A few months ago, a friend of mine sent me an invitation via email for Facebook. At that time, I said to myself- "yeah right, like I have the time for that..." My computer savvy is minimal, but getting better thanks to my son- who also helps me with my phone.. After speaking with my friend, she convinced me to try it. WOW!!!
In about 3 months, I have connected with old friends, schoolmates and family that I haven't had contact with for years. These people live all over the country, and one in Sweden. We have all had those thoughts- "what ever happened to so and so?" Now we have the potential to find out. I have connected with a high school friend that is a networking genius (thanks, Rex). He has opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of social networking.
Social Networking has helped my business grow by giving me invaluable contacts and the ability to personally reach out to customers without spending a fortune on advertising. If I need to purchase something, or find a service- I will go to my growing network of "friends" to find a solution and make my purchase. I have even found a bass guitar teacher for my son.
All in all, the most important "connection" I have made is finding my Dad. We had been out of touch for many years. Clicking the "add friend" button was the best (and hardest) thing I have ever done. Thanks Joann, for getting me started on this great journey.
