About Me
In addition to writing as Rachel Thompson, I’m also a social media and author marketing/branding consultant.*
Notice I don’t say expert, guru, or any of those goofy words #eek Here’s my deal: I started my blog, RachelintheOC back wow, now about four years ago in ’08. Mostly because like you, I had something to say. And after hanging all day with my precious Tasmanian devil child young son, I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings on topics other than diapers and formula. Fancy that. I embraced blogging and social media like a dog to a bone. Perhaps it’s my sales and marketing background (fifteen years of pharma sales — I’m now recovered, thanks) or my Communications/Journalism degrees, but I couldn’t wait to get all up in this (snap) new media stuff. Blogger, Facebook, Twitter — yea! Okay…I’m here everyone…! Now what? *crickets* Perhaps many of you feel the same. And that’s where I come in. I learned how to brand myself, pre-release activities required prior to book launch, all about Amazon, and what it takes to make both my books bestsellers! I currently write articles for many social media outlets such as Catalyst Partnership, Business2Community.com, 12Most.com, and am honored to have been chosen by Dino Dogan to be the Blog To Book webinar expert for Triberr. I can help you figure out the maze of social media, simplify it, make it work for you. My specialties include:
- Social Media (Twitter is my specialty; also Facebook, LinkedIn, and Visual Media: YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest)
- of course, Blogging Basics)
- Branding
- Marketing and Engagement strategy
- Amazon
- Author platform development
