June 19, 2011 Today’s Thoughts

Have you ever thought "I’m really good at this”? But realized that you may know very little of how to go about doing what you love? I have finally found my niche, a ‘brand ambassador’ so to speak. I have always been outspoken when it comes to my pleasure or displeasure of brands, brick and internet stores, customer service, and items purchased. I had been thinking, now how I can take my passion for deals and mega-finds to the internet and make money while doing it. Well, that would be to become a brand ambassador; someone who promote brand on social media sights.

Now you may be asking, if you just started this endeavor how do you have any sponsors? I do not at this time have sponsors. But, I have been picking local companies and promoting their brand and/or brands in hope of a some small compensation, such as a few short comments on my blog. It works out pretty good in their favor; I give them something first, I promote their brand and then ask very little in return; a few blog comments.

Like I said, I know very little about being a brand ambassador at the moment, but I absorb trends very quickly and can then apply those trends to my needs. The pro’s are I know my deficiencies and try to overcome them with tenacity and perseverance. How do I over come not having the knowledge or skill set to accomplish my goals, you may ask? I watch, read, peruse others whom I would like to emulate and take from them what I need and leave the rest; and thank them for their help.

I have always been told, do what you love and try to find a way to make money doing it. Well, I am going to do just that. I am going to take a leap of faith and dive right in. Now, I would not recommend this to everyone. But it is a good way for me to do things, get things accomplished, and it works for me.

I have been blogging for a little under two weeks now and have noticed many trends in social media. I hope to utilize my college education in Organizational Leadership and to pursue bigger dreams> I no longer want to settle, I no longer want to work for minimum wage, which is all I have been offer thus far. I am not going to settle foe mediocrity any longer. I have worked far too hard in the last 10 years acquiring a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree, to work for $7.75 an hour, don’t you think? Well, that is when I am even offered a job, which has been few and far between these days.

Tip: did you know that majority of people on this planet, who can read, read between a 6th and 9th grade level. So write where everyone can understand what you’re trying to say. If you’re not a PhD leave all the big words to the doctors and professors.
