Do I have time to develop an online profile?
• Give yourself a time limit to learn new App
technology….DISCARD those that do not suit you
• Big Three are Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn
• Set up ‘professional’ Facebook and Twitter Accounts
and set on to replicate posts on the other
• Consider starting a blog to help you get into the
‘habit’ of writing
• Crowd funding is good for raising profile and gaining
seed funds and kudos, but labour intensive
• Social Media can be used to further professional
networks, esp. at EMCR and PhD student levels
• Social Media is good for Advocacy
• Make sure you do ‘Real Life’ engagement too!
