Since I have starting blogging, I have also starting to kept a closer eye on my facebook and twitter pages. I have found that with my analytics page on google, I can see where the bulk of my business has been coming from! It is kind of a trip some days for me. I always thought that most of the people reading my blog and viewing my site was coming from either referrals or facbook and twitter. What I have found though is that my number one place of referrals is coming from Linkedin. Who would have thought? I have an account on there but don’t update my status (ever actually until yesterday) and have not really focused on maintaining those contacts like I guess I need to be.
So, yesterday I sent out a ton of requests to people to be a connection with me, recommend my work, or let me join their groups on Linkedin. Just when I thought that I was in the big world all alone as a freelancer, I now feel like I have a whole group of supporters to rely on and get answers to problems when I get stuck.
What other forms of social media are out there that I haven’t even dipped my toe in yet? I have heard of yelp and flicr, but haven’t really done much with them. I guess I have learned my lesson and need to get on that quickly!
If we aren’t friends yet on these different forms of social media that I am connected to, invite me! I would love to connect with you!
