Having a plan of attack for these social media outlets is vital for success; there comes a point when you get burnt out of ideas to keep traffic moving across these sites as well as ongoing interesting content.  Gini Dietrich, lead blogger for, Spin Sucks, supplies an article for when these burn-out feelings hit you.  In her article, “Increase Blog Traffic with These 12 Ideas,” Dietrich supplies us with tips for what to do when what you’re used to doing stops working:
