		<description>Well Monika, I have to agree with you when it comes to Social Networks...you don&#039;t need all the tools, you just need to find the right ones! You need to find what networks are actually going to be effective and deliver something worth-while for you. LinkedIn for example has done a lot for me and so has Twitter (despite the fact that it is in most cases a large time-suck). 

See, the more networks you become a part of, the less effective you become at marketing yourself across various networks. But it&#039;s almost like the more we do it, the less it works. The less it works, the more we do it. 

Anyway, here&#039;s what I say: you need to limit your approach with respect to the social networks that you join and market across in order to be effective.</description>

		<description>@ Ellen: Yes it is, but there are still things I will never figure out. At least not for now. It just takes so much time to learn coding and while I really love all those aspects (I guess I just love learning) I should really do a webmaster course one day. :-) 

That would be ueber cool.</description>

		<description>Monika, 
That&#039;s great you can figure it our yourself!  I had quite a time setting up WordPress without coding or html knowledge, basically plugging it into the database.  
That is a great skill to know along with your online writing.  E</description>

Gosh! You made me blush :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence and your generous advice. I&#039;d be happy to return the favour (so far as I can) anytime.</description>

		<description>@ Ellen: Not to worry. :-) Yes I do consulting work and have set up various blogs for friends and clients, but my writing is the major part of my business.

The consulting has just evolved from teaching myself and learning more and more about coding and setting up blogs. I just love all that tech stuff - until something doesn&#039;t work. LOL. Then it&#039;s downhill for the time it takes to figure that out.</description>

		<description>@ Rebecca: you are most welcome. I love a healthy discussion since it engages my brain cells some more. I understand where you came from and am glad you see the light now. :-)

You know, the ocean is big enough for all the fish that swim in it, so whether you are a whale or a sardine there is room for you and everyone will get to eat as well.

I subscribed to your blog about a week ago and have to tell you that you are a very gifted writer indeed. I actually feel that I can learn heaps from you and there is no reason why you should be &quot;afraid&quot;.

Roll with your passion as you already do. It will lead you to greatness!</description>

		<description>I understand, Monika. I didn&#039;t know you also do web consulting.  I thought you were mainly a writer.  Sorry, I haven&#039;t read your side bar!  Well, I guess I did, but I thought you do webcopy, not blog analysis.  Which could be both.  

Anyway, have a great day.  You&#039;re probably sleeping now.</description>

		<description>@ Monika

Thanks for your patient and thoughtful responses to the persistent questions of a new freelancer like me :)

I realised, after reading your reply, that my original question was based on a &#039;scarcity&#039; mentality - that there was only room for a certain number of blogs on writing. 

Thinking like this can keep us from trying so many things - believing that there is no point in trying when there are already lots of other people doing it &#039;better&#039; than we could.

Of course you quite rightly set me straight: it&#039;s not about competition. It&#039;s about expressing your passion for writing, and there are as many different ways to do that successfully as there are passionate writers in the the world.

Thanks!</description>
