For some reason unbeknownst (if that’s a word!) to me, the lyrics from Michael Jackson’s Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’came unbidden into my head this morning.<\/p>\n
So… I thought I’d use them as the subject line on today’s email.<\/p>\n
It happens to tie in nicely with what I was thinking about social media.<\/p>\n
If you’ve been reading my newsletter for any length of time, you’ll know that social media is not my primary focus. I do bits and pieces on it, I know how to grow followings on most of them, but…<\/p>\n
…I’ve never been able to decide which to focus on for my own personal blog (i.e. the one you’re reading).<\/p>\n
And that all comes down to time and effort.<\/p>\n
Running a social media account properly takes a serious amount of time and thought.<\/p>\n
Which, if I’m honest, I just don’t have at the moment.<\/p>\n
You may have noticed (or not if you never go on Facebook) that my FB page has been lacking in updates recently.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Because it requires a lot more time and thought than other channels.<\/p>\n
For the last 18 months or so I’ve been concentrating on Twitter, and recently I started putting a bit more time into Instagram.<\/p>\n
But the truth is…\u00a0I simply can’t decide which I want to use the most.<\/em><\/p>\n What I should do, and what I would advise others to do, is to choose one and delete the rest, so there’s simply one focus.<\/p>\n For me, that’s almost certainly (yes, I know that doesn’t make sense) going to be Twitter or Instagram.<\/p>\n Truth be told, I’d probably prefer to go with Instagram, but since I have over 12000 Twitter followers, and it’s taken me 18 months to get them, it would be silly to close that account.<\/p>\n So… you are not alone… I also struggle to decide on the best social media channel to use.<\/p>\n Ah well, it’s Christmas soon so it’s not worth worrying about.<\/p>\n Over and out,<\/p>\n Michael<\/p>\n P.S. Which social media channel do you focus on?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For some reason unbeknownst (if that’s a word!) to me, the lyrics from Michael Jackson’s Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’came unbidden into my head this morning.\nSo… I thought I’d use them as the subject line on today’s email.\nIt happens to tie in nicely with what I was thinking about social media. …<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,182],"tags":[191,190,192],"location":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3316"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3316"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelwilding.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=3316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
