Whilst doing the BAPP course I have started to look more at the ways I use networking to support my career and everyday choices. I have realised that I rely heavily on networking sites Facebook, and Twitter to spread the words about my classes. I really feel that Facebook is a great FREE way to promote a business and it helps to the word to spread. It also allows people who aren't my friends on Facebook to view my page and find out about the classes/events I have going on. I use this tool so naturally everyday that I never realised how much it helps towards my career.
This got me thinking about the networking I don't use as much and how i could utilise those tools. For example, email. When I take classes, I take peoples email addresses so I can let them know if a class was cancelled etc. But I have now started to, since being on this course, emailing all customers I have ever seen about upcoming events, classes and promotions, etc. I have had a good response from doing this and I feel that there is still so much more I could learn from networking and the many ways there are to do it.
