7 Ways To Focus And Quit Being Scared Of Social Media

Why you need to leash your squirrel, once and for all!

I keep hearing people saying they’re staying away from social media because it’s too distracting.

NEWSFLASH: It’s not the social channels that are distracting… it’s the way you’re interacting with them.

People… you need to leash your squirrels!

Here’s how I’ve made it work for me… seven quick tips that might just work for you too:

1

You need to stop being distracted and start getting proactive…

If you’re just starting out, concentrate on one channel at a time (Facebook or LinkedIn, maybe) and make it your own. Think of it as exploring a new place — find out where all the hidden gems are, get to know it like the back of your hand and keep interacting, sharing and being of use until all the locals know you.

When it feels easy and you know you can keep hanging out there and being recognised, maybe start exploring in a few new places as well, following the same methodology.
