My Top Ten Social Media Sites…

Since starting my blog, my love for social media has grown tenfold. To raise my blog's profile it's extremely important to network in order to create traffic to my blog. 

If you are planning on creating a blog or just want to join more social media sites here are my top ten sites to join…

1. Facebook - I have two Facebook pages my personal one and one for my blog, click here to check it out. My Facebook page for my blog is great for posting my new blog posts, Status updates and photos. I've only just created this page so I have very little 'likes' at the moment. Once I share my page with my friends and family, it will start to grow and hopefully they will share with their friends and so on.

2. Instagram - I love Instagram because I can post my pictures straight away which automatically posts them onto Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter, check it out here. The fillers are also an amazing tool as you can transform the picture's look and feel. On your photos or videos you can #tag your photos, in order for those, who don't follow you to see you photos. This in turn can also get them to follow you if they like your profile.

3. Twitter - This is where the #tag started. This is more about status updates and tagging. I also post my Instagram and Tumblr photos on here too, check it out here. Twitter is perfect for Micro-blogging and very easy to connect to people you don't know. 

4. Youtube - This is where I upload my videos check them out here. You can share them on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Google +. Not only can you share your videos, but also other peoples videos, for example, I regularly share my favorite music videos on to Facebook and Google +.

5. Google + - This is directly linked with blogger. I use this to share my blog, photos and videos, click here to check it out. It's also one of the best forms of sharing your blog and photos with new people through google + communities. I usually share my photos on travel communities which then gets people to add me into their circle. Then they can check out my blog from my profile.

6. Pinterest - This site is great for ideas, whether its travel quotes or travel ideas, check mine out here. You can also post your own photos which can be pinned by other people and then directs them to your blog site, when you click on the picture.

7. Tumblr - Tumblr is probably the least complicated to set up and very easy to use. I mainly use it to share my blog posts, videos and photos, Check it out here.

8. We Heart It - This site is great for sharing photos and finding photo ideas. You can also link your Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr to it, check out my photos here. 

9. Bloglovin' - It has all your favorite blogs on one site, which means its easier to get up to date with other blogs. I also comment on other blogs and leave my blog URL so that other bloggers can access my site, Check it out here.

10. Blogger - This is where it all stems from. All the above sights hopefully lead you to this sight. The more traffic I have the more potential followers I'll have. I have also added advertisements to my page in order to create a little revenue. Although at the moment I have only been blogging for 6 months so its still relativity new to generate much income. Here is my blog (if your not already on it!) and if you haven't already please follow me! 

Have you got any other Social Media sites you love?

Twenty seven weeks down...

This week has been all about, out with the old and in with the new...

Monday was my last day at helloworld. It was pretty sad to say goodbye to everyone. I can't get over how fast my 6 months there has gone. 

I had my leaving lunch at Big Stone in North Sydney. The restaurant has quickly become one of my go to places for lunch. I love that it's so different and the Japanese Tapas is delicious. The pumpkin soup is also amazing and I had to of course enjoy it with red wine sangria.

The guys at work kindly gave me flowers, which were beautiful and the girls gave me a bottle of champagne which was really sweet of them.

 After work the girls and I headed to the Firehouse for one last after work drinking session.

Tuesday was the start of my new job which was pretty nerve racking. My colleagues are all a lot older than me, but everyone seems really lovely. I think the job won't be very difficult to start off with but hopefully down the line it will get a lot more challenging. After work I was so tired I just went to bed! 

Wednesday after work I decided to go for a run. I seriously love the views while I run, it makes it so much more enjoyable.

On Thursday after work I headed to Salsa performance training. We were learning the women's styling. I found it hard to get straight away but I did manage to get it in the end! Check out some of the ladies styling for yourselves...

 

Friday at work I organised a BBQ for the staff, it was a really good chance to get to know everyone. 

After work I headed to Treehouse in North Sydney to meet up with some of the work lot from my previous job. It was such a cool bar and pretty packed. It was lovely to catch up with everyone.

Saturday my housemates and I headed to La Buvette for brunch which was delightful. I had a passion fruit smoothie with Eggs Benedict. I will definitely be going back again, not only was the food great but they also had some cute waiters!

Saturday eve we all had pre-drinks at ours and played some drinking games. We then headed out with the new roommate to her friends house party where we played even more drinking games. Safe to say I was very drunk at this point! oops! We then headed to Cargo Lounge to dance the rest of the night away!

Sunday I was feeling pretty hungover and didn't really do very much at all, however, I did get to Skype my best friend. It was great to catch up, although, it did leave me feeling a little home sick...

Hope you guys have had a good week too.

Keeping you posted.
