Day By Day By Day

So I haven’t blogged in a good while. I decided to start back, scrambled around, reset my password and realized I’d signed into the wrong page. But—I did remember my password for this page, which is a miracle unto itself, believe me.

So yeah, blogging. And Facebook. And Pinterest. All of these things will help my business, right? Right, if you use them. If you use them on a daily basis. That’s the hard part for me, the daily part. I have a hard time sticking to a consistent routine. Maybe because, in another lifetime, my work hours were anything but consistent.

And there’s so much to learn. I need a glossary of all these terms for starters. Insights, traffic, content. I frequently think about what these words meant in 1978, along with java. And bluetooth was something you certainly didn’t want to have.

I guess blogging is a lot like exercise. You just start over and try to be consistent.

See you tomorrow. Maybe.

 

 

Pin This To Your Face

Have you seen the Wal-Mart commeercial with the young girl telling Dad “we can pin, post, tweet, snap, tag, text & share”? Yeah, sometimes I feel about as confused as her dad looks. But these are things we baby boomers need to learn about. In my case, I need to learn how to use these avenues because I have an eBay store, oohshinycollectibles (shameless promotion #1). I’ve been selling on eBay for 2 years now, and boy, has it been a learning experience. Here are my products, how do I get people to see them? We’ve all mastered email, but email seems to be going the way of the dinosaur, get with it people! So I have a Facebook page dedicated to OohShiny Collectibles (shameless promo #2), a Pinterest page appropriately named  oohshinycollectilbes (SP #3), the aforementioned eBay store (SP #4 or SP #1 x 2) and this blog that I’ve been neglecting because, well, who has time to sit down and type up a blog? Oh yeah, stop rescuing so many Farm Heroes and you might be able to squeeze a little blogging in. Priorities. I’ve been mulling over some things I’d like to write about, things I’ve learned in the past 2 years of my OohShiny (shameless promo #5) experiences. Hopefully, you’ll start reading more blogs from me. Feel free to comment. Learning together is fun.
