How To Achieve Online Success In Less Than 24 Hours
On Tuesday, late afternoon, I signed up for Social Media Today . I created the basic profile, linked my blog, and went to teach my social media class. Wednesday at 7 AM in the morning, I got an email that congratulated me for my successful post on SMT. I checked it out and could not believe it. Two of my posts, randomly selected by the service, made the top stories on SMT. One of them was Number 1 for the day on the Social Media Category. At 7 AM, one post had 1828 views and the other 1655. Today (Thursday), as I write this post, the first one has 3091 views and the second 2849. Not to mention the over 130 tweets and giant spike on my website traffic I got yesterday and today. They are still "top stories", but not on the Number 1 position.
I've been researching, teaching, and consulting others on how to achieve success with social media for a long time. One constant advice I give people is to have patience. I have never expected this overnight success for my own blog posts. So here is to my 15 picoseconds of fame.
