Navigating a New Social Network

Hi DID! It's exciting to be in this large community of dreamers/entrepreneurs. Today I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with the task of putting content on these pages, however. How do you all deal with it?

Between Facebook, Twitter, my personal blog, the forums I follow, the other blogs I follow... how do you find time in your day to keep all these balls rolling?

I know I'd love to spend more time here, telling you more about my handmade jewelry business, peggyli.com, but I've got to get some orders completed and shipped out today!

Comment by Alyice Edrich on August 20, 2011 at 1:02am: Nobody said you couldn't spin the same content on a few networks. :) That's literally what I started doing.

New content on my blog and website, then captions, teasers, and referrals to the original content on all the other places. And if I choose to post something quick and new off my blog or website, then I'll use the same content on a couple of the other networks because quite honestly, not everyone follows you at every single place you're set up on and the few that do, it's a minor repetition that they probably don't even notice since they follow others, too.

As for actually socializing and making friends/contacts, just devote an hour a day. Pick a couple of your favorite or more active spots to visit daily, then the less active or non-favs can be altered throughout the week.

Hope that helps...

So I have 3 that I check daily: Facebook, my blog, and my google reader. I only devote an hour in the morning + hour in the afternoon otherwise I wont get anything done :)! Every other one I'm a part of I try to check in either twice a week or once a week for a couple of hours. I hope this helps, if you find a better way keep me posted.

Best,

Stefanie
