This article was in the Toronto Metro yesterday & written by Rea McNamara. If you click on it you can read it easier (Mum/Dad/friends). I’ve worked really hard the last couple years on this whole social media thing. SO MANY late nights at home alone with my computer, fiddling around with blog posts, learning HTML, installing/fixing wordpress plugins, editing photos and more. I’ve got over 21,000 tweets for christs sake, that’s a big time investment right there.
Building a brand online takes work, it takes work every single day whether you are building it for personal or business use. You just gotta stick at it. One of the best things I learned from my Mum is “just because you don’t have money, doesn’t mean you can’t compete, it just means you have to be more creative“. Creativity & determination don’t cost anything, yet they have gotten me further than anything else. All the social media sites I use are FREE. I use them often and yes, it takes up lots of my time but THAT has been my investment. It’s also how I got one of the coolest jobs ever.
Thank you for the feedback & positive comments. I love hearing from you. Got some great messages from people lately that inspire me to stick at it when sometimes I don’t feel like internetting.
April 27th is my blog’s birthday and I think it deserves a party.
I hear you on that! Congrats on the article!
Congratulations Casie!!! So cool!
XOXO
Casie so proud of you. You have worked hard but you have also always believed in yourself. Congratulation!!!
Love mum xoxo
Congratulations on the great article Casie. You're an inspiration to me for sure 🙂 xo
I am just getting going building my brand and figuring out where I want it to go and what I want it to convey. It is hard and yes takes tons of creativity and time. I feel like my blog is like a child. You have to really take extra care, especially in the beginning. I haven't blogged much lately as I am getting stuck in messages I want to convey. Am I a SexEd blog or am I an art blog or am I entertainment blog. AHHHH… I am StealingKitty and just need to begin. You are a real inspiration Casie!
That's awesome, good job.
Congrats on the article Casie! Always a pleasure to read your posts and tweets 🙂
