Last night I was working and decided to take a break and check my email. As I go through, I saw an email newsletter from a friend and fellow colleague and thought that I could read it real quick. As I am going through it I am thinking, “hmmm, I wonder how her social media icons look in here”, so I am scrolling and then I think “where are they?”, she must have forgotten to put them in. So I message her and as we are talking she says this to me “it never occurred to me to put them in there”. I felt like a ton of bricks hit me…then I got the building thrown on me “you didn’t tell me to put them in there”. I didn’t? Was I supposed to have? Should I have to? I then asked, they are in your email right?” I was deeply wounded to know that “no, I didn’t know to” was the answer. OUCH…how are you going to get found if you don’t tell others where to find you? 
Lesson learned for me and her! Social media is EVERYWHERE…where should you be posting your social media sites? EVERYWHERE!! Put them in your newsletters, your email signatures, business cards, your resource boxes or author’s boxes in your articles, OTHER social media sites you belong to. How do you expect to get found if you don’t tell everyone everywhere you go how to find you?
