Social Distortion ( What I know about Social Media) Part 1


So you want to know what I know about Social Media !  Going to be abundantly clear on this one for me it was baptism by fire . Everything I learned was by trail and error error and error . Im not a tech person or a guru but I am good at social media. I won't tell you everything beacause I want you to seek and find . I will just shed some light on it all .



Tip 1 : Feed the Need

What ever area you want to go into . Play in the medium before you go public. Make mistakes learn from them . It will help you beacome profiecent. Ask yourself some questions before you get into it .

I have a blog want to connect with other bloggers and readers  ( Twitter , Facebook , Tumblr , Linkedin , YouTube  RSS Feed to bring them together )
I want to know what my favorite actor eats for lunch everyday. ( Twitter and Facebook )
I would like to use social media to promote my brand  ( Twitter , Facebook , Tumblr , Linkedin , Youtube ,  RSS Feed to bring them together )

Once you know why your there then you have just eliminated 6 months of being in the wrong place .


What is an RSS FEED ( aka life blood )
Really Simple Syndacation
 This Feed will feed all your sites to each other . When I post this very post today . It will go to all my social media accounts. I count on my feed to feed my feeds. If you neglect your feeds they will starve and your traffc will be less then. I always say if you arent feeding your blog , then it is just a journal no one will see it.


So Chew on that for a while and think about why your needs are in social media . I have so much to share I will break it down into bits. and pieces. So just for now think about your needs and how you will feed them .
