I was slow to get into the Facebook and Twitter game personally because well, I didn’t have a whole lot going on. And did people really want to know my favorite books, tv shows, or that I was on my way to the gym? I’ve since learned differently.
Years ago I presented in home art shows. During that time I learned it took at least 8 times for someone to see my door hanger, flyer, or voice mail message before responding.
