Today is Social Media Day. Social media has been a game changer. So many people cannot see themselves without it. There are over 1 billion people on Instagram and 2 billion people on YouTube and Facebook. Social media has positively affected and here are my 5 reasons why I love social media.
Connection with people
Social media is all about being social. I love connecting with others. Social media provides me with ample ways of doing so.
Gaining knowledge.
I have learned so much from other accounts on social media. These lessons have helped me personally and professionally.
Current events
Yes, magazines and newspapers are still around but we live in a 24/7 news cycle. Social media allows me to be up to date for free or discounted fee. Before social media, I would have to literally subscribe to each magazine and newspaper.
Video Interaction
I love livestream and have been doing it since July 2015 with Periscope. I now have my daily Projectized project management show Mondays through Fridays at 5:30pm EST on Periscope. I am now also on Facebook Live, Instagram Live and YouTube Live.
I love the YouTube Live hangouts. In addition, I also love the Periscope, Facebook Live and Instagram Live interviews and collaborations. I have learned so much from them.
Share my knowledge and expertise
Social media has given me a chance to spread my influence and authority. I have been able to reach more people in the areas of social media, personal branding and project management.
