You are Sociable and Entertaining

You are Sociable and Entertaining

I like to think of myself as sociable. I spend time meeting people online and I also take that offline and meet people. Earlier this month I put on Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs and met some very interesting bloggers, some whom I had spoken with online and some I’d never met before. Being sociable isn’t too hard for me. I really enjoy it. However entertaining, well, I’m not too sure about that.

Are you Sociable?

Being sociable online takes time. Sure you can hang out on twitter all day and RT tweets from other bloggers. However, do you take the time to visit other blogs and leave comments. For me comments are the single largest measure of whether or not my blog is doing well. If people take the time to leave me a comment on a post then I know I made a connection. If you are going to be sociable online then you are going to need to make the effort and make that connection with other bloggers and also your regular readers.

Do you respond to your comments?

Do you take the time to engage those who took the time to connect with you? Responding to comments is something that you can do easily. In my daily routine I get a comment I respond immediately. Don’t let the comments back up either because once you engage your readers you need to stay engaged.

Entertaining?

I don’t think that I am too entertaining. I’d like to be more entertaining though. I’m thinking of taking the plunge and attending and participating in the Speed of Thought Players: Scary & Fast comedy workshops. We’ll see.

Wondering where the FortunateBluFrog Is?

Every Fortune can’t be about the Frog man, gotta give it a rest once in a while. But the frog is not gone. Just missing today.

Good Things Are Being Said About You

Good Things are Being Said About You.

Good Things Are Being Said About You

This is pretty timely since I just posted my 1st post about Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs II: Laughing it up while raising money for Walking for 2nd Base! The response from people about the upcoming event has been amazing. People are really saying nice things about me. And that freaks me out a little.

Why should this “Freak You Out?”

Well, the thing is I’m not really doing anything except helping to put together an event that I’d have put together even without outside help. I just really like the comedy club and the people there and the more I can work on getting them exposure the better I feel. I figure if they do well then we’ll get some decent nightlife in North Attleboro and they are helping to save something that is dying across America, The Downtown, The Main Street, The Community. And then my friend Sue is awesome for walking in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, she and her team are the ones really doing things, making a difference. Me I’m a facilitator.

What Does This FortunateBluFrog Fortune Mean for Bloggers?

If you want people to speak well of you then try to make a difference. Speak well of others. If someone wrote a great post leave them a comment and let them know what you liked about the post.
