Last week, I attended social media week in Los Angeles and was not able to write a proper blog post for today. It was an interesting experience. I did however notice one thing. Most men did not take me seriously until they asked AJ (my social media ninja) what he did? When AJ responded that he worked for me, and “does anything she needs” the men were a lot more interested in what I had to say. Men – wake up! Attention – Blogs are important and don’t discount this snarky, blonde girl for a minute. You will need me sooner than later. So, if you have not realized the importance of bloggers yet, whatever it is that you do is not reaching its full potential! I have always worked in male dominated industries and some of you are a little slow to recognize the importance of a woman. So, recognize. Best part of the conference was watching Marques Wyatt spin to a group of social media nerds. Now, he is in fact a smart man. A DJ that big knew playing to a social media crowd would get his name out there and he was right. I tweeted, FB and am now writing a blog about him. What better way to promote? Get it now guys?
The main reason for this post is not point out that sometimes men are slow because you guys know I love you – you are my biggest fans. But, I want to post this to say that I am so humbled in the fact that my hard work on this blog is paying off. I was “recognized” by a fan this weekend! Thanks Amanda for coming up to me at Bar Sinister in Hollywood and making my year. Love that you have good taste in blogs and music. To top that off, I was with one of my oldest friends from college when she came up and that was the cherry on the top to be with him during that surreal moment.
Now, hopefully the men I meet from now on will give me a little more respect. Just like Rodney Dangerfield would always say!
**Stay snarky my friends!**
They’ll learn the hard way – but on second thought… that’s probably why THEY were there… they don’t have a CLUE. HA! Keep studyin’ guys… we’ll be over here making money off our dumb blogs.
Lots and lots of money…..soon
Funny how far behind so many people are… but it’s probably a good thing. If they thought we were doing something worthwhile, they might try to do it and then the blogosphere would be FULL of people trying to blog….
Oh wait… HAHA
Good point! LOL!
Three words ……… I love you !!! Ok a few more …Melany you always put a “smile ” on my face . This was short and to the point !!! And next time I’m going with you to the next SMWLA and I will battle all-comes for your HONOR of BEST FEMALE in this WORLD. Peace
You rock! I don’t know if I would go that far….but THANKS!
So true. So true!!! Show them what a strong, intelligent woman can and does do Melany. Breaking the glass ceiling.
I am going to stomp through that glass!
Don’t let them get to you – you keep doing what you are doing and do it well!
You’ll have the last laugh
Thanks! Will do –
The fact that you bothered to go to an event shows that you actually care about what you are doing. Don’t worry about all the haters – just love the lovers!
Exactly! I go to many events and this won’t stop me. Thanks for the comments.
