When Your Social Media is Taken Over.
Dear Abby,
I always used my social media as a bit of an emotional crutch... Rant when I need to. Be crazy or funny or serious, whatever, it has always been my outlet...
Things have changed. My Facebook is becoming more for networking with colleagues which I love, but, how much is too much for them to know?
My Tumblr is for networking. My Twitter is for Networking. Anybody have Reddit? Definitely a networking tool to the nth there! How do you use Snapchat for networking? LOL! I haven't a clue? Yet.. Instagram.. Ditto! and Pinterest.. Again. Ditto. All incredible networking tools... But, my Facebook. That is my personal space, man. What's going on? I have pages for all my websites there and do a LOT of posting to them..
But, I miss that emotional release of sorts I got when I was more personal on my FaceBook.
Does anyone else have this problem? Should I have a personal account for PERSONAL stuff? I really don't want any more accounts.. Ha Ha!
Kind Regards,
Social Media Diva Downer
Now with that said, I am really wondering how to get back myself socially.. Maybe, I will take up good old fashioned hand- writing in a journal again or calling friends on the phone. That could get really interesting now that I have a few in Australia, Singapore and England!! Can anyone suggest a good long distance plan!? Hmm, or maybe a Google Hangout is in order!!
Yet, I don't think this is the social media strategy I have been talking about.... LOL!
Have a great weekend , all you wonderful people. Thank you for putting up with me! ♥pJ

Your posts are so cool Paula, look forward to reading. It's a topsey turvey world we have walked into ha ha, full of fun and challenges at the same time. Are we coming or going not sure some days. Probably have more than a few accounts here and there all over. Try to keep personal separate from business, when you start including our new friends and associates from our online activity's the edges get a bit blurry.
Yes Alexander! blurry is the operating word here! So it is not just me seeing that!! I may just have to.. Thanks for those very wise words! :)
I really try to keep my main Facebook account for social intercourse as much as possible. I have seperate Facebook fand pages and business pages for promoting my other stuff. Every oncein a while, I'll share a post from my fan page with my friends to keep them updated, but primarily, I just use it for posting humorous pictures, videos and wishing them a happy birthday or sympathy when they lose a person or pet in their lives
I use my Twitter account more for business and since it's attached to Periscope , Snapchat and Blab, I use those for promoting my websites, etcetera.
The 1st time I tried to kick I didn't make it past the 2 weeks it takes for the deletion to be complete. Lol Seriously though for me time's just too precious to waste any on that and I kinda value my privacy too. I'm better served just focusing on WA without the distraction. Here's a funny compilation of some of the Stupidest FB posts ever. Pretty funny! http://runt-of-the-web.com/dumbest-facebook-posts
Since starting WA, I have slowly phased out of the like me and share this types of posts. Now I post about alternative health and stuff that will eventually become my niche, rebranding I guess. So far it hasn't hurt anyone's feelings. As we evolve sometimes we are going to leave some behind others will follow.
That is very good Tommy! I agree! Thank about some alternatives myself right now. Media wise.
I only have FB for business, who doesn't like it can leave, I hate the chitchat on FB about I have just had my coffee now I am reading the newspaper and I have bought this new cute dress for my daughter and that kind of stuff
Lol! You would indeed hate my FB then yes! But I admire that you are clear in your goals. That is very good.
It's easy for us to miss the old habits. Sounds to me like you've "grown out" of the old personal phase a bit. Do you REALLY want to get some of it back? ;)
Enjoy the networking!

You are so right right Mike! Pretty sure I don't!! Thanks for asking a very good question!! :) pJ
I joined Facebook about 8 or 9 years ago, just before I got back into the internet marketing "game." My daily routine including being logged in to, and usually active in FB most of the day, everyday. Since I've joined WA, I haven't been paying hardly any attention to FB; I still log in to it on a daily basis, but I don't pay near the kind of attention to it I use to. I love the social, even just to lurk, that goes on here. haha
