#socialbloggers 4 – Social Media

February 24, 2014 / 31 Comments

Saturday was the 4th #socialbloggers chat! We spoke about social media networks and how they can work with blogs. Check out last weeks round up if you missed out! 

Unfortunatly, my co-host Noor was ill, so I hosted the chat on my own. It went okay but I did miss my buddy – hope you feel better soon, Noor! Go send her some well wishes! 

Okay, now onto the chat and some of my favourite replys:

Q1 : What’s your favourite social media site and why? #socialbloggers

A1 Used to be facebook but fast becoming twitter #socialbloggers

Mine has to be twitter, it’s fast, you can get so much info from it and network with a huge amount of people…#socialbloggers

A1: twitter, as it’s not full of long pointless statuses like fb. I like instagram but twitter is my true love in life #socialbloggers

@bloggerforums chats like these for sure! You meet so many bloggers who then become followers. #socialbloggers

#socialbloggers I find that engaging with other bloggers and asking questions will almost guarantee a response from them!

@bloggerforums These chats are invaluable for engagement/new followers…helps that they’re also pretty interesting 🙂 #socialbloggers
— Danielle (@Frontiere_Girl) February 22, 2014

@bloggerforums also, you need to comment and show love on others’ blogs also. It’s not a receive, receive community #socialbloggers
— Kendwy Valdez (@Mindofkiwi) February 22, 2014

Q4 : What tips do you have for using social media alongside your blog? #socialbloggers

@bloggerforums Make sure you’re social media links to your blog and vice-versa. I’ve come across many that don’t link #socialbloggers
— Lauren Rebecca (@LR_daydreamer) February 22, 2014

With social media alongside your blog, be chatty, approachable and don’t spam your link every 5 minutes #socialbloggers
— Amy (@LoveAmybecca) February 22, 2014

@bloggerforums You’ll get a further reach on FB if you share the link in the comments & just share text+a photo in the post #socialbloggers

What are you thoughts on this subject?

Join us next Saturday!

Magnatone Pulsar 7 day challenge.
In yesterdays post, I introduced the Magnitone Pulsar and told you about the 7 day challenge I am taking part in. I have some pictures of my skin for day one. I used it on Saturday night before I went to be for the first time and then again on Sunday morning before taking these photos. I only have moisturiser on my face and eye makeup.

The first photo is in my bathroom, unnatural light and the second one is in natural light. The reason I took one in unnatural light is I will be going to work before the sun wakes up for the next 4 days and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to take photos of my skin in natural light, unless I manage to leave at a decent time and take them in the afternoon! 

Apologise in advance for the photos of my face – but it’s all in the name of blogging. Ha.
 You can see my ‘before photos’ and more about the challenge and product in my previous post. I’ve not noticed much difference after the first two uses. I do have large pores on my nose and cheeks and they do seem a little cleaner. I’d love to reduce the appearance of my pores on my nose, cheeks and forehead. I’m going to keep going and hope it works!

Tell me the most exciting thing about your weekend.
