How To Use Social Media To Find Opportunities In Uncertain Times

We are truly living in extraordinary times.

It’s like we are all living out our own episode of the Twilight Zone.

So extraordinary in fact, that we are still reeling emotionally, and potentially suffering financially like never before.

If one is increasingly concerned about how to find new work and create better opportunities, I believe that effectively leveraging social media offers a pathway to find those opportunities.

Social Distancing Now Requires of All of Us Better Social Media Skills

In my eBook, Three Degrees of Separation, I explain how you are only 3 connection-layers away from finding your right opportunity. Here’s a small selection from my eBook:

"Many of us hope, pray, and dream for, even demand, better opportunities, not knowing that we are much closer to our biggest opportunity than we currently believe.

"Possibly inconceivable at this moment, you truly are one connection away from a tremendous and fulfilling opportunity. You are one, maybe two, conversations away from a massive and positive breakthrough in your life.

"But, is that too good to be true? Am I delusional or is my statement a hard-cold fact that has been staring us all in the face for years, which we could not see or would not accept?

"Fact is stranger than fiction, as the old saying goes; so it is with creating and finding massive opportunities for yourself. Massive opportunities do exist for you to seize. Because most others don’t believe this statement to be true, those opportunities go unseized, unleveraged, missed, or, most likely, seized by someone else who does see them."

Here Are Some Immediate Social Media Tips

Throughout my eBook I give very exact strategies and tactics that you deploy right away. Regardless of your formal education or experience (or lack of it) with social media, I show you how to rev up your social game and win. 

Here are some immediate take-away tips

• Stop telling yourself that you, “Don’t know how to do it.” To find new opportunities, you will need to learn and do new things. Adapt or fade away.
• Start using what you already have. If you are only on Facebook, then start there. Do not concern yourself with social platforms you’re unfamiliar with. Improve the game you already have some familiarity with.
• If you do not know how to create content, then curate it. “Content curation is the process of gathering information relevant to a particular topic or area of interest, usually with the intention of adding value.” - Wikipedia
• Find friends, family and fellow business contacts who are good at social media. Team up with them; you need to get collaborative and learn.
• Watch others and emulate- with your own style. Get creative.
• You do not need a fancy, expensive camera. Use your mobile phone to create live videos on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.
• Get my eBook and read it! Then apply it.
