Quit your jobs, start out on your own, in an area that's not your college major?

| "Trail Boss" and "Content Curmudgeon," @RefreshCreate |
Why not? @RefreshCreate, Jenny and Bryan Grigsby have done that, running social media for 11-12 clients, mostly restaurants, like Hideaway. It's all been word of mouth references also...they haven't had to advertise.
They work from home, and their advice to #clarkclass was punctuated with humor and practical advice.
After they left, we debrief, which is apparently turning into a contest, as @Yolexiswade Alexis Wade tweeted a photo--"Clash of the Titans."
Judging by the smiles, we must be having fun, which means learning.
Debriefing again recorded by @MadisonSturgill.
- The art of this job is bouncing off of each other to create content
- Human interaction is very important
- Being a part of a team
- Must maintain thick skin when receiving criticism
- Improve is super important to have as a skill
- Where ever you go, meet people
- Identify the tone and voice of your clients
- It’s just one big tangled mess
- Posting is just barely the tip of the iceberg
- Humor and personality in the job
- If you’re not connected to the people, you aren’t connected to their business
- Don’t take everything on twitter so seriously
- There’s no such thing as a typical day
- You can go into your day thinking things will go one thing but they never do
- They don’t promote themselves
- They really enjoy their jobs – no matter the money
- Humor is great but don’t let it go too far
- You will run into obstacles that you don’t normally see
- They had to figure out how and what to respond to different posts
- Develop your social media page like a character
