He responded right after I tweeted that I had been\u00a0writing thought- ful posts on ActiveRain, and no one was commenting. My feelings were hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Right off the bat, he spotted one problem. My posts were limited to Members; he made a keystroke and now they are available to the public. Ww walked through a recent\u00a0post of mine, He suggested some key words to include. I needed to make\u00a0my posts more local to Massachusetts\u00a0, so they wiould appeal to the audience I was really seeking. He suggested that I put pictures or cartoons in future posts. He showed me how to do this appliocation. I will try to make this addtion, soon.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, I received a ten minute, very intensive tutorial on posting on AR. My job now is to make my posts more lively and relevant. That is fair, and I am energized. I am reading a book called TWITTERVILLE by Shel Israel. I am finally starting to understand why Twitter can be powerful in growing my practice. Having said that, the lightning quick response from AR when it was mentioned on Twitter\u00a0is the best evidence\u00a0of what Mr. israel is suggesting, AR is living. No tweet is unimportant; no tweet can be ignored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I do not know his name.\u00a0I always get people&#8217;s names, and write them down, \u00a0when they call me.
