Listen to Your Heart

*“Next time, I’ll listen to my heart

Next time, well I’ll be smart”*

Some wise words from The Ramones. Don’t wait for a next time – start today! In other words: listen to your heart, but rely on the experience to get the best results. This holds true for almost everything in life. Fashion, love, your personal values, and even your marketing mix. Just because everyone is doing it, doesn’t mean that you should. This can go both ways but today, we’ll take the latter approach.

Here are some ways your social media presence can benefit when you take the time to listen to your heart and share your passion. Have any others you’d like to add?

• People want to know more. This article from Social Media Today shows that the most common retweets are actually “bites of wisdom”.

• Establish your unique voice. There must be thousands of mommy bloggers, but only one Jessica Gottlieb (@JessicaGottlieb).

• It makes you interesting! It doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong, taking a stand will help you stand out.

• Helps you remain consistent. Are you an avid sports fan or film buff? Your readers will probably never get a chance to meet you, but will grow to know the socialyou that you put forward.

• Even if you make mistakes, you can learn and try better next time :]
