Comments on: What Social Media Means to Me and My Writing http://www.mlvwrites.com/2009/01/social-media-means-writing.html Monica Valentinelli: Author, Game Designer and Consultant Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:06:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Becca http://www.mlvwrites.com/2009/01/social-media-means-writing.html/comment-page-1#comment-1125 Becca Fri, 16 Jan 2009 03:49:09 +0000 http://www.mlvwrites.com/?p=294#comment-1125 Great post. I completely agree about the importance of social media in being successful as a freelancer today. Not just sites like Twitter and Facebook, however, but also in developing good blogging skills in general. According to a recent article about hot job skills for 2008 that features freelance writing, and blogging in particular, it shows that demand for <a>wordpress blogging skills</a> has increased by 4 times from that of the previous year. I found this encouraging (and figured I'd share) because in this economy, it's good to be a part of something that is actually in demand. Looking forward to your next post. :-) Great post.

I think we all try and find the guru on social media that can tell us those "Best Practices" when in fact there may not be a best practices for you yet because you haven't developed them. Makes me feel a lot better about how I view social media and where I try an strategize that might not be where someone else does. It is the long tail effect all over only its dynamic in that as we change and hopefully get smarter so does our social media strategy and best practices that we have developed. Thanks Very educational post.
