@CamelsHammers | #adjunctchat The internet and blogs afford the opportunity to revive the tradition of “occasional writing”, writing about abstract ideas | 2/18/2014 16:03 |
@JeffreyKeefer | @CamelsHammers Wow; what a highly trafficked blog. Was that while you adjuncted? What is the link? #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:03 |

@IshaiBarnoy | #adjunctchat @CamelsHammers How’d you manage? | 2/18/2014 16:08 |
@CamelsHammers | #adjunctchat People assess a blog by what it looks like it is. To be taken seriously act like it’s serious already. | 2/18/2014 16:09 |
@FromPhDtoLife | What’s one big question you (adjuncts & academics in general) have abt social media? #adjunctchat | 2/18/2014 16:09 |

@JeffreyKeefer | @CamelsHammers How on earth did you keep up that schedule??!! #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:10 |
@CamelsHammers | #adjunctchat Blogging is a marathon. It involves intense commitment. It’s excellent for freeing yourself to brainstorm and | 2/18/2014 16:10 |

@CamelsHammers | #adjunctchat and for overcoming your academic perfectionism. If you want it to be successful it HAS to be regular. | 2/18/2014 16:10 |
@JeffreyKeefer | @CamelsHammers Would love to hear more about what you mean about this #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:10 |
@JeffreyKeefer | @ECRPublishing Welcome to #AdjunctChat! | 2/18/2014 16:10 |
@CamelsHammers | #adjunctchat If you can’t foresee blogging AT LEAST once a week (but preferably 3-7 days a week) then just guest blog with others | 2/18/2014 16:11 |
@Comprof1 | Sorry I’m late got caught up in the Olympics #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:11 |
@FromPhDtoLife | What place does blogging have in your work & life, @CamelsHammers? How would you describe its importance? #adjunctchat | 2/18/2014 16:12 |
@CamelsHammers | @IshaiBarnoy #adjunctchat I would write on the train, I would wake up o 4 hours sleep, I was propelled by the rush of being heard. | 2/18/2014 16:12 |
@JPSargeant78 | #adjunctchat don’t try 2B a stat whore when blogging. Write with an audience in mind u can connect with. The stats will follow if done right | 2/18/2014 16:12 |

@JeffreyKeefer | @CamelsHammers Why was blogging your communication mechanism of choice and how did it connect (or not) with your #adjunct work? #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:13 |
@IshaiBarnoy | #adjunctchat @CamelsHammers … But what if blogging or popular movements aren’t my thing, or at least not my main thing? | 2/18/2014 16:13 |
@FromPhDtoLife | @CamelsHammers When you say this, what are you envisioning? Profitable blog? A good marketing strategy for a service business? #adjunctchat | 2/18/2014 16:13 |

@CamelsHammers | @JPSargeant78 #adjunctchat Great point! If you write with integrity you will stand out as distinctive. Anyone can pander. It bores people. | 2/18/2014 16:14 |
@nicole_matos2 | #adjunctchat, I’ve had good luck with @Medium as a platform for less-regular blogging–up to 10K readers, not bad for posting twice a month | 2/18/2014 16:14 |
@JeffreyKeefer | @JPSargeant78 Always a useful suggestion; communication does require an audience, even one in mind! #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:14 |
@CamelsHammers | @FromPhDtoLife #adjunctchat Personally, I revolve my life around blogging. It’s psychologically necessary for me to express myself with it. | 2/18/2014 16:14 |
@IshaiBarnoy | #adjunctchat @CamelsHammers I can see how I’m different. I like to showboat, sure. But being heard is a pain. I need to hide from people. | 2/18/2014 16:14 |

@JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy @CamelsHammers Can you talk more about what you mean with this one? #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:15 |
@FromPhDtoLife | @IshaiBarnoy @CamelsHammers FWIW, my starting point is, “I’m writing this for myself.” I’m not as popular as Dan, though! #adjunctchat | 2/18/2014 16:15 |

@CamelsHammers | @FromPhDtoLife #adjunctchat Blogging also became the door to independent business. In 2013I had ~25 independent students, made $18,000 | 2/18/2014 16:17 |
@CamelsHammers | @FromPhDtoLife #adjunctchat those students came from the base of readers who respected what I did on my blog. | 2/18/2014 16:17 |

