SELF PROMOTION
Having a fit and well proportioned body is certainly a good start. However, don't think taking a few sexy body shots
and uploading them on social media will take you far. Beautiful people are everywhere. It is your responsibility to be
different and to stand out. What makes you different? What do you believe in and what would you like to offer to
others? I believe that if you are spontaneous, innovative and clear on your messages while letting your personality
shine through, you are on the right path.
Take into consideration that if you are lucky people will see, listen and then reflect on what you say. Try finding the
balance between just being active on social media and only writing posts that you feel would change people's lives.
You may think you know all the techniques and tricks of the various social media channels. Self development
though, is still the best investment of all. Keep working hard, keep learning, stay hungry and be humble.
Social media platforms are powerful and free and it is up to you to make the most of them. Being yourself is the
easiest part and is also your best chance of succeeding.
Naturally you should always contact people you would like to connect with or work with. Introduce yourself to as
many people as possible. Take their cards and send a hand written thank you to follow up. Give product feedback,
offer to help others and always be prepared to tell them about your projects and how they can be beneficial for
them. Be nice and most importantly: SMILE.
