This might be the single most important episode I do on how to navigate the social media waters. There is a ton to digest. I know I enjoyed editing it hearing the information again. If some of you are note takers and DIY social media marketers you might want to grab a pen and pad.

Not only does Christine help people get over their fear of posting on social media outlets, she helps people who are not familiar with social media at all… those who have zero experience and want to know where to start.

Starting in journalism and finding her talents during the social media boom, Christine now helps small and micro-sized businesses gain proper exposure by helping them navigate their way through the social media web.

Topics this episode include:

~ Being in the world of traditional journalism when the social boom hits. Twitter becoming a breaking source for stories and how a network newsroom handled that specific point in history.

~ Why social media isn't scary. It's empowering.   

~ Kick ass advice on how to sculpt a tone that will accurately match your personality and gain a best audience for your message

~ How to deal with negative comments

~ How to promote yourself or your story without always having to be on camera

~ Her unintentional viral hit (awesome)

~ Should your face be the brand?

~ The evolution of live video on social. I've heard of that app… what does it do?
