Chapter six talks about how to get connected with your community via the internet. It goes in-depth with how to make yourself well known which was by making a "consistent username across all networks"(pg 93). It also wants you to choose someone as a mentor to help. It also wants you to choose specifically who to follow and get in touch with people who have similar interests. In the end, it just wants you to engage with the community as much as possible. Make yourself known.
If I was to correlate this to my future career I would follow after my Orthodontist. He has made himself known by being on billboards and speaking on the radio. However, this only works in your local area but it still makes him known by the community. which I will eventually do because I want to be the best Orthodontist. I would most likely create my own webpage instead of using social media because it needs to be professional. I would also make sure that where ever it is that I am working I would pass out business cards to people just as another way to spread the name. Currently, I have been asked about social media and said that I will create one for business use and that is something that I would do if need be.
Is there any specific reason that you are hesitant to create a social media to help market your business in order to get your name out there. In my opinion that is what social media is great for. It allows businesses to clearly and easily convey themselves to potential customers while also allowing for direct interaction with them. Also chapter 6 was about helping one another and drawing inspiration from others ideas. How would that aspect of the chapter help you in your future career.
