If you’ve read my previous three posts (here’s Part One, Two, and Three), you might think I’m completely nuts for exposing myself. But chances are, that if you’re in the business, you’ve heard some sort of version of how important your social media presence is and maybe you yourself have embellished a post or two. After a week of being an InstaJunkie, I felt exhausted trying to come up with consistently interesting and relevant posts. I kept a steady flow for about a week, but then I was just kind of over it.
