Mack Collier’s Viral Garden is one of the first blogs I read when I started blogging 2.5 years ago and has been my social media instructor over the years!
I love social media because it is such a new medium and it gives me the freedom experiment. But when you experiment, you can also make huge mistakes. Mack recently published a post of his social media mistakes – time to blog and tell:

Sep 23rd
… and I am ready for new challenges! In other words, there will be a lot of changes on this site over the coming month weeks.
It amazing to see how things have changed over the last couple of years… blogging was something I did in my spare time and I never really cared about rankings or traffic. And then someone introduced me to a tool that has made me realise that this very blog needs a lot of work!
