"forgive myself" & pick up & strive for it each day :) We can be our own worst critics. : Use commonalities and key words.
You're on the right track :) Look at where your FB fans are coming from, email subs, etc. Then you can tackle each one A1: To build a bigger "readership" And of course discover what readers want to read. Then give the people what they want! =D Cool idea! RT : Use commonalities and key words.
Great idea! RT : Engage! Engage! Engage! Know the audience and make genuine connections Great idea! RT : Engage! Engage! Engage!
