The first post

So I finally decided to start a blog.

After so many years of reading other blogs and thinking to myself that I’m not really that into writing or that I didn’t have that much to write about, I have finally received a boost of confidence by some of my clients and a few friends who told me that I should totally start one, because apparently I know what I’m talking about.

It took me some time to decide exactly what to write about, since there’s an infinity of blogs about social media, by people so much higher up the food chain than me, who have much more experience and know-how.

Thus I’ve decided to write about my process, my clients and my Ideas, since I love sharing them with people.
I love helping people out with stuff I know about and they have difficulties with, which is understandable; everyone is an expert in his own field.
Hoping that sharing my thought process, my out-of-the-box ideas and what I do with clients, will not only help me reach more people, but will help someone out with their own businesses and difficulties around the big bad wolf that is social media.

Short but sweet

I decided to keep this first post a little shorter, since It’s mostly an introduction to myself and what I do and why I started this blog in the first place.

Therefore I’m gonna end it right here with a few links to where else you can find stuff I talk about.

One of my favorite channels to vent on is Quora, which is this awesome question-answer network where you can ask whatever question pops to mind and some serious people will give you an answer. This particular network is populated by some really good people, including some big-wig CEO’s, designers and thought leaders.
So subscribe to my own Quora profile, where you can see some of my answers, to get informed on when I answer another mind-boggling enigma.

I am very active on Facebook and Twitter as well!
Usually, I tend to post interesting links and articles I find around the web, on Twitter, so If you just want to be updated on some cool stuff, connect with me there.
On Facebook I usually post some more private stuff and share funny images, videos and links I find thumbling around, so feel free to follow me there if you wish.

Last and definitely not least, LinkedIn is where I put my serious-face on, and post only professional stuff or share thoughts and answer questions on LinkedIn Groups.

Honorable mentions:

I play around on Pinterest because I find it really awesome (super article to come about that, stay tuned!) and my Chocolate Pinboard is just the deadliest thing online.

I admit that at the time of writing this first post, my Google+ is not where I shine, mostly because I use it to share stuff strictly with my family and don’t really feel the urging need to be all against the stream and be there just because it’s Google. Things might change though, you never know.

If you’re hungry, check out my Instagram feed, where I mostly post photos of my culinary creations, but sometimes a nature inspired photo might make a cameo.

That’s it!

I hope you’re gonna like what’s yet to come and that you’re gonna get something useful out of all my yammering here on my shiny new blog.
