Use Social Media To Create A Professional Learning Network
As a busy professional, you know how important it is to continuously grow your skills. It’s not every day, or even every year that we can go to a conference to grow our own professional learning network (PLN).
Social media is a great resource for leveraging your PLN. This way you can virtually meet people who will build your knowledge base, and you can benefit from the valuable content that they post.
So, are you ready to dig into some valuable PLN building strategies?
(1) Twitter Chats
The fluid nature of Twitter makes it so easy to have conversations with others. My long-time favorite was #Bufferchat, which used to happen at 2 times weekly to accommodate different time zones.
They covered topics that have to do with all things in digital marketing, but also with professional life in general. The questions were posted ahead of time so that you could follow the conversation more easily.
If you completely missed the chat, you could still read the recaps. Whichever Twitter chat you join, be sure to connect with people whose ideas you like. That way you can stay in contact later if you like.
