What to Do When Someone Pretends to Be You on Instagram

Do you know what to do when someone pretends to be you on Instagram? It can be very unsettling when someone pretends to be you on a social site you use. Sadly, this kind of activity is far too common. When something like this happens, the key is to act swiftly to both notify your connections on the account and to make a report through the standard processes of the social site. Then make a point to carefully monitor the account in case it happens again.   My Own Experience of Someone Impersonating My Instagram Account Just over a week ago, I had [...]

Value of Reducing the Time Spent on Social Media

During a recent trip with my husband, I definitely appreciated the value of reducing the time spent on social media. Instead of constantly interacting with Facebook and LinkedIn, I focused on enjoying the scenery around me. Plus, it was so refreshing to have so much uninterrupted time to reconnect with my husband.

Have you found ways to step away from social media, or at least reduce your time on it? If you haven’t, I [...]

Many Benefits of Participating in Facebook Groups

There are many benefits of participating in Facebook Groups. Over time, Facebook has changed the rules on how many people see the posts on Facebook business pages. Therefore, more business people are becoming more active in Facebook groups to reach a wider audience. Some groups are associated with an organization that meets in real life. (Or for now, that group may be meeting virtually.) Some business people may offer exclusive Facebook groups for their clients. Still other groups might be for people in a shared industry. In my case, I've been part of all these kinds of groups and see [...]

Seeing so many people losing their jobs and business owners struggling, I decided to give back by helping job [...]
