RE: Blah Blah Blog: Please don't get burned out!
I love the word "consistency"
If I push too much in the beginning I'm certainly quitting after a couple of weeks, but if I restrain myself and try to do within my means I will probably stick with it.
Thank you @najada for your comment...
I've realized for quite a while that the most successful social media accounts post simple content on a daily (or for youtube, weekly) basis. It's been difficult to accept, because I always want to create my very best, and I just don't have that amount of time.
Balance is so hard to achieve :D
Yes, I think that's the key: to find our balance, the point where we are comfortable with that relationship between the quality and the time invested.
The problem with perfectionism is that it's a great excuse to not finish something. Better 7 and alive that 9 and dead :P
Soooo true... and maybe it was good for me to have somewhat of a strong start (more content)... but it's time to 'budget' my energy XD
Perfectionism, I've heard, is rooted in fear. And that makes sense... it's not beneficial to constantly obsess over details!
Yes, I was thinking about it. For example with a blog all the content you create gets embedded and continues to receive visits and even grows over time, but on social networks like this content is disposable, so it doesn't pay as much to invest in creating as for a blog?
And I've realized at the end only we the authors care that much about details, but readers focus more on what they get from it as a whole.
Also, are you familiar with #minnowsupportproject - to help new users get followers and connections - this might be a way to get more 'traffic' to your blog posts.
Thanks! I need to learn more about a lot of things around here ;)
Even 4 -5 new friends can make a difference, so I hope you'll check it out. You also have an interesting blog, so you already have an advantage in my opinion.
