Enhances rather than replaces traditional means of marketing
Works well for different personality types

Facebook If you are not comfortable blurring the lines between personal
and professional on Facebook, make sure to create lists
Promote your work through professional FB groups ALA NCLA Other (ex. ALA Think Tank)
Make yourself known by asking and answering questions in these groups, just as you would through a traditional listserv
Remember that this is not a private space

Common excuses for NOT using social media “I’m too busy”
Treat professional social media engagement as part of your job.
“I don’t have anything to say”
Start out with retweeting. It is a low-pressure, easy way to start building your personal brand. If you are engaged in your work and the profession, you should have something to say, and eventually, you will feel comfortable sharing it with others.
“I do not have the authority”
Tweet about what you know.

For beginners
Get over any fears you have about posting original tweets by easing yourself into it…
1. Follow people/organizations that interest you
2. Retweet
3. FYI tweets: Tweet when you attend a webinar, workshop, conference. Use assigned hashtags.
4. Thank people who presented webinar, workshop, etc. using their Twitter username(s)

Personal brandKeep in mind that marketing yourself through
Twitter really requires a public Twitter account
Be aware that what you say on Twitter reflects on you and your affiliations
You must decide where to draw the line between personal and professional
