Feedback. Objectively it is difficult to estimate own idea. Reaction of people around can become a litmus piece of paper. The artist Christoph Nimann tells: "My career began during an era when neither Facebook, nor Twitter, nor Instagram was yet. I perfectly know what it: to work, without receiving almost any feedback from public. Therefore I consider social networks tremendous and, perhaps, the necessary assistant".

In social networks it is full of trolls. You do not feed them. From the book "Sketches on Sundays"

The lack of likes and critical remarks painfully beat a self-assessment because we want to look cool professionals. And fans often have advantages. They have nothing to lose, they are ready to try new and to share results. They love in what they are engaged therefore they do what others consider ridiculous or just silly.

A result - 4:3 in favor of social networks. It seems that it is useful to spread projects nevertheless and it is necessary. And not to go crazy from network popularity (or its absence), use these councils.

And judges who? Many people in social networks do not estimate your work, and just want to support or, on the contrary, to offend. Estimating responses, first of all define from whom you received them. You have to be interested in feedback from those who are connected with you and your work. Other comments do not matter.

Do what you love, and you speak about they are you will attract people who like your work. And never, never you ask people to become your subscribers.

Support and enthusiasm. Likes and enthusiastic comments under a post - a powerful inspiring incentive. It pleases, inspires and helps to pull up trees. Perhaps, for the sake of these emotions we also spread projects in network.

What you show in social networks - is not what you are. Likes and subscriptions do not reflect degree of your talent. You keep closer to family, friends and those who loves you for the fact that you are, and not just for your work.

Nothing means. Likes in social networks are pleasant, but they not always reflect quality of our work. As well as the lack of likes does not say that it is bad. Approval of subscribers and even virus success are too superficial.

Austin Kleon writes in the book "Show the Work!": "Almost all who inspire me and whose ideas I steal, regularly share the progress. Instead of keeping the projects the most strict secret, they do not hide them and constantly share fragments of works, the ideas and new knowledge on the Internet. They do not "sit" on social networks, they use them in the purposes".

During an era of social networks it is possible to show to public any work, the idea, the project and to understand that people think of it. But whether it is necessary? Whether discussion does well or only exhausts forces? We collected pros and cons.

Technology of survival in social networks. From the book "Show the Work!"

Stop thinking about that how many people watch you on the Internet. Do not subscribe for someone only because you can benefit from this. If you want to have subscribers, be engaged in interesting business - then people will want to learn about you more.

Often among one thousand laudatory responses we notice one negative - and we lose motivation. Here antidote from Austin Kleon. "I store all really good letters in the special folder (unpleasant letters immediately are removed). And when there come gloomy times and need for support is felt, I open this folder and I re-read couple of letters".

There are more chances to finish begun. Kind of we wanted to be independent, we strongly depend on opinion of people around. To us it is important that in their eyes our words did not disperse from business. Therefore if ahead the big project which you do not decide to begin long ago or you are afraid to break at the responsible moment the pledge and regular reports in social networks will begin a strong incentive to finish business.

Try: instead of scrolling unpleasant responses in the head, collect laudatory. Use them accurately, without daring to rest on laurels, but you hold near at hand in case it is required to lift the fighting spirit.

Social networks help to sell. Social networks not just the instrument of communication - they help to solve practical problems: to find adherents, investors, employers, buyers.

Causes dependence. If someone says as if to it all the same how many at it likes, and he is not upset when the post collects few responses, do not trust. All of us worry, spreading the creations on a public inspection. Sometimes people lose themselves in a pursuit of approval of people around.
