connection

I’ve read a lot of great social media advice, and sometimes, all the things that I hear paralyze me. They paralyze me because there’s so much of it all. I get overwhelmed, and I don’t do anything.

Sometimes it prevents me from writing an article…because I’m worried about doing it just right.

Sometimes it prevents me from sending out a Tweet…because I don’t know all the rules.

Sometimes it prevents me from making a LinkedIn connection, from submitting a comment to someone’s website, or even from investing any brain cells in thinking about a new topic.

So I thought I’d wade through all the advice I’ve gotten over the years and distill it down to one thing.

Perfect Social Media Advice

Do one thing today.

Do ANYTHING today!

• Set up a blog.
• Write a new article.
• Leave a comment on someone else’s blog.
• Respond to a comment on your blog.
• Send a tweet.
• Connect with someone new.
• Reconnect with someone old.
• Tweak your profiles.
• Upload a new picture to Flickr.
• Say hi to an old friend on Facebook.
• Greet a new friend.
• Have coffee with someone you’ve never met in person before.
• Do ONE THING today.
• Then do ONE THING tomorrow.

Don’t worry about it too much.

It’ll be PERFECT…even if it’s not.

That’s my perfect social media advice.

What’s YOUR best advice?
