I'm Living Proof That Twitter Is Not Dead: How Social Media Changed My Life.

It started out just as so many stories like this do, I lost my job and had no idea what to do with myself.

It was late in 2010 when the economy collapsed that I found myself jobless for the first time in my adult life.

I had no skills, had dropped out of college and the only skill I really had was actually a non-skill. What was this skill? A keen knowledge of hotels. Not just basic info I am an encyclopedia of hotel knowledge.

I literally had no idea what I was going to do but seven years ago Twitter was a popular social media platform and I didn't know how it was going to be important to me but somehow felt (100%) that it would be.

Long story short... I was right.

I built a six figure career on a platform that many have long considered dead. It's not dead. Not by a long shot and I'm going to show you why, where my tweets have taken me and how it all almost came crashing down.

My name is Kat Von B and I tweet for a living.
