I totally agree with Manon about the #ff and #ww. In fact I’ve become so tired of being spammed by consecutive longs lists that I un-liked a few repeat offenders. I do think if the tweeter adds a blurb saying why we should follow a particular user it would be much better (especially if there is only one user mentioned per post). Excellent post…now I know I’m not alone in my annoyance 🙂

I’ve felt overwhelmed by all that marketing entails lately – especially in terms of social networking – but posts like this help me realize it’s all doable.

I especially agree with your comment –
“Fear of saying the wrong thing or sounding stupid or making a mistake can keep us from genuinely interacting.”
That one reason – fear – kept me from posting anything really genuine in regards to writing on my blog until just recently. I spent a long time hiding my writing – and my real personality – from others and showed up as a lack of substance to the posts I put up. I’m slowing coming out my shell now though and am finding it’s actually quite fun to throw myself out there and see what people think of me and my work. 🙂

Thanks again for the great tips.

I’m very, very, very shy. I hide behind curtains, couches, basically anything that’ll hide my face and what I perceive as my God-awful personality. So here I am, coming out and saying hi. Your points are great, I think you’ve made a new fan in me. I’m definitely keeping up with your work.

I’m marketing for my novel that comes out in Sept, and I feel like all of my writing time is getting sucked into marketing. It’s so frustrating.

“when I was young I respected people who are clever. Now I respect people who are kind.”
Thanks for the wise asvice. Leeking forehead too your ex post.

No worries. I deleted the duplicate. You will catch up quickly. They key is focus, time-management and having a plan ;).

Thanks for posting this (and reposting it via Facebook, which is how I came sneaking into class late, tiptoeing toward one of the seats in the back of the lecture hall…).

I must’ve spent an hour thinking about this very subject last night. I feel like you read my mind. I’m still trying to figure out what my blog is, where I’m going with it, and how to manage the social-media mix. As an introvert, this whole “networking” thing can be overwhelming. But I actually do enjoy meeting people, face-to-face or online. Really. Once I manage to clear my throat.

Sorry if this comment posts multiple times. Having some computer woes right now and can’t tell if it’s gone through!

🙂
