Are You A Social Marketing Rockstar?

Since starting the New Media Drivers License class I have been drowning myself in learning about and using all the hot social media tools out there….our assignment this week was to Google Blog Search a social media topic and write about it.  Since the assignment was posted I have been reading blog after blog on social marketing and social media and still wondering if I can hone in on one that stands out to me.  From sites that list the top social marketing sites, to the sites listed on those sites my possibilities were endless.  I sat at my desk this morning thinking ”common just pick one and write about it” and I continued from blog to blog finding more and more to read and reap from!  It’s all relevant, it’s all up to date and there is no end to the information people are putting out there, you can be the rockstar of whatever it is you are interested in because you can find people out there that are sharing everything there is to know about it.

So have I become a Social Media Rockstar from all of this?  Well not quite yet, but I do have a million questions swimming in my head.  The most recent in my mind is why blog? why blog when there are endless blogs out there that everyone is looking at, who is ever going to stumble across my feeble attempt at joining the pros? who is going to be interested in what I am saying.  Then one blog that I came across hit the nail write on the head, the FutureBuzz blogger Adam Singer said “Blogging is like going to the gym…for your brain”.  I couldn’t have chosen better words as this week felt like one big long workout for my brain!  Blogging is painstakingly hard to start and get used to, but as one perseveres it becomes a habit and an easy way to share your opinion with the world.

I believe this is true for all social media, it is an opening to tell the world whatever it is you want, those that want to hear it will, and the others, well they aren’t relevant anyways.  What am I taking away from these words from my fellow blogger?  Well it’s to keep at it, continue to share what I know with the world, and learn from what others are sharing.  Isn’t social media just making us one big happy family
