Yeah, I’m a Consultant

Yesterday I was asked to participate in someone’s thesis on social networking. Two weeks ago I had a two hour phone conversation with a young blogger, helping her find her voice and her writing niche. A few weeks before that, I was helping a company set up their blog site.

I’m a consultant. People come to me for information on blogs and social media, and I have the answers at hand. When did that happen?? Well, I guess it all started on February 11, 2004 when I logged into Blogspot in a fit of pique, and my political blog was born. Since then I have kept at it, creating other blogs along the way – some lasted, some didn’t – and becoming a contributor to other sites. I have my own podcast and the usual accounts on Twitter, FaceBook and LinkedIn. I actually use them. So when people have questions, they come to me.

Sweet deal.
