You know what? I’ve got some catching up to do. When life gets busy, it’s easy to lose focus and get behind. I’m a firm believer that goals help with that. Therefore, here are 3 of my personal goals to help me catch up & avoid getting behind again.
Comment on one NEW blog/news source per day.
There are literally millions of blogs out there on any array of subjects. I’m determined to find the popular, the odd, the useful, the obscure, the relevant, the offbeat, etc. There is so much to learn by what others are doing not only within social media as an industry in itself, but in how people using social media for personal reasons use social media in creative or unexpected ways. With technology constantly changing, I aim to be an everyday student of what’s going on within social media.
Respond to at least one NEW Twitter follower per day.
I keep saying I’ll make the time to really read tweets and determine which ones would be interesting to elaborate on or discuss. Unfortunately, there’s never enough time to catch up on all the Tweets I miss while doing other things throughout the day. Therefore, I’m going to suck it up, get over my choosiness, and just start talking to people. And not the same people. New people. Different people. Lots and lots of people.
Get personal on Facebook.
After a month of acting as the anonymous voice behind our Facebook account, I’m ready to introduce the ME in social MEdia. Sometimes, when I’m sitting here in front of my computer, I find myself thinking, “It would be nice if I worked with people more instead of solely with the computer.” Then, I remember – social media is all about people! It’s about connections, transparency, and starting conversations. I’ve been holding back in that area, but no more.
So those are my social media promises. What are yours?
(Sidenote: SOOOO Excited to hear all the news from SXSW starting Friday! Expect blog posts pertaining to that.)
