Groups, blogs and industry emails

Over the past few months I have joined many industry (events, bicycle and otherwise) groups, begun following blogs and become part of email groups.  I’ve gotten a lot of great information out of what I’ve been able to follow.  Unfortunately, there is so much input, that I haven’t been able to keep up or follow much of what’s going on – let alone stay current.  For the past few years, I’ve used Google RSS or Feedly to follow the blogs that I’m interested in but my Social Media Marketing class has really opened the doors for so many other options out there that I’m finding myself overwhelmed.  How do I choose which feed to use, emails to read or group emails to follow?  I’m hoping that after class ends that I’ll be able to take a step back, choose one or two and move forward.  In the meantime, anyone out there have any thoughts?  Leave comments below.

When I Grow Up

 I used to think that I would be a stage manager, then a theater manager, then I played in the accounting world – quickly realized that I didn’t want to do that… then I played around in the executive assistant world…and swiftly realized that Event Planning was what I wanted to do.  It kinda sums up all of those previous worlds that I’ve played in. Just in a more grown up, “real world job” kinda way.

Through the Social Media class I’m taking, I am finding more focus and direction into honing what it is that I want to do when I grow up – Event Planning.  I have been busy creating various social media outlets as assignments – Professional Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, WordPress, LinkedIn – you name it, I’ve been working on it.  Granted these are all assignments that I’m required to create, and don’t get me wrong, the current content is very weak, but it is giving me purpose and direction.  This is a great feeling.  Scary, but great. I finally feel like I’m achieving a forward moving momentum instead of just maintaining status quo.

Keep an eye out for more updates.  Once they are presentable, I’ll post the Pro-links I’ve been working on. In the mean time, you need an event planner? Give me a call 😉
