A4a Follow Up– By choosing brands that are relevant to your cause and demographic. Random brand sponsorship that your followers can't benefit from just so you can make some money, doesn't help the trust factor. #WEGOHealthChat

RT @CrzyCreoleMommy: A4– Invest in yourself. Get some headshots, business cards, create a name for your brand, connect your social media pages and clear out anything that has nothing to do wit your brand. #WEGOHealthChat

@CrzyCreoleMommy A4: Create engaging content that helps patients understand their condition and how to cope with the everyday struggles. Good information goes a long way and often into the hearts of those struggling the most. #WEGOHealthChat Good content will lead to fiscal value in my opinion.
