Yes, She Thrifts

 The Last One This is kind of sad, having to wrap this up. I have so enjoyed the creation and completion of this blog. I want to thank all of you for reading, interacting, and supporting my content! My following is so important to me and I am thankful for each and every one of you. I have learned so many things along the way. The biggest bit of information I picked up was how to construct an efficient personal branding strategy.

 Podcasts   Did I hear that right? Is Kate doing a podcast?  The answer is YES, she is! Podcasts are becoming increasingly popular, whether you listen online or through an app on your phone/laptop. The beauty of podcasting is users only need to lend their ears, not their eyes. This makes it great for listening on a run, in the car, or during some working hours.  Yes, She Thrifts is making a podcast as well. I hope that you all find it as interesting and entertaining as I do! I will talk about thrifting, shopping tops, and my overall personal brand. This is going to an exciting new adventure. Feel free to listen to the sample podcast I will include in this blog post, and stay tuned next week when the full episode releases.  Until next time, ❤ Kate PODCAST - CLICK HERE!

Because of this slight culture change, it is important to be well adversed in the area of professional social media (especially if you're thinking of branding yourself this way!) There are multiple professional social media sites. The most common and easily accessed one is LinkedIn. I am sure most of us have at least heard of this site. It is a place where professionals and amateurs alike can create an online profile in order to market themselves or a company. Profiles are easily searched and accessed from anyone on the site; this increases the chances of exposure and prospective connections. LinkedIn has experienced much success because users are able to brand themselves from the comfort of their own screen. Who  wouldn't want to search for jobs on a professional site while simultaneously being in
