I don't know how many others are like me, but I find social networking a little confusing as well as time consuming. I know that investing reaps many rewards, but I'm frustrated that I don't have the free time I need to make it work.
The few attempts I make to join hops and link-ups do pay off. Many of the hops and link-ups will feature popular posts or a specific blog. The features are helpful with building traffic and exposure.
I have found many terrific food blogs that have optimized their exposure by offering different forms of networking. For those who use Twitter and tweet often, or spend a lot of time on Facebook I found "Feed Me! Tweet Me! Follow Me Home Friday! is a great way to gain new followers. The link opens on Fridays and stays open for 6 days so you have plenty of time to stop by and link up.
My shameless plug -- please follow me on Networked Blogs, Twitter, and Facebook by just clicking on the links in the sidebar. Simple, no link-ups, just click through!!!!
I will keep trying, though it will be a slow journey to get into the social networking scene.
Ciao!

After blogging for almost 2 years I am finally ready to really learn how to use social networking to my advantage. But you are so right about it being time consuming and confusing. If we want to grow we must learn!
ReplyDeleteSocial network confuses me too so you are not alone. It's hard to keep up with it all. I find if I just set a time limit every day and stick to it that it really helps. Otherwise I'd be online all day long. lol
