Are You Using Social Media to Extend Your Reach?

The magic of the Internet and blogging . . . I just visited (virtually) a new friend in London. We met because of blogging and had a conversation offline (email). He also happens to be a passionate purple person. He pointed out that the color on my site is not purple, but more mauve. Sir William Perkin would be proud. Mauve: How One Man Invented a Color That Changed the World.

How's that for an introduction? Anyway, I totally agree. On my screen it's more lilac, and I know many purple lovers would not technically call it purple, but I choose to keep it because I like the shade. In fact, I like all the shades of purple. Watch for more about the community of purple lovers. Are there any others out there who share a purple passion?

Back to the main point! This is a win-win-win scenario.

As a result of this conversation, Jeremy has extended his reach to my community of readers because I'm going to talk about him and share a link to his blog because I like the topics he writes about. Maybe I'll get to hear him speak in the U.S. someday.

I was able to share my virtual business of designing presentations for speakers with Jeremy.

This stunning photo taken by Steve Wall is shared with readers with the appropriate credit line and links. I also left a comment for Steve and we have an opportunity for a conversation.

Hi Jeremy,

That's funny. I don't know if there are any cheap flights in and out of Iowa. But it's an excellent place to visit! We have quite a community of bloggers. You're welcome to visit anytime. It's only a few hours of drive time from Minneapolis.

Well, you are certainly having some fun with color lately. Hear, hear!

This picture is amazing...I am inspired for a whole day. What a unique perspective. I will definitely create a blog post fitting to go along with it. It's just that good.

Purple is the color of royalty right? I love the six words concept! What fun. Thanks as always for guiding me to someone and something unique. My big question is how do you manage your time to view new, blog new, build revenue, and everything else? I sit with the idea of a 20 minute window and 2 hours can be gone. There are so many creative and wonderful ideas and people. It's a smorgasbord out there!!!
