Social media can power business growth and career development thanks to the opportunities it provides to connect with like-minded people.
This is exactly what happened between us at SoAmpli and social selling expert and blogger Wendy Van Gilst.
We sat down with Wendy and she shared some amazing tips for anyone who wants to utilise social media to advance in their career:
Google yourself to see what profiles come up when people search for you.
Make sure you’re happy with what comes up. Do you have a professional picture on these profiles? Is your job information up to date?
Once you have all the basics in place, start building a network that has value to you.
Don't obsess over how many followers you have! What's really valuable is having a network full of relevant people.

Keep in mind that you can’t take from your network if you never give. The content you’re sharing needs to be relevant to your connections, and can't be only about yourself or your products and services!
