I Should Be Young Enough - My 3 Week Update

Well, it is officially three weeks since my first post. I am up to 13 posts and 3 pages on my website and I think I am doing pretty well. Then I check my Webmaster Tools and see that I am still not ranked in Google (or Bing). So, following the training, I set up social media accounts on Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook (find them at the bottom right of my profile and connect). I thought to myself "I should be young enough to do social media".

I mean, I am only 38 and a relatively social person. So I set off on my social media journey (and kept posting to my site)...

Facebook - I Have Some Clue

I know Kyle said to make a profile, but I set up a page. This is part of my longer term plan so I went with it. I invited SOME friends and family, but only the ones that fit my niche. I didn't need mom (who doesn't drink beer) commenting on the page.

So I am up to 30 people following my site and one wasn't even from my friends list...win. I am posting there the status of my latest batch of beer and I will add a review to my website when I am done.

All-in-all, not too awful but only because I am already on Facebook.

Pinterest - New to Me

So I set up Pinterest and have pinned each post from my website. To me, Pinterest is an interesting social media in that I haven't socialized. I just pin things to my boards and...now I sound like I am old.

I am still figuring this one out, but I am up to 4 followers. I consider this one a win...kind of...but only because...

Twitter - What The...

I consider myself to be kind of funny (maybe it is just me) so I thought Twitter would be right up my alley...then I posted 15 tweets over 10 days...and heard crickets.

Wow, the best I have gotten so far (and I will attempt to leverage this) is my post when I started my batch of beer. I tagged the company that made the kit and I got a reply from the brewery that the kit is based on!!! Man was I excited.

Well, almost 2 weeks in and I have...wait for it...two followers, 0 re-tweets, and 7 likes. Shout out to Justin Lewis (@justinl23707054) who is clearly from the WA community. I would like to find him here if anyone is following him.

So Why Am I Writing?

Well, I could use some guidance on Twitter. I followed a couple of the trainings here at Wealthy Affiliate and it still hasn't helped.

So I thought I was young enough to use social media, but I realize now that I need some pointers...someday I will get this off the ground
