who you<\/a> are or they will decide for you.<\/p>\n2. Use social media to grow your network: many of us don’t know how to effectively use social media platforms. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram can literally single-handedly help you rebrand yourself for free and grow your network! Research best practices in using these tools, ignorance is not bliss in this case. You can do serious damage to your profile if you do it wrong. Make sure you know what you are doing. Whenever you meet someone in real life, add them to your social profiles straight away.<\/p>\n

There is nothing more boring. Informers share news, educate people, have an opinion on world events. Much more interesting to follow. Decide who you are and which category you should be in the become a respected member of your industry.<\/p>\n
