twitter, join the group on LinkedIn, or become a fan on Facebook.
