How Social Media Made Me Suicidal

Exclusive Multiplicity: Highlighting the Adventures of a Serial Entrepreneur

“How Social Media Made Me Suicidal”

Only you know what prompted you to click the link to this blog post or play the audio file of this podcast, but if what I know about viral marketing proves to be correct, then it's likely because it prodded one of your six basic emotions of happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, or surprise. You can listen to the podcast in its entirety for an explanation of the title, but if you're interested in the bottom line, here it is: I NEED HELP!

In the podcast, I get into the specifics of my request because I hate when people use link-baity headlines to lure you into something completely different than what you expected. If you found this title compelling enough to click, you might find the story herein compelling as well. But if you don't have the time to listen to it, then here are the main points: I need help to help myself, and I have the following skills that can be put to use TODAY to earn money:

1. I can build websites, and I do this in my primary business through a product I call "Starter Websites". They're nice, functional, template-based websites that are value priced and easy-to-manage. They're a great way to get someone on the web that isn’t already, or to put someone into a website in a fairly quick amount of time. If you know someone that needs one, send them here to start the process: http://bit.ly/sss4-sws1
2. I can manage social media accounts. Ideally, I’m looking for someone that wants to put email marketing and blogging as a core of their Social Media Marketing Strategy and then uses the other social networks to augment their core strategy.
3. I know how to use social media and social networks. This differs from social media management, because this relates to the overall strategy needed to make a social marketing initiative successful. It's about how to sculpt the right message, for the right audience, on the right medium. I’d love to do this for a university or college department, because they already have a built-in audience and all the components that could lead to social media success. Plus, I have a lot of experience working in the academic environment, so I can easily work with these organizations. If you know of one of these departments or campuses that could use this help IMMEDIATELY: CONNECT US (I'm also on Twitter: @KindraCotton)!

I want to note that I came up with the idea for this post and podcast before L’Wren Scott’s suicide hit the news this week. There’s no way I could have planned the perfect storm of events of my life unraveling with such expert timing to coincide with this women’s death and the media circus surrounding it.
If you've read this far, I thank you, and if you want the full story behind the title of this post, feel free to listen to the podcast. It’s difficult to say “I need help”, but desperate times, call for desperate measures, so Be Blessed People on Social Media!
