Social Networking Opens Up Unexpected Opportunities

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Obviously, when I started the Child Abuse Survivor Network, I expected people to join and connect with each other. I never once imagined that those connections would lead to an opportunity for one of the members to sell a piece of artwork.

I know I’ve already be graced with great opportunities to do some different things, and learn from some different folks because of my involvement online. I’m sure you all have stories like this one as well.

Let’s hear ’em!
