Don’t be a Naked Emperor…

On August 31, 2009, in Featured, by Nettie Hartsock

In Web 2.0,  no matter what anyone tells you – you can’t simply put up a shiny blog  and expect that milions of people will suddenly arrive to gaze at its beauty.

Just grabbing a Twitter account, polishing up your Linkedin.com account and reading one or two other bloggers is not enough either.

In that same vein, your procession (postings) on the Web using all these tools, should never be a series of over-hyped marketing messaging with little or no real insight.

Instead of looking for the quickest way to have the biggest float in the parade, why not strive instead for slowly making your way – respectfully, truthfully, and creatively.

Don’t let people fool you into thinking that just because you’re here it means you don’t have to do anything else.

Don’t be beguiled by folks who tell you there’s a quicker way of using all these tools that don’t involve work on your part.

If you really want to reap the benefits of  Web 2.0, you have to be willing to march with the masses. Let them see who you really are and contribute what you can to benefit everyone.

Don’t view this work as drudgery – view it as a way to find your peeps. Find the tools that work best for you and join in!

And always remember to simply be yourself.
