Modern Day Social Media Tactics 2024

One thing about social media and creativity that’s always bothered me is writing with someone else in mind.

Otherwise, why would someone care...it's the reason originality is so rare these days.

It would be radical to write for the sake of writing, but who would listen?

Should one care if anyone does?

Modern day social media is best leveraged if you care about things other people care about...pop culture, politics, consumer tech, social justice, photography, fitness, fashion and music.

If you have strong opinions on any of these, you stand a better chance to create a highly engaged community between each other.

If you dont care much for any of those with enough or a slant in the extreme, you'll find youre too indifferent to make any kind of impact lol

I dont care that much about 99% of things...very few things are given that much importance in my life.

Marketing and product especially trains you to think entirely of the end user.

That’s just good business.

The art is in making it work for both you and the end user.

Reflections on my days in NYC

Sometimes I think about New York and this day at Roosevelt island because of how uncertain my future looked to me. Looking back on it now I wish I could tell the “me” that was living in New York to keep that smile going because at no point in time does it ever make sense not to appreciate the breath in our lungs. As long as you have your health and patience; the world is yours.

Revisiting NYC after 6 years

The last time I was in NYC 🗽 I felt a huge difference on the lower east side and the village. The parts that are still bustling are near Times Square but everywhere else felt night and day. I lived there years before the pandemic and went there last year. Still a beautiful city with beautiful people. I’m not sure if it changed or if I did but I’ll always remember the city that never sleeps.
