I've been fooling around - well, not exactly fooling around, but checking out some more social sites then just here the last few days. Yeah, I know there are so many these days I could be doing that for the next millenium, but I didn't go THAT far. I just looked at a few that are steadily sneaking along, and, by doing so, are taking a small but important slice of the cake from the big boys.
Two of the ones that really stood out are Tumblr and Pinterest. These two intrigue me. I can see plenty of ways to use them constructively to get any business known to more, all without paying a fortune. PPC and all those can eat away any money you have or have earned, so why not check out these two in particular? Both appear to be quite easy to use and navigate, and I would say are fun too and we can all use a bit of that in our lives.
A writing mentor of mine swears by Pinterest. She recommends changing your pins around once a week, so your information appears always new, and replacing at least two each week with new pins, thus keeping your board neat and tidy and up-to-date.
Of course, I, being one of those stickybeaks who must inspect every nut and bolt before I trust myself to it, haven't done much more than sign-up for both as yet, but I fully intend to. I like both, in the way they are set-up, and the way they work. Facebook does nothing for me, I'm afraid, although I have nothing against it, and I am rather ambiguous about Twitter. Good friends of mine swear by both of these, but when I don't use them very often, or may not go to my page for a week or so on end, it turns very hit and miss.
It's only a short post this week, but if you have ever wondered who I am, then here I am below. I don't know why, but I absolutely hate putting photos of me anywhere!
Keep writing. Practice is the best thing you can do for yourself. As Woody Allen says: Showing up is 80% of the work.
