New Social Media

Everyone knows about social media, right? What are the obvious ones that come to mind when someone asks if you are on social media? People will always say make sure you Like me on Facebook, Follow me on Twitter, find me on Pinterest, subscribe to my YouTube channel. 

Thanks to my awesome intern, Sara, I have started to utilize a few more that are really fun. First there is Snap Guide. Snapguide is like Instagram (oh I forgot, you can follow me there too! @emilyhudspeth) and Pinterest kind of fused together.  What that means, is that this is a great place to find tutorials of any kind. Its like a mecca of the best how to information on the web! You can find guides for "how to" do anything!

See my step by step guide for how I did this ombre manicure! It was my first and there are more to come, so if you want to keep up, you can follow me there.

There is also Viddy.  Who is using Viddy? It is basically like if Twitter and the video version of Instagram had a love child. You can make videos that are a max of 15 seconds to post to your profile. Download the app and do it all from your phone or you can look at the site from your computer too. People can follow you, comment, share and give it a thumbs up. You can also post your Viddy to Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. You can email or embed your Viddy into a blog post or website. I even added this video to the end of my Snap Guide. Cool, right!


Another great website for getting your name out and having people learn more about you is Jobstr. You can create a profile, like mine here,  You can go on and ask a question about any job you are interested in. If you have a cool job, you can make a profile and have people ask you questions. People love this! Why? I know my job is cool and I like talking about it and seeing that other people are interested in what I do. I am also really curious by nature so it is fun to go on and get to ask people with other cool jobs about what they do. Try it.  Who would you be most interested in? Would it be the yoga teacher, the toll collector, the winemaker, the veterinarian?

Do you know about a new social media that you want to share? What is your favorite social media? Do you use it for your own business or to learn about a new thing or what? Tell me! I'm fascinated.
