Why I’m afraid of using social media professionally

Unclear ROI unless your job is teaching people how to grow their audience

It’s still social media

Getting sucked into the attention economy

Cheap tricks get attention (see post picture) – “Am I some conjurer of cheap tricks?”

Saying something dumb. I don’t want dumb as part of my “personal brand”

Exposing something private

Hurt feelings

Unintentionally offending someone

Intentionally offending someone

Being boring

Not being good at it – “How is it that all these stupid, Neanderthal mafia guys can be so good at crime and smart guys like us can suck so badly at it?”

Being judged for how I spend my time

Any I missed? But hey, I’m still here.
