Be True To Yourself

What a glaring, knock out message it was when I read" Who has been doing your tweets for the last couple of days? It doesn't sound like you". Oh, my! What did I do differently. Will make a check list.

I used my 10 free Buffer tweets for automatic disbursement. My followers have increased and I wanted to say thank you in addition to pressing the follow button. I did a few shameless plugs for my little art business. Most people do that now and then. I promoted Profastpitch Softball because I love the game. People like to share with what they love. I support and re tweet others as well, promoting them and their websites. Used my "old saying: Grandma says: which matches my vintage soul where I can truly say
I am true to myself and my name. Ah ha!- that's it! I started adapting to what others are saying and doing!...Check

What is wrong with that? If you copy someone else, lesson learned. It is not you! If you take their message, learn from it and be creative in your own style and thoughts you will succeed. So I will go back to Twitter 101 and do some lessons on personal branding....Check

What I want to say-be creative and make messages interesting for others to like and share. Make it match the experience you want people to have. Be true to yourself. Does it match your personality?...Check

From Mari Smith, I learned the importance of my name-GrandmaOnDeck-which I chose for my brand name. The name is a true match for my love of fastpitch softball and the love for old sayings I heard from my grandparents and parents. They showcase my message Mari expressed: "the experience I want readers to have. She also said: A Brand of You! It's all in the future"...Check

Reality check time:

Devote time and energy.

Develop what you want to say.

Develop a list of those I want to engage

Don't be intimidated by others writings. Work on writing skills.

Build  my brand with my name, thoughts and experiences.

Be proud to say" I did it my way".
