Social Networking: Ones shenanigans (Part 1)

     First thing, take everything I say with a grain of salt, but remember I'm probably a lot like you.

     As a college student, I, similar to many other college students, am part of the ideal user base for a vast majority of social networking websites.  Facebook, Myspace, Google+, these are all sites (which for all intents and purposes, can be found on "the internet", located through google chrome or for hipsters located through mozilla firefox) that in one quick wisp of technological magic, can organize entire organizations, committees, political groups, and possible neo-dictatorship unions in a foreign country somewhere.  From planning events to trying to keep in contact with co-workers and colleagues, social networking can solve most mass-communication to small group communication issues, though I advise face-to-face interaction for moral and "fight the man" reasons.  However, why can't these sites be used as a marketing tool?  As an entire new aspect of modern day business strategies and public relation methods, to push contemporary music and theater and sell a new product that might be revolutionary to the present-day client base for these consumer based products, all the way from "teeny-boppers" to "old farts."  But wait, you may be thinking, "don't people already do this?"  Yes, people already do this.  Which overall means there is a nice professional base of well produced advertisements that infest sites like facebook, but can be used as learning tools for ourselves.
     This blog will be an instructional guide in how to market oneself through social networking sites.  If you are a writer like me, an aspiring filmmaker like me, a voice actor also like me, or even a powerful politician such as Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin, you could take tips from this blog.  But beside what I am personally related to, in any walk of life that could possibly use some tips in marketing or in sense selling oneself, this blog could act as your own personal Burgess Meredith from Rocky, but I won't make you fight Hulk Hogan or punch hanging pig carcasses in a refrigerator.
   
On a separate note: Please feel free to read my other blogs, not all will pertain to this certain topic.
