Maybe the title of this post makes sense only in my head, but let’s ignore it. Here is a question I am dying to ask just anybody who is willing to answer – How many social media accounts is ‘too many social media accounts’? Optimists who believe in the power of self-promotion will probably say “there is no such thing as too much social media”. Especially if you need to promote stuff.
Here’s the thing, there was a point when I did not have an instagram account and even wanted to delete my Facebook account. Because except for posting my travel pictures occasionally, I would never do anything on Facebook. The only reason I did not flush it out of my life was because it was more useful than LinkedIn when it came to looking for media jobs. I am not kidding. I studied in one of the top Journalism colleges in my country and they have a very strong alumni network on Facebook. So almost every second day, some or the other alumni posts media-related vacancies on the college page.
Now I am on
- WordPress
- Quora
And just today I published my first post on Medium.com about “10 Things I learnt as a new Indie Author”. After I finished publishing the post, I wondered to my self “aren’t I on too many social media sites?!”.
Apparently not. What do you think?
Sometimes I feel like that with just insta and facebook and now this. Mostly because remembering passwords are a living nightmare for me. But I’ve learned so much already from online platforms such as WordPress that I’m so glad we have these accessible in our lives. Sometimes I do need a break from things like instagram etc but this seems to be the one platform that I could never get tired of.
Yeah, I think the WordPress community is very supportive. I have been blogging pretty much every day since the last two months.
