Comments on: The Real Purpose for Building Alliances http://www.sitesketch101.com/building-alliances/ An Artistic Approach to Online Business Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:11:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: Ellen http://www.sitesketch101.com/building-alliances/#comment-26329 Ellen Tue, 13 Apr 2010 09:07:53 +0000 http://www.sitesketch101.com/?p=6530#comment-26329 I am here for your contest (yeah yeah but I am using a computer from 2004)... but being here I have read the articles before I tweet them.I liked this one in particular and for me it's quite timely. I like entering contests and alot of others do also- there is a blog contest happening where my choice was to tweet and vote for a crappy blog, or to tweet and vote for a well written one and the blogger who writes the well written one donates time and money to Child Abuse Prevention. Now the first blog (the crappy one) I am 'friends' with- the second I know of her but do read what she says. Everyone is voting/retweeting for the friend even though the blog is horrible. I think youre right, people have become so used to retweeting junk they don't think twice. I have been on the outs now for tweeting and voting for who I believe in, and for a cause I believe in. Excellent articles BTW- I keep getting lost everytime I tweet the contest now!

I completely understand how important it is to know how to focus your efforts in a particular direction. You might not know this, but I work a full time job outside of blogging. I'm in the United States Army. I have to be able to focus my energies on the most important aspects of my blogging success or I would never make it anywhere. .-= My Latest Blog Post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SiteSketch101/~3/eGgw-JFUClk/building-alliances">The Real Purpose for Building Alliances</a> =-.

They said that I sounded too stiff as if I were reading from a script (which I didn't) and that I never blinked. Of course, the last note about blinking was a joke amongst us, but the rest of the critiques are incredibly helpful for me as I work to improve the quality of the presentation. I value that part of my alliance more than I can say. .-= My Latest Blog Post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SiteSketch101/~3/eGgw-JFUClk/building-alliances">The Real Purpose for Building Alliances</a> =-.

Most people think their blogs are a lot cuter than other people think. You're right about that concept. We really do think that our blogs are much better than they actually are and this leads to failure. We should be our own biggest critics and we should actively recruiting our friends to criticize us onward toward success. We need to find our weaknesses so that we can do better and grow stronger. .-= My Latest Blog Post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SiteSketch101/~3/eGgw-JFUClk/building-alliances">The Real Purpose for Building Alliances</a> =-.

Those that I see retweeting junk make me hesitant to click on their links in their twitter stream. I'm always forced to wonder if they are sharing someone's content or if it's actually something that they saw that they liked. It's good that you drew the line and decided to only share what interests you. .-= My Latest Blog Post: <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SiteSketch101/~3/eGgw-JFUClk/building-alliances">The Real Purpose for Building Alliances</a> =-.
