I think a lot of times people get really concerned or worried when they don’t know something. Like how to setup a Facebook page, or how to use a certain application on their computer, or how to unplug a toilet (whatever). But the truth is, no one knows everything. Even people who practice in a particular field aren’t able to know everything, especially in fields with fast-paced innovation.
When it comes to social media and the Internet, how to use them for businesses is constantly evolving. For those of us in the industry, it means constantly keeping up to date with new developments, talking to others in the field, and doing a lot of reading and listening. I’m sure that’s the case in your field as well. There probably are industry tradeshows and conferences, an industry association, industry publications, professional networks, etc. Everyone has to spend at least some time constantly learning.
My point is, that since no one knows everything, it’s ok to ask for help or ask for advice. Even in your own field. I do it all the time. It’s how we learn. It’s how we share information. It’s how we try new things. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
