[...] Social media burnout ain’t pretty. I’ve seen some take a break and recover, while still others just never come back.

I’m a social media dad, and my family is counting on me. Burnout is not an option. [...]

This is stupid, and you’ll end up doing poorly everywhere. Focus on only a handful of sites and grow to know them intimately. Once you have established yourself somewhere, you may be able to leverage yourself in other social sites. Being a finder and producer of good user generated content is sure to attract attention as well. Above all, be sure to watch out for social media burnout [...]

@Kristen: I’m glad you liked the article! Knitting is a great release, and you’re even doing something productive in your downtime – kudos!

There’s hope for you yet!

@Michael Brito: I don’t recommend paying for Stumbles. Most in the space agree with my position as well.

That is an awesome list Brian! I definitely can relate to #5. How many times has dinner been served late because I just wanted to stumble a few more sites.

Is there hope for me?
