Looking Back On the Past
For the past year, I’ve been drilling into people that they need to automate as much as possible when it comes to social media. I think I may need to take back some of what I’ve said at this point. The reason is that when I started to automate and have everything set to auto-post, I lost that ever so important personal touch. Don’t get me wrong, the information I was sending out was still of high value to my social followers, but it just seemed kind of blah and not personable.
Here’s What Happened
Once all my automation stopped, I started posting information when I was online myself and was able to instantly engage in conversations with people. It was really me in real-time, interacting and adding value to conversations with my followers. My social relationships grew exponentially, my social followers grew rapidly, and my quality of social followers increased. I was able to start using hashtags that are popular on each individual social network to drive highly qualified and specific traffic to my posts. Using personalized hashtags was a huge benefit to seeing my personal brand explode in popularity.
What I Learned
I learned that by trying different things in my social media branding efforts, I may get the results I’m looking for by accident. In this case, by shutting down my automation service, I actually turned on my personalization service. The main part is in the effort of trying different things. I do see the value in auto-posting for some industries, it’s just not what I’m personally looking for at this time. I don’t post and run anymore, today I post and chat with my followers. That being said, why don’t you leave a comment and let’s chat and see what works for you.
The Call to Action
Take this information and do something with it, if you don’t have the time or don’t know what your doing, that’s fine, reach out to me directly, and I’ll point you in the proper direction and connect you with a helpful resource.

A Journey Into the Emotions of Software Developers
Why I Turned Off My Auto-Post Service and the Amazing Results that Followed
1. Why
I
Turned
Off
My
Auto-‐Post
Service
and
the
Amazing
Results
that
Followed
2. Looking
Back
On
the
Past
For
the
past
year,
I’ve
been
drilling
into
people
that
they
need
to
automate
as
much
as
possible
when
it
comes
to
social
media.
I
think
I
may
need
to
take
back
some
of
what
I’ve
said
at
this
point.
The
reason
is
that
when
I
started
to
automate
and
have
everything
set
to
auto-‐post,
I
lost
that
ever
so
important
personal
touch.
Don’t
get
me
wrong,
the
informa@on
I
was
sending
out
was
s@ll
of
high
value
to
my
social
followers,
but
it
just
seemed
kind
of
blah
and
not
personable.
3. Here’s
What
Happened
Once
all
my
automa@on
stopped,
I
started
pos@ng
informa@on
when
I
was
online
myself
and
was
able
to
instantly
engage
in
conversa@ons
with
people.
It
was
really
me
in
real-‐@me,
interac@ng
and
adding
value
to
conversa@ons
with
my
followers.
My
social
rela@onships
grew
exponen@ally,
my
social
followers
grew
rapidly,
and
my
quality
of
social
followers
increased.
I
was
able
to
start
using
hashtags
that
are
popular
on
each
individual
social
network
to
drive
highly
qualified
and
specific
traffic
to
my
posts.
Using
personalized
hashtags
was
a
huge
benefit
to
seeing
my
personal
brand
explode
in
popularity.
4. What
I
Learned
I
learned
that
by
trying
different
things
in
my
social
media
branding
efforts,
I
may
get
the
results
I’m
looking
for
by
accident.
In
this
case,
by
shuKng
down
my
automa@on
service,
I
actually
turned
on
my
personaliza@on
service.
The
main
part
is
in
the
effort
of
trying
different
things.
I
do
see
the
value
in
auto-‐pos@ng
for
some
industries,
it’s
just
not
what
I’m
personally
looking
for
at
this
@me.
5. The
Call
to
AcHon
Take
this
informa@on
and
do
something
with
it,
if
you
don’t
have
the
@me
or
don’t
know
what
your
doing,
that’s
fine,
reach
out
to
me
directly,
and
I’ll
point
you
in
the
proper
direc@on
and
connect
you
with
a
helpful
resource.
