Why should you start a blog and/or start using Twitter today? Because if you have something to say and want to be heard, you’ll be surprised how fast people will find you.
On February 12, I published this post about how to not be boring on Twitter or Facebook as a reaction to my brother’s complaint about social media websites. He said he doesn’t care when his friends are going to a movie unless he is meeting them at the theater. To him, the thought of also getting a text message with this information just doesn’t make a ton of sense.
On February 25, I received a direct message on Twitter from @jonasaurus letting me know he had entered the phrase “how not to be boring on twitter” into Google and found my post on the first page of the organic search results.
After checking things out to confirm that a post I wrote made it to the first page of Google THIRTEEN DAYS after I tossed it out into the void, I then proceeded to brag to my coworkers about my new rockstar status.
I had expected the blog to be something I did for myself as practice to become a better writer and for the fun of it. I hoped I might get the stray reader here or there, but had no real expectations. Little did I know.
Start blogging, tweeting, and interacting today. While you may never build up the over 283,000 followers that British actor, writer and Twitter grandmaster Stephen Fry has amassed, you will find like-minded people to interact with and learn from faster than you realize.
I really learned a lot. I appreciate the effort put into this site and will visit here more often. Thank You!
