He is a television and radio show host, podcaster, author, actor, life coach and organizer who tells us just how important social media is for anyone who is in the organizing space. Regardless of your personality, it is vital for you to start putting yourself out there and to use these channels to let people know who you are and to introduce and remind them about your product.
On this episode, we approach the topic of social media at a slightly different angle, and James shares some of the incredible opportunities he has had as a direct result of being consistent in his online presence. He shares tips to stand out among the many other names and he gets into the nitty-gritty of hashtagging so that absolutely anyone listening will have a firm grasp on what presenting yourself online should look like.
