We’re probably more coincidental than anything but great minds think alike I guess.

Whether technologically, religiously, or via any topic you like….we seem throughout our history to take two steps forward and one step back on any issue of change. Social media is like that too, I guess. To some it still has to prove it worth…and that good for all of us, I think. Complacency never seems like a good think to me.

Thanks for visiting, come back soon.

There are many reasons I think social media work better for some business owners than others. Certainly its a willingness to embrace change and to try to understand what all these new tools can mean for a small business.

But the other intangible also is that some people’s personalities – their real life personalities – are more suited to Social Media. I’m sure some one can explain the psychology of it better than I but I just think some folks aren’t wired to adapt to new ideas like this. That’s not at all meant as a slam…indeed, if its how you’re wired…it just is what it is (they have other great qualities I’m sincerely sure).

But you and I, Trish, enjoy such a new opportunity and everything that it entails.

Please come back again!

I’m a member of “The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread” Tribe.

I don’t quite LIVE on these sites, but I’m on them quite often and have really harnessed their booking power (several gigs a week). Just Google my LAST name and I show up everywhere! Like Scott Fortney said in his Linked In post, there’s nothing like FREE SEO. Oh, and it’s FUN! It’s a win-win for me. I can understand why some people have given it up or just won’t try it in the first place, but I really enjoy them and do well through them. I’ve been way more successful at booking through these sites than auditioning for every $100 job that’s posted on the casting sites. I just choose to use my time differently, and have developed some nice rapport with clients as a result.

I’ve learned a TON from others on these sites too. About business, marketing more efficiently, etc. When there’s something I need to do and I don’t know how, I ask Twitter. I get an answer much more quickly than having to do the research myself.

So I guess i’m saying they’re really great tools if you know how to use them. I haven’t touched my Myspace account in quite some time but get at least one call a month from clients saying they found me there.

I’ll come down from my soapbox now.

Thanks again for the great post. I’m all fired up now! lol

Happy Voicing,
