The social web is a game changer.
It’s not a fad but an evolving ecosystem of web technologies that allow any individual to publish, promote and engage with a global audience. The real power of this is that it has put the tools in your hands should you choose to use them. No longer do you have to pay the mass media gatekeepers to be published or to gain attention.
Passionate and creative individuals that understand how this works can go from zero to hero. One great example is Bethany Mota who started a fashion oriented YouTube channel for fun (also read passion) in 2009 when she was just 14! In 2014 her videos have over 209 million views and she is estimated to earn over $40,000 per month or nearly half a million dollars per year from YouTube.
Bethany is just one of many who have used the social web to make a difference to their lives and inspire and influence others.
