#56) Become a Social Media Warrior | Engagement, Personal Brand, and Your Career

Today we have an episode all about social media. Social media is becoming increasingly more important to stay relevant -- and to get the best opportunities for your career. The principles discussed in this podcast not only apply to LinkedIn, but also Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and anything else that means engaging with followers, friends, and connections.

The name of the game is going to be engagement and getting conversations flowing in the right way to help you in your professional life. And this is what we are going to discuss today. 

I brought on the legendary Sean Page -- a good friend of mine who I have admired for a long time in this space. Out of all the people I know, Sean is the most active and has used his social media presence to build a great brand and get some solid engagement. Sean is unique because he has been a top resume writer for Let’s Eat, Grandma for several years -- and is now in charge of hiring the talent for our company. He has used and will continue to use social media as a tool to get engaged with the right people in the professional world. 

Here's what we address:

Why should someone use social media in their professional lives? What’s the point? 

What’s the biggest mistake that people make on social media?

Let’s talk about engagement and getting the right people to engage with you. What are some Sean-endorsed teachings in the area of engagement?

Let’s talk about the principle of personal brand. People may be in many stages of getting their personal brand down. They may not know how to communicate themselves in the online world. How can people get their personal brand in social media form?
