Social Media - It’s a nice place to visit, but…
Posted by: admin in NJ Social Media, tags: Eva Abreu, learning about social media, making time for social mediaHave you ever gone on vacation to a new or different place and thought to yourself, “it’s a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there”?
That’s what goes through my mind when I travel, regardless of how luxurious or scenic the place is. There’s no place like home (at least for me).
Sure, I go back and visit certain vacation spots that I really like, but I always return back home again.
The same goes for Social Media (and this is just my own personal opinion); it’s a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there (all the time).
I know I’ll probably upset some folks who do spend their time online, all the time; and by no means do I intend any disrespect at all.
It’s just for me, I like to have a balance between my online social networking time and my offline, F2F time (face-to-face or phone-to-phone time).
For those just starting out in learning about social media and feel like they are missing out because they don’t have a lot of time to spend, I say: relax, take it one step at a time, one site at a time, and try it out, even if it’s just a few minutes at a time.
I recommend approaching social media as if it were a vacation:
- Take some time to plan and do a little research
- Ask around for some advice on where to go and what to do
- Keep your personal belongings safely stowed
- Realize that your suitcase might get opened and your dirty laundry exposed when you least expect it
- Upon arrival, look around, spend some time and learn the culture and language
- Engage in conversation with the locals
- Most important: Food. What did you have for lunch? We’d all like to know ; )
What are your thoughts about spending time on Social Media?
