December 24, 2014

During this time of gift giving, I really like to be able to give you some sort of a gift. And not just something superfluous or useless. No, I want to give you something that you an use to educate yourself and grow your business even more!

So I have put together my list of favorites in social media from 2014!

These are my favorite bloggers, favorite social media accounts, and the people I trust to learn from every day of the year. This is not the same old list you will see repeated over and over again by the "big name" blog sites. This is my actual list of resources.

I love all these resources for a variety of reasons and I can't possibly list all those reasons here (or this post would be a bazillion words long). So instead, I'm merely listing the resource and providing the link to the account or website. I invite you to check out any you don't recognize and see if they are relevant to you too.

There are, of course, a lot more people I interact with on a regular basis. And I sincerely enjoy learning from them and reading their posts and content. However, these are my top, most favorite accounts. I hope you find some more valuable resources from this list to help you become more efficient and successful on social media.

Merry Christmas!!

  1. Hi Jenn,

    I love this idea! What an amazing surprise to find my Pinterest account included on this list! I’m honored. Thanks so much.

    Have a wonderful holiday Jenn!

    1. My pleasure, Julie! I always love your content and you’re one of my go-to’s for FB ads so you couldn’t be left off this list!

  2. What a great list of awesome folks, Jenn. Thank you for including me on your list of favorite tweeps – I am honored! I enjoy following you, too.

    Happy New Year!
    Jenn

  3. Thanks so much for including me in this list Jenn! I am pleasantly surprised and very honoured to be included among all these great individuals.

  4. I can’t even…to be listed as a social media favorite by YOU – a social media influencer/Instagram expert?! It is an honor to not only be recognized by you but to be shared by you as well…if you’re willing to share me in the medium/category that you love the most, I must be doing something right! Thank you so much, I appreciate it more than you know! 🙂

    1. Krista, you are so cute! It was my pleasure to include you and I love what you share on Instagram – keep it up girl 🙂

  5. Wow! Sorry I’m late to the party (just coming off my holiday digital detox). Thank you SO SO much for including me on your list, Jenn! It’s been such a pleasure getting to know you over the past year and I can’t wait to see what’s in store in 2015. 🙂

    1. Aww, no worries, Brooke! It wouldn’t be a complete list without you on it 🙂 I’m so looking forward to what 2015 brings us both – both professionally and personally!

    1. It was my pleasure to include you Mandy! I always enjoy your posts and hope others can enjoy them too 🙂 Wishing you an amazing 2015 as well!

  6. Great list Jenn! I find those are in the blog section very useful resources!

    (One thing, while commenting this i found it a little bit confusing because you put the text under the box, for example “name” is under the box for putting my name. So most people might be confused)

    BTW this is the great post, now we have to look forward to 2015! Hope many great things are going to happen! CHEERs!

  7. Jenn,

    What a great resource!

    Thank you for including me – I’m honored & thrilled to be mentioned with such a stellar group of pros!!

    ~Keri

    1. Thanks Keri! Glad you enjoyed the list. And it was my pleasure to include you – thank you for always sharing great content!

  8. Hey Jenn… I have just seen this article, and my name on it. Thank you so much!

    Apologies for not noticing it before, I had a baby on mid December, and when you publish it probably my mind was a bit numb due to sleep deprivation….

    Thank
