I've been trying to get people to look at my eBooks, web writing, photos, videos and photojournalism for 4 years now with very little success. Recently, thanks to FAA, I found out about a new social media site called tsu. I joined and now think that decision is a turning point in my life.
I had 300 views on my posts in the first 24 hours and have never looked back. Today I have phenomenal results after 3 weeks. I have had 1500 views to my artists website in this time, far in excess of my previous results. I have had increased traffic at all my other three sties - my website, You Tube and Behance. All my analytics are going up steeply on the graphs. I have at least 10 eBook sales on Amazon and Selz directly coming from tsu.
Here is the action on my profile over at tsu:
198 FRIENDS
185 FOLLOWERS

In three weeks!
My niche is weight loss and health. My photos. videos and writing come out of the experience of becoming "Half My Size" in my 50's with new, healthy habits I never knew about in my prior obese lifetime. I have been working for four years to get my message out. You can look at about 75 marketing posts on my website to review the MANY MANY MANY failed attempts I have made to get people to listen to my story of hope. I'm up against the "Three Week Miracle Diet", so my slow and steady life change idea (that worked) often falls on deaf ears.
At tsu, people engage with my posts, share them and ask questions. They tell me their burning desire to get healthy. They look at my art and give great input and share it on their wall. They watch my crappy videos made in desperation to reach people and tell me they loved them [or how I should improve them]. They read and share my website articles. They join me on Pinterest and re-pin my work. They follow me on Twitter and do the same. It's such a waterfall of frenzied attention that I have trouble getting away from the computer as notifications go on 24/7 from all over the world. I wake up to 50 or more every single morning.
Did you have almost 500 comments anywhere in the last three weeks? My FB posts get a couple of "likes" maybe. If I'm lucky someone might say "Cool!" Now I end up in conversations about my work with multiple players over at tsu.
I would like to add that there are some bad apples on tsu. Luckily there is a very easy "block" function and I solve the problem one user at a time. Today, my tsu feed is filled with fabulous work from all over the world and people who care. Tsu is creating a community I am thrilled to be a part of.
If you have a lot of content (not just ads for your work) and you are trying to reach an audience, please join me. Here's my Pinterest board for more information if you would like to investigate to see if tsu is for you:
