New culture isn't always a physical location

Having to adapt to a new culture isn't always about moving to a new country or location.  It just struck me that I am currently trying to adapt to a new culture - the world of social media and marketing!  I haven't moved to a new physical location, but boy, have I had to learn so much in such a short time!

I am not averse to the internet or learning new things.  I joined Facebook to see what the young people I was teaching were up to.  I only became active when I saw how my friend in her 50s used it to encourage people and provide up-to-date, inside news about critical issues around the world.  Then I began to do the same in my little circle of friends.

In the last few months, I've started this blog and began feeling my way around cyberspace.  I started a Facebook page for my business but deleted it because I didn't know how to improve it.  I'm going to start it again soon enough.

I am stalling on Twitter because I don't have something to tweet about daily!  It's hard enough finding stuff to blog about everyday!

But, the world of social media has been very kind to me.  I don't have to learn very much to try it out, and for free.  I'm slowly getting the hang of writing bits and pieces every so often.  I subscribe to a blog to help me get better at this.  Ideas come slowly, but they do flow.  Life is good.

Unless I try, I will always succeed.  So, I'm on a journey with social media and enjoying every bit.

Happy socialising!
