theGypsy asks Jul 16, 2008 02:36PM should I give up social media altogether? (not networking, media ie; Sphinn, Digg etc...)
theGypsy says Jul 16, 2008 02:44PM erm.... why would I want to continue? I don't make any $$ from it... the site owners NEVER seem to thank any power users (talked to a bunch)
theGypsy says Jul 16, 2008 02:44PM I have 2 wonderful kids that this time could be spent on.... in short, what has social media given me?
theGypsy says Jul 16, 2008 02:45PM I am not talking social networking.... (ie; Plurk, Twitter, FF etc...)
drdollars says Jul 16, 2008 02:46PM Eh... sorry to break it to you, but SM doesn't make you money... SEO does. If you want to make money, I suggest you talk to MichDdot...
BarbaraKB says Jul 16, 2008 02:49PM certain social media sites have made many question involvement. u are asking great questions...
Telemill says Jul 16, 2008 02:52PM Any activity that is taking you away from your family should be booted. Your family is MUCH more important. Very soon those kids are going
Telemill says Jul 16, 2008 02:52PM to be doing their "own" thing and will not have time to be with you. Take the gift given to you today.
Chris Kilian says Jul 16, 2008 03:03PM keep working it in proportion to other activities. you may find that you can do it in spurts while working your seo magic
Chris Kilian says Jul 16, 2008 03:03PM thre are resources/minds/ideas that may not be available to you elsewhere
northrock Jul 16, 2008 04:40PM chris k said it well... do it in spurts here and there. pace yourself... i'm trying to find a pace that works for me too...
theGypsy says Jul 16, 2008 04:49PM yea, that's pretty much the direction I am leaning... tho more networking, less media
andrewburnett wishes Jul 17, 2008 12:00AM you well theGypsy whichever way you decide. I've learned a load & loved a load of your plurks,stumbles, sphinns etc but know how you feel
nthused says Jul 17, 2008 12:14AM It sounds as if you've evaluated and found that it's not beneficial for you to continue. Take the un-plunge
