I am trying something new, trying to make my life better through frame of mind. I have started each day this week with a positive upbeat message to myself and to my Facebook friends. The reaction has been mixed, one of my friends thought that perhaps I only had 6 months left to live. Not the case. If I only had 6 months left to live I would not at all be in a positive state of mind. I have too much left to do. The simple fact I have decided is that if you have a bad attitude you will have a bad day, likewise, if you have a positive attitude your life will be more charged and more intense in a good way.
I spent last night playing board games at R.O.E. Games and Hobbies in Schofield, WI. It's a new game store that has opened in the last week in the area. A couple of my friends from when I had a game store. The guys here are awesome. They are open to suggestions and ideas to make their store the store where gamers want to go. I know they have won me over. I foresee a lot of time spent here. If your a gamer and I know deep down you are, go check the new store out. R.O.E. Games and Hobbies; 1901 Schofield Ave, Schofield, WI 54476.
Getting my stuff out is harder than I thought. I blog, I Twitter and I use Google+ and Facebook. One would think that if you use all these with the amount of friends I have I could get my message out. Yet to my dismay I have 8 followers here on the blog. Eight. I have almost 450 friends on Facebook I have 6 followers on Twitter and I have a bunch of people on Google+ that follow my stuff. I ask how hard is it to click a button and follow my blog. To click another button and share with the friends that they have. I have given multiple ways to follow my blog, I have asked, begged and pleaded to no avail. So can someone tell me what i am doing wrong? Tell me how to get my message out there and get followers? I would appreciate the help.
Until Next Time...

You are just being surprised by how apathetic and fair-weather "friends" are.
ReplyDeleteClicking a "like" or a "follow" seems to be outside the effort-limits of many people.
Of course, to be fair, you have to give them something they "like" or want to "follow" -- so it could be your content doesn't appeal to them. I don't know.
But for online "friends" -- social network or forum -- don't expect them to bother with, say, reading your novel or following your blog or supporting your web comic or donating to your cause. They are people you chat with on a forum or instant messaging. Few of them are actually really your friend in any meaningful way.
When your offline, real life friends and family don't support you, however...
...
... that's a whole other issue.
Yeah, I know where you're coming from.
You are awesome... May have to check that store out some time ;)
ReplyDeleteJust saying that I always bought Pepsi for 30 years or longer over Coke. Why? Because my deceased uncle worked for the company for many years. However, recently I switched to Coke, they sold happiness with it. A simple slogan-Open happiness. Just like the reason I liked Biggby so much for a long time-B Happy. Now I just order Coke and purchase Coke instead of Pepsi because of the psychological aspects associated with the slogan. I drink Coke it makes me slightly happy. I guess I would start with your sense of humor-that worked for me and was the reason I liked to be around you. People like to laugh. I'm just saying if you sell Happy, or something funny you may get more followers. Inside us all we have a good dog, and a bad dog as I witnessed on TV show coming attraction- The bad dog is always hungry and is never satisfied and the good dog wags his tail and will follow you to end with a pat on the head and a morsel from your dinner. The question to ask yourself is who your audience is and then what do you feed them.
