I’m not nearly one of the “cool kids.” I’ll be the first to admit that. However I am starting to see some actual traffic to my site and people submitting my stuff to all those fun social networks that I love so much (to the point of dreaming about them, but I won’t bore you with that.)
Now don’t get me wrong this is awesome - I couldn’t be more happy/excited/giddy about it - and anyone who does it you are the coolest people I could ever imagine. That said, however, it has changed the entire dynamic of my blog - how I’ll write in the future and how I will promote my own work.
Why does this change? Before, I could time my submits, submit only where I wanted, or have time to ask someone bigger than myself to submit and bring in way more traffic than the post should. I could also write up pretty much anything, not submit it anywhere, and know no one saw it.
So thank you to everyone who is stopping by and thinking my work is good enough to submit to your favorite social media pages. I really appreciate it, you guys are great.
