Talks entrepreneurship and social media — Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian talks regarding her early entrepreneurial ventures and how she leverages social media.

Kim KardashianOversee.net CEO Debra Domeyer had a fireside chat with Kim Kardashian at Webfest today in Santa Monica.

Kardashian related her stories regarding early entrepreneurial ventures and how she’s leveraged social media to build her brand.

She told the audience of online entrepreneurs and domain investors regarding how she borrowed money from her dad to buy scarce shoes and resell them on eBay. Her dad made her sign a contract and pay interest if she was late — but she turned around and sold the shoes quickly at a profit.

She also joked that “Twitter is the best stalking device”. She related a story regarding one boyfriend who told her he was out of town, but then someone tweeted a picture of him at an L.A. gas station. (I guess that works well if all of your boyfriends are celebrities.)

Kardashian is ranked #10 on Twitter in terms of followers.

She stated Facebook is most effective for getting your message out, and Twitter is “extremely fun”. But she stated Instagram is her favorite social media platform right now.

“It’s such a piece of your personality,” she explained regarding Instagram. “You can choose to not even write anything, but post a photo.”

She stated she likes it since the photo can mean one thing to you and something different to someone else.

Kardashian did not relate any stories regarding domain names.
