Social Networking Around Part 2
It seems that I am caught up in the world of social networking right now. Sites like this at Today.com have a community type of atmosphere if you have teh time to take advantage of it and see who you will meet.
How should you best spend your time on social sites? Are they necessary? Lets see I will answer the last first. Yes I believe that the social sites are necessary for a few reasons, and that will take me to the first question.
Determine why you are on the social site. You are pubishing content and you want it to be seen. The social site will let you announce what you do to people who might be interested in seeing your content.
Suppose you write about quilt patterns. Do you think that someone who is into knitting, crocheting, and sewing might be interested in seeing your content? What about interior decorators, or home owners. Maybe they are interested to see what you are doing.
You would want to find other quilters, too. Where you visit leave comments and ask that they stop by and look at what you are doing, too. Over time you will form a friendship and that is always fun.
You can choose to stick with your niche to start, or visit something of interest. Where ever you visit, leave a comment. Bloggers thrive on comments. We love to get them. Remember to leave them, too! Be open, be honest, be friendly. Do not leave a comment selling though. That is considered spam and will most likely get rejected.
