Repeat after me- Facebook is not my closet...

This is what I wound up repeating over and over again this week as I recommitted myself to my business. I do a lot of freelance writing. I also do direct sales and I am active in the gaming community as an event organizer and a forum moderator. I have a delayed toddler, legal troubles and more to do than one person can possibly handle. In short, I am a mom.

I have been neglecting the social media side of my business. When I went to organize it this week using Hoot Suite, I found that my poor little owl had so much to refresh every 5 minutes it was losing feathers from the stress.

So I started cleaning pages off my facebook and twitter feeds. I organized tabs on my hoot suite to break up the streams by page and social site.

At first I treated it like cleaning out my closet. "If I haven't interacted with this page in one year, I should probably unfollow it..."

My poor owl was still looking kinda tired. There are very few pages I interact with on a daily basis. So I got just one more app. This app was to unlike, unfollow and declutter my feeds.

When I do sit down to social network, even with the streamlining tools I have, wasting time reading 20 updates of memes isn't helping my business or schedule. It isn't making dinner and it sure isn't making me money.

Over the next few days I will be sure to do posts to "relike" all my personal friends pages and any pages I want to promote or use in my networking projects. I feel a little twinge of guilt for all the pages I like in a giveaway, I really do. And I didn't unlike the ones that always keep me really engaged with fun and useful posts, they stayed.

It was a reminder to me that I can use giveaways and networking to gain fans and customers, but I have to make an impression, stay involved, and provide a one of a kind experience to keep them.

Divorce

Some of you know what I have dealt with lately. A few of you know the more sordid details and they really aren't pleasant. Some have asked how you can help.

Well for one, if you are the praying type please say a prayer for a smooth transition for myself and my son. If you are not the praying type, send some good thought sour way.

As with most divorces my main problem with "getting away" has been money. They are days where I think it will be easier to stay.

I will be paid support when I leave so between my Thirty One and that my son and I will be just fine. It is the moving and stuff... well it is hard to raise the funds.

All of my commission for the next few months from

https://www.mythirtyone.com/suziemadeit

Will be going to this fund.

I have also started a gofundme for donations.

The link is http://www.gofundme.com/suziedivorce

Also ~~ Household items that we don't have doubles of would be a huge help because it is less we have to buy before we split up households. So if you have an extra toaster siting in a box or see an amazing sale on them etc... It would greatly help!

i appreciate poeple asking how they can help and every little bit helps! Thanks for all the good wishes and words of encouragement as well as the stories you have shared with me that inspire me to know there are better days to come again.
