Favorite Quotes:
- “When you look at social media, it can be the enemy of ease. So you can just fritter away all this time and not really benefit.” — Mary Sullivan
- “For me, it’s a balance . . . I don’t want to overwhelm. So I look at what I can deliver that engenders me as an expert that is supportive to my community, that potentially invites them to seek me as an expert and develop and schedule posts based on that.” — Mary Sullivan
- “I’m trying to communicate, in my sharing, the nature of who I am and how I can help without too much hard selling.” — Mary Sullivan
- “It’s better to be a consistent presence on two outlets, like Facebook and Twitter, so that people who follow that get a real sense of who you are and what you offer, than this haphazard presence on multiple channels.” — Mary Sullivan
