Somebody else said it so well, I don't feel compelled to rewrite it:
How to Get Recognized in Social Media by Brett Borders (a Social Media Rock Star post)
What I most love about this list is:
- It's actually a great breakdown of key social media skillsets. As in, not the technical "I know how to run Facebook or Twitter", but the more strategic skillsets that apply across all of social media
- If you take out the specifically social media references, it is a list of how to become known as a consultant in any industry with pretty much any collection of expertise.
Public relations geek, consultant, writer, speaker, social media explorer, surfer (the ocean kind), paraglider... maybe even some kind of artist.