@IshaiBarnoy | #adjunctchat @CamelsHammers @FromPhDtoLife I’m still figuring out my average length. I’m definitely wading into deep, long-read territory. | 2/18/2014 16:28 |
@FromPhDtoLife | @LitProfSuz Indeed! The academic Internet was abuzz this weekend with comments and responses to @NickKristof #adjunctchat | 2/18/2014 16:29 |
@CamelsHammers | @IshaiBarnoy @FromPhDtoLife #adjunctchat Studies have shown viral pieces are often long pieces. It’s about accessibility and substance. | 2/18/2014 16:29 |
@IshaiBarnoy | #adjunctchat @FromPhDtoLife @JeffreyKeefer @CamelsHammers I’m just chillin’ with my homies. | 2/18/2014 16:29 |
@CamelsHammers | @IshaiBarnoy @FromPhDtoLife #adjunctchat And, of course, relevance. | 2/18/2014 16:29 |
@CamelsHammers | #adjunctchat A mistake people make with blogging is thinking one viral hit means your ship comes in. | 2/18/2014 16:29 |
@FromPhDtoLife | @CamelsHammers @IshaiBarnoy Interesting! I’m much more comfortable with the little bits of insight, 350-500 words at a time #adjunctchat | 2/18/2014 16:30 |
@CamelsHammers | #adjunctchat The only way to build significant traffic is with consistent production and quality of production. | 2/18/2014 16:30 |
@JeffreyKeefer | @CamelsHammers @FromPhDtoLife @IshaiBarnoy Were your blog posts then related to your academic work / teaching? #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:30 |

@CamelsHammers | @IshaiBarnoy @Melissa_Venable @LitProfSuz #adjunctchat Really? who disagreed? | 2/18/2014 16:31 |
@JeffreyKeefer | @CamelsHammers Are you still teaching and juggling the many #adjunct courses you taught? #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:32 |
@Comprof1 | @CamelsHammers true, but I just don’t have time to be so prolific. More important to be consistent if you want following #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:32 |

@JeffreyKeefer | @CamelsHammers Did you intend to build traffic at first? #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:33 |
@CamelsHammers | @Comprof1 #adjunctchat I would choose quality over quantity. But people don’t regularly check slow updating blogs. Need to habituate them. | 2/18/2014 16:33 |

@Melissa_Venable | @JustCallMeAngVS #adjunctchat Agreed! There’s something to be said for focusing on the positive. | 2/18/2014 16:35 |
@CamelsHammers | @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat Took a year for a viral explosion. Then another year until I got on a major platform and became successful. | 2/18/2014 16:35 |
@CamelsHammers | @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat It’s a commitment. I would only recommend it to writers who value their independence to write freely above all | 2/18/2014 16:36 |
@Comprof1 | @CamelsHammers I learned to announce on twitter and LinkedIn #Adjunctchat interesting that I still have some posts popular written 4 yrs ago | 2/18/2014 16:36 |
@LitProfSuz | #adjunctchat I use my prof blogging as a place to share ideas, connect & store things I want to remember to use. Like a 10 yr old scrapbook | 2/18/2014 16:37 |

@FromPhDtoLife | MT @JustCallMeAngVS: @Melissa_Venable #adjunctchat I like blogs with direct experience and ones that are free from the ‘woe is me’ attitude | 2/18/2014 16:37 |

@Melissa_Venable | @JustCallMeAngVS #adjunctchat Careful in terms of … ? I think you’re right, but that it applies to everyone using social media. | 2/18/2014 16:40 |
@JeffreyKeefer | @LitProfSuz @CamelsHammers @IshaiBarnoy @Melissa_Venable I have heard that, as none of this social “stuff” counts toward tenure #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:40 |
@CamelsHammers | #adjunctchat I try to model and enforce academic standards of civility, which is a huge challenge in the blogosphere | 2/18/2014 16:40 |

@JeffreyKeefer | @LitProfSuz @CamelsHammers @IshaiBarnoy @Melissa_Venable Of course, adjuncts are not bound by a tenure dance #AdjunctChat | 2/18/2014 16:40 |
