I dabbled in Twitter just long enough to know I don't have the energy for it. I tried Facebook several times and found it exhausting and demanding, too.

They are useful, no doubt. I know people who have turned their businesses around by using FB and Twitter wisely. It's just--they aren't for me.

Linked In, though, has always felt like a good fit, and when I've made a point of using it, I've gained legitimate information and, yes, leads.

Less is more. There are a lot of social media options out there. Perhaps sometimes the goal is to be maximize your mileage per gallon rather trying to cover as much ground as possible. :)

Isn't it funny how we go to pains to make sure the clients are sorted, but we wing it ourselves, Sharon? Guilty myself of it.

Somewhere last month I did start putting out specific posts and paying more attention to what types of interactions I was engaging in. The goal is to get in front of more clients and befriend them as I've done with a few already.

I'd be the first to admit that I never had a strategy for my own brand though I always made sure my clients had one. I'm being more strategic this year by focusing more on LinkedIn and by linking to my professional site instead of my writing blog when I guest post.

Cathy, I think that's cool, too. You have your goal in mind. And you of all people know how to engage people and interact. So what can you add to really ramp up your results?

I admit I have not used Twitter as well as I could. I guess when it comes to Twitter, I primarily use it for interacting as opposed to any real marketing strategy. I always say I am going to get more strategic, but I just haven't. My best strategy has been on LinkedIn where I work on brand, sharing, and interaction.

I do want to be more strategic about my social media in attracting the kind of leads I get through LinkedIn.
