Creative Entrepreneur

This term is new to me and I saw the term from this picture:

I've been following her for sometime now because she seemed to have embraced the web and created a lot of opportunities for herself. I think she is just one year off of college and she been making her rounds both online and offline (traditional media).

Here's just a list of her web touch points and the number of followers or fans she has:

1. Facebook 29,483 fans
2. Twitter 11,100+ followers
3. Tumbler 24,160 followers
4. Lookbook 8,462 fans

Based on these she has more presence on the internet compared to some local brands.
