I see #socialsaturday quite often, and I assume it means spending time on Saturday networking. But since I don’t know for sure, I’ve decided I’ll post my social media stuff on Saturdays for awhile. Social media fascinates me, and I love writing about it, but it presents a bit of a problem. It isn’t popular enough to warrant weekday posts, but it’s helpful to a few people I know offline, and people often thank me for writing about it. So, Saturday posts.
I’ve spent nearly six months trying to figure out how to build a social media network centered on the three blogs I contribute to. Since I didn’t know much about how to do this in the beginning, it has mostly been a process of trial and error. I’ve played around with various publicize and link-sharing schemes on nine different networks since November. I’ve decided it’s time now to focus on the ones that have shown results, and leave the rest for later.
