With all the growing popularity of social media, it’s hardly a surprise to stop and think about all of the things it is used for. Sites like Facebook and Twitter aren’t just for making friends or keeping in touch anymore, they’re also used as a personal sales pitch. With the ability to constantly be in contact with one another and upload pictures instantly, social media has revolutionized the ability to make a sale.

Just because you aren’t a website designer, it doesn’t mean that you can’t build your own website. A basic website with 1-5 pages is pretty simple and easy to implement. Of course we here at The Social Robot can always build it for you on WordPress (contact us at contact [at] thesocialrobot.com to learn more), but if you are bent on doing it yourself with a free website builder, the following is a list of pages we recommend should always be on a website.

I wasn’t a complete stranger to Macs; I had used them before. I’d had two bosses who were obsessed with all-things Apple and wanted nothing to do with my PC-loving ways. If I was to work for them, I was to work on a Mac. And so I did. I learned the short keys, the hot corners, the finger pad tricks. But I still preferred my PC.

There are obvious sites that are helpful in a job search, LinkedIn, job opening banks, Yahoo’s job board, but what about the sites you already use?

First of all, this should go without saying, but, make sure you’re profiles are appropriate. This doesn’t mean you can’t crack jokes or even show your personality, but leave the pictures of keg stands or “When was the last time you had sex” questionnaires out. Unless you’re applying to be a tell-all blogger or reality star, your potential boss won’t be impressed.

If a blog isn’t updated regularly, should it still get a high position in search engine result pages (SERPs)? This is a quandary that every internet user has probably faced when searching for something specific. While some users undoubtedly don’t look at the dates of blog posts, others may find it irritating that a blog hasn’t been updated in the last few months to a year. There are qualifying points for each side of this argument:
