Just writing this post, I felt overwhelmed by how much is out there. It sound like you’re already doing quite a lot!

I sometimes follow people back, but since I don’t actually use it to read blogs (I use feedly and wordpress for that), it’s just a nice gesture and I’m usually also following some other way. Do you use Bloglovin’ to actually interact with people?

Although I think if you were going to get blocked by one site, that’s the least bad. I really just can’t deal with the complexity of who sees what on facebook and personally I have more fun with both Pinterest and Twitter. I’m starting to really like Instagram too :)

Given that I put much more effort into twitter, pinterest is looking pretty good for referrals per time spent! I could still do a lot more with it too and I’ve seen other bloggers list as their top referral site, so if you enjoy doing it, I think it could be worth the time :)

I know a lot of people get really good traffic from pinterest, especially if they have good pictures in all of their posts, so I think it’s worth the time for me :)

I’m also auto-posting to G+ but would still like to do more with it and I need to be more consistent about posting everything to Pinterest. There’s always just so much to keep track of!

It’s a habit I picked up after noticing that she was doing it :)

Some of the other social media sites still make me feel old for not getting them. It makes me glad I’m blogging so that I’ll work to stay up-to-date :)

I’m sure which social media each person prefers will be pretty individual. I also find that my biggest driver of traffic is twitter and it’s the site I enjoy the most :)

It is nice to have a list like the one you laid out above so I could make plans on my own list!

Great post thanks :D
