EXTRACT
You know what happens when you go to a cocktail party (do people still have cocktail parties?) and meet the guy who loves to talk about himself? You’d soon get bored of that guy who drones on about himself, right?
Then you may spend a good portion of your time warning others to stay away from that guy over there.
The same thing is true for social media. Don’t just talk about yourself and your stuff. Readers will find other writers who are far more interesting.
