Networking

Often times the hardest part about multitasking is ensuring that everything gets done completely. This is something I’ve always struggled with. As I’ve gotten older I have gotten better, but still do find myself getting distracted or neglecting one task over another.

In the process of marketing and advertising my websites I’ve spent so much time online that I’ve neglected the process of photography itself. I’m terribly behind in my editing and haven’t pulled out my camera in a couple of days.

I’m working nights right now so I sleep all day missing the good light of the morning. This is when most of my work gets done as I’m not apt to leave my home at sunset very often because that’s family time.

Because my work schedule is pretty crazy I tend to ensure that when I am home in the evenings I stay home. Just trying to be a good dad and husband.

While I work nights I spend countless hours building my profiles on various social networking sites like Digg and StumbleUpon. This is pretty much the way you market and advertise blogs. Everything is linked to everything on every profile I have online. I’ve done a good job of ensuring that a google search of Damien Franco pulls up mostly my sites. Now of course, nobody googles my name that often, but as I build my profile and begin to do more guest posts on other blogs people will start to do that.

This is a basic look into some of the things I think about as I build my online profile. I have to control, to the best of my ability, what pops up when I’m googled.

This will be super important later when I’m more well known in both the art community and blogging community.

So now it’s time to get back to networking. FYI, if you’re interested in getting in touch with me through one of my social networking profiles they can all be found in the Social Circle tab above.

Oh yeah, I need to update some of those.
