I’m a little bothered by the fact that I only have 88 followers on twitter but I have over 1,251 on facebook. I even advertised on facebook my twitter account but hardly any one joined from facebook. Maybe people on facebook don’t use twitter.
It’s my own fault though because I didn’t join twitter until very late. I didn’t want to do twitter because it’s too much stress trying to get people to join your new site all the time. I feel like a used car salesman. Owning a website sometimes feels like being a used car salesman or even like a telemarketer. I don’t like that part of owning a website. “Hey! Come to my site and look at my ridiculous rants on the New York Yankees!”
It’s kind of like being in high school again when I’m on twitter. I don’t like the way it feels.
What really stinks is that you know some thing new is going to come out and then I’ll have to start all over again trying to get people to be part of that new thing.
The best way to start a website is to be part of another website first and then break off from them or stay with them and have your own blog. It’s hard to get a following when you start from scratch.
That’s what I did. I started a website and thought that as soon as I typed something, my writing would magically appear all over the internet. That’s not the case. You have to network and do a lot of stuff and the most important thing is, you have to be good at it. It’s stressful. When I started, I knew nothing about websites.
From now on, when I do things, I’ve learned to research it first and be prepared. I was really eager to start the Disabled Mess radio show and wanted to start right away but I plan on being more prepared for it than when I started this website.
For the type of person I am, I started the wrong type of website. I love the Yankees but the market is saturated with Yankee blogs. I would love to have a blog where I can curse at will and make fun of every one and their mother and say anything I want to say without fear of turning away PG rated fans.
The thing is, the internet is saturated with blogs and websites like that already with Perez Hilton and TMZ.
My ego gets hurt sometimes when I think people don’t think I’m important. That’s my drive to suceed, to get people to think I’m important. I don’t like feeling like this however. I don’t want to have to get people to like me so I look like I’m doing something with my life. Why can’t I be rich?
All I know is that it’s windy and cold outside and I did nothing but sulk today.
