Put yourself out there. And best where there is some heavy competition. It will make you sharpen your portfolio.

No excuse not to be here. And make sure your details are up to date. Chances are you can follow and discover some pretty interesting content and a few good places to work for. Plus, no baby photos (yet).

After a while into your career you might want to start writing about things you notice in your work. Or in others. Reviewing both improves your thinking.

Fine if tweeting isn’t your thing. But you can also take it easy and casually follow. Discover great stuff where it happens first. Or get to know someone you’d like to interview/meet/work with some day.

It’s getting harder and harder to reach people without investing not just time but also money. Be conscious of potentially spreading yourself too thin by running a page. And maybe it’s just too much of cafe latte and baby pics.

An artistic and creative community as well as a place to watch great videos. Landing a “staff pick” is an award in itself - this place knows what’s good. And no trolling or brainfarts..

If brand/design/creative strategy is your long term aim, this is where to find some treasures. Look smart at your next conference - after all, genius steals.

Some really have the gift of photographing the mundane in unusual ways. But it’s become much more ‘life streaming’ and tiring to watch (said babies and cafe lattes both rear their heads).

Maybe not the best way to build a following for your work, but good if you really want to keep track of all the stimulating visuals you come across (and if tumblr streams are too messy for you).
