I suppose that therein lies the rub, in some ways.
Everybody (or "most" people) seem to completely focused on making money that they overlook the invitation to make these venues a way to INVEST in yourself for the long haul. At least, that's how I am treating this...
I figure I'd still be using social media and getting pretty much nothing for it, so here I am still "using social media" but with the fringe benefit that I can treat all this as a sort of long-term "drip savings account." Whereas I can't necessarily afford to put more money IN to the various tribes, I CAN afford to reinvesting what little I do get from my posts. I just wish more people thought like that!
