Ever since we got back from the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration it seems as if we have been going through withdrawal symptoms.
Yes, I have so much information wealth to share but, like I joked on a private Facebook group, I might as well start a separate blog to share all that I learnt!
So to make things simple, I thought I’d break down the cream of the wealth into 2-3 posts and since this will be focused on enhancing your social media presence, I’ve titled this simply…
Social Media 101…Wisdom from the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration 2013
I will share points from each session that hit home with me and sincerely hope the “gems” will help sharpen your online presence in a great way!
Wise words from Rene Syler…
{Voice behind Good Enough Mother.}
- Find your passion. Do that thing you would do even if you aren’t being paid to do it!
- Hone that passion by figuring out what you are good at and learning to be true to your brand.
- Don’t compare! Comparing leads to despair!! Run your own race and live your own life!
- Protect your brand.
- Nobody will believe in you as much as you believe in yourself.
- Play nice. (!!)
- Big reward necessitates big risk!
- Your brand is a reflection of you. Make your brand look good. Sloppy does not sell!
- Surround yourself with the right people.
Wise words from Shannon Miller…
{7 time Olympic Gymnast Medalist and Voice behind Shannon Miller Lifestyle}
.
- Sometimes what seems to be a brick wall actually serves as a springboard to our success.
- Be prepared to walk into those unexpected opportunities. You never know when they will spring up.
- Find people who are passionate about the same things you are passionate about.
- Have a balance on your social media channels. Keep evaluating to see if you are maintaining that balance.
- Remember what you put out there, is put out there…and you can’t take it back!
- Discover the positive in times of adversity. Don’t give up. Make lemonade out of lemons!
- Everything you do matters.
Which Social Media Gem resounded with you the most?
I like this one {Nobody will believe in you as much as you believe in yourself} and of course the Play Nice part.
Good tips! Blogging is a job for me to make extra money for my family, but it didn’t start that way. I love writing and sharing things, so I think I really need to focus on remembering that when the money isn’t coming in.
It was an amazing conference, wasn’t it?! Love your roundup, I feel inspired all over again. One of my favorite quotes ever is the Shannon Miller springboard quote. What a great outlook!
I love Disney!! Totally wish I was a mom blogger so I could hear the awesomeness! Thanks for sharing!
Great advice!!! Looks like a conference that was worthwhile and you learned a lot!
I must have looked these over four times to pick a single one to tell you, but I can’t. Those are all such good points!
Even though I am in Orlando, I’ve never had the opportunity to attend this fascinating conference, but everything I hear about it is totally magical!
