I understand we probably only post this personal stuff because its what everyone else is doing and we don't want to be spammy but at what point do the personal post just get weird.
Lets use Zuzana Designs Twitter page as an example... http://twitter.com/zuzanadesigns
I would expect, maybe a post per day or so business related, just not sure about what. Maybe some new design examples or a new client she took on or good feedback someone left her, etc... but seeing her talk about catching crabs and cooking them to me is just weird and if anything makes the company seem smaller and less serious, (Lol sorry to pick on you Sarah, you were just a good example.) |
Good post, I don't mind being an example at all. I just signed up for it a few days ago, and so far it is pretty cool. It is like an opt in e-mail list of people saying they give you permission to tell them anything you want about what you?re doing lol. I?m trying to use it for some personal stuff and more business. Social networking is where it?s at it seems. People love to hear about what you are doing at all times. I will use it to announce my weekly design specials as well. I have a newsletter now, but this will make it quick and easy. I can say 30% off all design to the first 10 people that reply to me. Or something like that. I?m still learning what will be most useful to my company.
