While I was at the New York Women in Communications Student Conference on Saturday, I started thinking about how I use social media. The first thing I realized was that I don’t use it enough, the second is that I’m not using for the right things. This inspiration came from the advice that Jennifer Preston, Social Media Editor at the New York Times, gave the students. She urged us all to ask ourselves, “Am I bringing value?” with every message that we send out in social media.
So I’ve decided to “up the ante”. The challenge is to tweet something of value at least once a day and write a blog post every week for the next month. Then the following month will be two tweets a day and a two blog posts a week, so on and so forth. There really isn’t a specific endpoint or measure of success but more of a practice in bringing value to my image online. I’m really looking forward to see if challenging myself actually works or will I end up falling off the wagon??

So it’s been quite some time since I wrote. Not since my first post to be exact, but that’s going to change today. I’ve learned alot in past couple of months, had wonderful and terrible experiences and been all over Manhattan. Something that hasn’t changed is my devotion to this project. While I know that the experiences that I continue to have are going to shape how and when this non profit get started, I’ve realized that its going to take a bit more than just knowing what I want to do. So I might not write every day but anticipate it more than every three months. Who knows maybe something will appear by the end of the week.

I would just like to thank everyone that decides to follow me on this adventure, through this blog I hope to test out alot of my theories in combining two big passions: Public Relations and Art History. I know that when you think of one the other doesn’t always follow, but I like to be an optimist. So here’s what you can expect from reading my ramblings,
1) A complete documentation of the creation of a non-profit organization
2) Lots of crazy ideas (with me only 1 of 10 ideas is ever usable)
3) The opportunity to be a part of completely unique experience
As time goes on and my ideas get more developed, I urge you to send me feedback and your ideas as well. Hopefully, one day these thoughts will come to life and you all, my dear readers would have seen it all grown up. But for now, I’m just going to get the basics down.
Hasta la Pasta,
Amarilis
