In addition to making blog posts here, I’ve begun posting on my long-dormant Twitter account, AhZhillAy. What’s nice about Twitter is that it forces me to shut the hell up after just a few characters. “If you have nothing nice to say. . .” Well, I’d modify that to, “If you have nothing of value to impart, don’t tweet anything at all.”
I also use TweetDeck – which allows me to cheat. I take abt 15 minutes and pound out tweets for the rest of the week. Then, TweetDeck posts them for me, regardless of whether I’m even on-line or not. Granted I can do the same thing with WordPress, but since the form factor is so much longer, it would take me a whole workday to sit down and get a week’s worth of posts ready. And by the time the 3rd or 4th one was ready to go, I’d probably want to change it anyway.
I’m not a fan of taking time away from the other projects I’m writing to post blogs (or even microblogs), but I firmly believe in putting yourself someplace you’ll be tripped over by potential clients. The more often they say, “Every time I turn around I see your name,” the better chance you have of getting them to engage with you.
What are you doing to get tripped over?
