One week in and I have already learned so much about the topic of social media!  My 100 Day Challenge is playing with social media – specifically Facebook, You Tube and Pinterest.  I started my challenge by creating a plan to help me stay on track and to keep me out of overwhelm.  By choosing three types of social media I narrowed down the topic and then decided that for each area I wanted to learn at least 5 new things, create something to post and post a minimum of 3 times per week.  By creating this outline, I have been able to stay focused and not waste time surfing around these social media sites and getting sidetracked by all the interesting items that people post!  I always recommend that you take a few minutes and outline your 100 Day Challenge plan – that way you will be able to stay with it more easily. 

So, one week in on Facebook and I have already learned how to search for information on someone’s page, remove people from my newsfeed without removing them as friends (because while I still want them as friends, I don’t need to see what they are posting all the time – I just take a quick visit to their page when I want to catch up on their news), I’ve learned how to create documents and how to create a vanity URL!  The vanity url comes in handy when you want to put your Facebook contact information on your marketing material.  You can create a name that is easy to remember instead of trying to tell someone your Facebook address with a ton of numbers, letters and slash marks!  My new url for my Facebook business page is www.facebook.com/GetItDunnJoyfully – feel free to check it out and comment on my posts! 

I hope you have enjoyed your first week of the challenge.  Be sure to let me know how you are doing.  Leave your comments here and others can also benefit and be inspired by what you are doing! 

Joyfully,
