Be a Pro at Social Media

1. Be on every social network. That’s what all your devices are for.
2. Whoever said, “Don’t mix business with pleasure,” never saw your adorable cat photos.
3. If you don’t credit a source, people will think you found that cool new article yourself.
4. Update your statuses during meetings—social media never sleeps and your boss should understand that.
5. React to tweets before reading the articles they link to—it saves time and gut instincts are usually right.
6. Send LinkedIn connections to people you’ve never met or worked with because 500+ connections is all that matters.
