Get Social and Get Serious

"Getting Social Doesn't Work"

Actually, it does!

I love to talk and I love to network. That may be the biggest reason why I enjoy all of the social enhancements at the TEs these days. Honestly, at first I thought this social scene thing was just some gimmick that the TE owners came up with to sell their latest programs, but then I embraced the idea and found it to be right!

I like chatting and talking to folks so why not use this gift of gab to my advantage. As a big example, I've been friending people and talking to them on various TEs and I actually made a few contacts, two of which may be working with me on my next project!

Also as a result of coming out of my shell, I've received more hits to my blog, friends requests to my twitter and likes on my facebook page as well as my list. I followed the steps that I will outline below. If I noticed this increase just from adding my photo and using a few free services, just imagine what will happen once I put add some video into the mix.

Eboni Guide to Getting Social:
  • Friend interesting people and interact with them. No Stalking! Just interact with them! Respond on twitter or like their statuses on facebook.
  • Visit their blogs, read and respond. 
  • Don't be afraid to link to other's blog. Share the link love and they may return the favor someday!
There may be more, so I'll add them as I think of them.
