This is a good question. I do and I don't.

Other Social Media Platforms

Do I use other Social Media Platforms? The answer is yes. But none like I use Steemit.

Let's first look at the usual suspects:

Facebook

Yes	No
I have an account	I use it on a regular basis
I check on specific groups	I socialize on the platform
I use it to promote my podcast	I have fun there
I have a group & a page	I post there myself

As you can see, I do have a presence there, but I have others who post to the podcasting group for me. I do share posts from Steemit on my personal page - I never go and interact.
I do belong to several groups which are a companion to courses I am taking - and I hardly go there either. I should.

Instagram

I haven't posted or looked on my personal account in ages.

I have a goal to post to the podcasting page 5 times a week again - but I haven't. Soon, my friend and guest co-host will take that over for me.

I cross post from Steemit maybe once a week.
The podcast gets posted automatically upon publishing.
I spend no time interacting.

I have neglected this platform but think it is useful for promoting the podcast and need to understand it better. My plan is to do more affiliate sales and Pinterest would be a good place for longterm exposure.

Twitter

I cross post from Steemit but hardly ever go there.

Patreon

Just discovered their story feature and have been using it. To update my page and provide more content for my current Patrons is high on my list.

Sola

I spend maybe 10 minutes a day on Sola. It is a site where you earn cryptocurrency and it is fairly easy to use. Sol is not worth much, but why not. If you like to join, here is my referral link: https://sola.ai/mariannewest

Lit

I just started on this platform a few days ago. It is like Snapchat - the photos disappear after 24 hours. The coin earned is Mithril. You find it in the App store.

Currently, I post a photo (you have to take as you post, there is no uploading from your collection) and spend one minute max to follow 2 people and like some of their posts each time. Max 10 min total a day.

Mind

I signed up following a friend, but I can't figure it out. Correction - I probably could but don't want to spend the time.

It looks like I am on a lot of Social Sites, but I spend most of my time on Steemit. I have my own account, I have @freewritehouse where I don't do all the posting and I have @sustainablelivin for podcast related posts.

I am actively working on developing a social media strategy for the other "traditional" sites since that is where most of my listeners are.

How about you? Are you still on a lot of other platforms? Which one is your favorite? Is there one I should be on (and it is easy and doesn't take a lot of time)?
