Adapt and quickly learn new methods! #amwriting #socialmedia

August 19, 2013 By Mimi Barbour Leave a Comment

 

 
In other words, don’t
get too comfortable with one way of doing things. Everything is always changing
– except my memory. That’s having a hell of a time just keeping up with what previously
took me so long to learn.

Take Facebook. (Tempted
as I am to be corny and say “please” I won’t.) Seriously, that page drives me
nutty. No sooner do I get it figured out that it’s all twisted again. I know
their changes make sense, maybe,
but it sure is difficult to keep up. In order to stay on top of the game you must.
Facebook friends are the ones who want to know what’s happening in your life because
you’ve made it a point to care about theirs. It’s an interactive platform and can
be one of your best promotional tools if you remember that you’re expected to
be an ordinary person there and not just an author.

I don’t know how many
of you belong to Triberr. I love Triberr. It’s a place where we all meet to
send traffic to each other’s blogs using our twitter capacity. For instance, I
have over 7,000 followers (yessss!!!) and so every time I go into Triberr and
share someone’s blog; it goes out to all my followers. Of course, the ideal is
that everyone else shares my blogs and their followers get exposed to my postings.
At this time, I’m on 10 different tribes and end up with… let’s say 250 Triberr
members. It’s true they don’t all share
all the time but if they do, I have
the potential to reach over a million viewers. It’s a brilliant concept. The only
drawback is site owner, Dino Dogan, is constantly updating Triberr to be the
best it can be. Which is good – right? Well sure. Except we are always under
repairs and having to learn new methods. Is it worth the energy? You bet your
sweet patootie it is! I have a lot more traffic to my blog because of the
exposure and have made a lot of new friends and contacts in the blogging world
I might have missed. (I also have a tribe myself called Blog with Mi! and there’s room for more members so if you’re interested, e-mail me at mimibarbour@hotmail.com)

I love the word adapt.
I always thought it meant to evolve. Then I looked it up and surprise! Adapting
means to adjust, change, modify, to bend. So I checked the word evolve and
decided I liked it much better because it means to grow, advance, develop. And
that’s the way I think of myself and my path over these last trying years
working to attain some success. It forces me to keep up with the new trends of today and not be mired in old
rules.

Hey – look at it this
way. It keeps the brain active and like everything else you take on – it’s only
hard until you know what you’re doing! Funny thing is, the more times I force
myself to learn new methods, the easier the learning gets and the less likely I
am to hesitate and procrastinate.

Bet you all know what I
mean??? J
