Pinterest and Reddit

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I'd been stuck for a few weeks, kind of floundering around on the web and in books to find out little detail things I wanted to know - obscure things that I know are 'advanced' and ahead of me. I had taken the course lesson about joining social media, and had bailed on making a "Pinterest" account after reactivating my (dead) FB account, and (dead) Twitter account.

You see, I never found much use for FB (got bored reading about what people had for lunch, and the utter lack of responses to 'intelligent' material I would post), and Twitter just never seemed like a thing I was interested in.

Fine - I was advised in the lessons to activate them, and I also made a G+ account - but I was still "meh" about using FB. Then I watched Jay's training on Generating Traffic - and right after that, I watched Kyle's training on Pinterest pinning.

Those trainings encouraged me - so yesterday I made a new baby Pinterest account, and also a Reddit account. I'm thinking those will be my main 'social' outlets. But, it is nice to be back in touch with my friends and family on FB. I'll post some things from time to time, but FB just isn't going to be effective for me, I'm afraid.

Anyway - this is just a status update....hang in there, people! Don't do what I did and get ahead of yourself - stay the course!
