Social media has allowed room to create and grow within ourselves and communicate with people all over the world... at absolutely no cost. With jobs being scarce for upcoming graduates and banks not loaning money to young entrepreneurs because they are "high risk," social media allows almost anyone to create an idea and expand on the creation of what could be something great, before taking out loans and putting them in debt up to their shoulders; you just need to put in the time. The best part? You get to test your theories and business plans by taking polls from your viewers and see the possible success rate your budding business or idea could really have, just by taking advantage of the helping hand social media really does give us! I, myself, am a singer/songwriter who began recording music just because it was what I liked to do. After just one short year of having a YouTube account and a MySpace music page, I had been listed as one of the "ones to look for" by MySpace.com and two weeks later, I was recording with producers who've won Grammys for producing music for Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston! A month after that I was signing a publishing deal with Universal Music Group. If it wasn't for social media, I know I wouldn't have gotten the recognition for my art in what has now become my career, owning my own recording studio in Clearwater, Florida, as well as a management company, Paige Marie Management.
Connections and relationships made through social media are indeed there for the taking, especially for young goal oriented individuals. Take advantage of the helping hand!
