Social Media Savvy Unlocking Opportunities for Women Over 40 ft. Mel Kettle
WHY HAVING A SOCIAL MEDIA BRAND IS IMPORTANT
Maybe you have a Facebook page just to keep in touch with family and friends? Perhaps you’re only on Instagram to keep tabs on your kids? Or maybe you set up a LinkedIn profile a while ago but haven’t looked at it since? Love it or loathe it, if you’re looking for professional opportunities or keen to advance your career you need to invest some time in your social media brand.
Mel Kettle jumped on Twitter for fun about eight years ago. At the time, she couldn’t really see the business potential in it – but within three months she was invited to speak at a conference on the importance of social media for business.
In this podcast, Mel speaks to Elise Stevens about why women over 40 should definitely be on social media. She explains how to overcome our fear of looking stupid and offers some simple tips to attract the right people and opportunities.
