social media for marketing

[steev]

I will admit that this is about as "social media" as I go; I just don't like the whole idea; I have a dumb flip-phone that I leave in the truck; somebody wants to "reach out and touch me", fuck 'em; if anything is that urgent, they should call 911, not me; otherwise, they can leave a message; I'll get to it.

I loved the days when I had a land-line and answering machine, so I could hear whether I wanted to pick up. I had people would call at 11PM because they had a bug up their ass, or 6AM on Saturday morning (why I got an answering machine).

So about my experience with social media and marketing: Social media works when you do it, I mean when you get around... have time. But it is SOO boring, really, it bores me out. Most of the comments are repetitions of something which you can find after googling 5 seconds. I don't know what to do about it. I just can't get myself to post. I hate facebook, the whole page is cumbersome and slow and disorganized Facebook does not have the functions I want. But of course social media is free and it works. Unfortunately, without social media you will make most of your sales on ebay and they charge. I thought I will post a lot in winter, but now it is winter and what I do is the rest which I did not do in summer.
I will rethink my marketing strategy, only because it is written everywhere that you have to do social media that does not mean that there are more interesting ways to do it. I found local contacts the best so far and these locals have relatives and friends visiting and so on.
