Networking (lecture notes)

If you can't be found online you might as well not exsist!!
It is very important to put your work out there! Make decisions about how and where to present yourself, where to be professional and where to talk about personal points of view.
Generic template for websites are meh.. Take ownership! Develop a personalised WordPress, Blogger, Twitter and etc.
Make it clear that "I am available form work" it's important to make it clear that i need to get paid and am a professional. Avoid working for free unless it's really really good exposure. Always make sure to put your contacts on the website(s). Make it clear who you want to work with or what kind of work you want to produce.
Make it sort and simple- brief, no waffle. Look at how other people do it. Cross posting, news feed, keep it regular and fresh
SHOW OFF!! You are better than you think. Accept criticism if it's constructive. Get feedback and testimonials from clients and people you work with. Present your professionalism, show off whips, sketches- engage the audience.
Consider who you talking to. Spend some time crafting your posts.
