I Thought Of Myself as an Amateur

…until today that is.

I’ve considered myself a professional writer before now, of course.  But I’ve had a fascination with social media for quite awhile and I’d considered myself an amateur until now.  But today, I signed up with HootSuite and realized that social media means more to me than I thought it did.  I’m not sure if I consider myself a pro at this point.  But definitely no longer and amateur.

I started handling a Twitter account and two Facebook pages for the school I work at.  January was the start of a lot of new things for our school and this was just one of them.  I was really excited to be part of this.  Now, a second Twitter account is being added into the mix and I’m working on getting several other team members at the school on board.  If all goes well, by next month I’ll have 6 more people in the school with Twitter accounts and they will be using them to recruit businesses to work with us and students to attend the school.  And yes, I’ll have them all set up on HootSuite so that they can take full advantage of all the services it has to offer.

As much as I love freelance writing, I am finding that I truly love social media, too.  I gobble it up like a kid with a bag of candy.  And I’m wondering if this will take my career in a new direction.  Freelance social media professional?  Sounds good to me!

I'm a social media junkie and professional freelance writer living in small town Manitoba, Canada. I drink a lot of coffee and love my computer (named Garcia after Penelope Garcia from Criminal Minds - the ultimate girl geek!), my kids, my husband, and my cats. In 10 years I hope to be that crazy lady travelling across Canada and the States with her three cats and her loving hubby. :) If you're interested in my professional services please visit my professional writer's site to find out more about my services or check out some testimonials from some of my clients.

Do you love the look of this blog? Want your blog to look this hot? Then I'll tell you my secret! First, the blog theme I use is Thesis. It is very customizable PLUS it is great for your on page SEO!

Thesis Theme for WordPress:  Options Galore and a Helpful Support Community

Second, I'm using a blog skin (strangely enough it is called Blog Skin) from Thesis Awesome.

The combination of these two great blogging tools makes it easy for me to change up the look of my blog. I have to warn you though - using Thesis may turn you into a Thesis snob! It did for me!
