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. pg. 4 www.AEFM.com.au
