Social Media is great for meeting new people, staying in touch, and finding information...but meeting IRL (in real life) puts you in touch with other like-minded peeps. This was only my second time attending a meetup at Laptop Lounge in Walnut Creek. Each time I go to network, I leave with more ideas, tips, and tools The post CoWorking + Social Media at the Laptop Lounge appeared first on Sparq Marketing.

Social Media is great for meeting new people, staying in touch, and finding information…but meeting IRL (in real life) puts you in touch with other like-minded peeps. This was only my second time attending a meetup at  Laptop Lounge in Walnut Creek. Each time I go to network, I leave with more ideas, tips, and tools than I feel like I offered to others.

Rubbing shoulders with smart people makes you smarter, right? Iron sharpens iron.

Thank you all for coming and participating in the Social Media mastermind session! Great tips on ifttt.com, Brandify.com, Hootsuite.com, Triberr.com, and Heyo.com and more.

Looking forward to the NEW secret Facebook Group soon for members of Laptop Lounge.

Instagram just launched Reels, Facebook's answer to Tiktok! I tested it out for the first time and well, I need more practice for sure! Or I needed more coffee. Surely I needed help in general. But after searching for the "audio" selection which offers music clips for your Reels I gave up. My business account, @sparqmarketing, doesn't yet have "audio". So I went over to the next best thing, my personal account @alisonstripling. Why do I have two accounts? So I don't spam you with all my pics of all my kids. You're welcome. Take a look at my first Reel! Have you tried it yet?
