Coastal VAs
After Facebook and Twitter, the third key Social Media platform we recommend is LinkedIn. We wrote this article about making the most of LinkedIn, but when we re-read it we thought “Oh no! This is sooooo boring.” We don’t think LinkedIn is boring at all, it is actually fantastic, but it is a very different type of Social Media - read more here...
