There’s no denying the fact that Social Media can open doors, create new friendships, build a reputation and pave the way for new opportunities.
Some days I’m engaged in social media and when I do it, I really enjoy it. But the truth is, most days I don’t make, find,or create time for it.
I’m trying to find my balance and coming across another blogger who is fantastic at social media certainly motivates me to get my groove on.
Matt from The Functioning Fishaholics is not only good at Social Media,
I’d say he’s taken it to a new level of groove.
If you’ve ever wondered if you should be engaged in a form or two (or three) of Social Media, then watch this video.
If you need some advice on how to not only enjoy your time spend engaged in Social Media, but to maximize it, watch this video.

It was great meeting and interviewing Matt. There’s a whole world of info out there for those who look!
This is great stuff! When I started pushing my blog through Facebook and Twitter, my daily view average tripled in less than a week! I can’t believe the doors it has opened! Things are really taking off now!
My wife reminded me the other day that social media has the same effect on your brain as cocaine and is just as addictive. I don’t text, I don’t twitter, I tolerate facebook and G+ reminds me of the empty warehouses I used to run around in as a kid.. I have no real interest in what people are doing “in the moment.” Go have your moments, if you have my phone number, call me and we can talk. If you have a blog I follow, go write something interesting and I’ll get around to reading it. Is this attitude hurting me somehow? Who knows. I don’t make a living at this stuff. It’s supposed to be fun. Most social media just doesn’t look like much fun. After being on local fishing forums for 15 years, I’m burnt out.
Matt is great…love that guy! We have been “chatting” back and forth through comments on FB and G+. I’m glad to see that he had such a great interview. He works hard at social media interacting, but still knows those that he corresponds with. As for me, I post up on all three for my blog updates. I finally had to let Twitter and G+ go for daily “friendly” commenting because I just don’t have the time. So, FB has won out on where I connect with other bloggers and outdoor enthusiasts. If I didn’t have social media linkage to my new posts…I would probably be down by 1/3 of my viewing audience. So, yes…it is important to keep it up at some level.
Correction: Matt and I have gone back and forth on Twitter and G+. Not FB…
Has anyone tried Hootsuite or Tweetdeck for managing multiple accounts? I haven’t needed to use them yet with just FB and Twitter but once they add Google Plus I might give it a go.
Aaron, I have used both and each has it’s upsides. Hootsuite became my “goto” service because of it’s features and ease of use. I havent messed around with Tweetdeck lately so it may have some features i’ve missed.
