Have you ever stopped to wonder if "social media" has stopped being "social?" As a creative, you thrive on community and collaboration, but more often than not, all you find in online creative groups are a lot of people talking about themselves...and not connecting at ALL. In this creative checkup episode, we're helping you end the constant search for online communities that actually benefit your career and provide real connections. These tips will keep you from endlessly joining social media apps and groups that don't have true collaboration or relationship as a goal or value, and instead direct you toward making strong and viable connections online - the kind that make your creative world richer and more enjoyable.
