Thoughts on...

Social Media

1. Don't make every other word in your blog a link. Be funny on your own.

2. Follow people who follow you on twitter ONLY if you find them interesting. If not, who fucking cares?

3. Use SM as a tool, not as a method. Facebook won't get you a job, but talking about more than solely what you're doing on Twitter will.

4. Devise lists from time to time in order to get ideas out of your head.

5. Don't listen when people complain about things like you can't control, like if you talk too much, are too knowing or are too curious.

6. Do something physically challenging once a day. Ever notice how the smartest and most successful people are physically fit?

7. Always thank people, even if you don't have to.

8. Be honest when you post in comments. Complimenting someone else's words and posting a link to your own blog sucks. You should be beaten for doing that.

9. Be transparent. No one is going to steal your best ideas if you actually DO something with them. If you don't, you deserve to have them stolen.

10. Don't think too hard. If you do, you'll miss a chance to act.
