It's true...I don't. I mean I read some great stuff and think, "WOW! That would be something worth sharing with my readers"...but, eh...I just don't feel like it. Also, I have some pretty good ideas...you know for marketing, some tried and true and others with a bit of spin on them. I especially like the idea of "Contrarian Marketing" but to spend anymore time on it would, well offend a few people who are watching my blog...Hmmmm, maybe I should start an anonymous blog?
As a blogger you often get this feeling that your blog isn't really making any huge impact. Which is one of the reasons many bloggers fail? For me, that's not the case. I've been blogging in one fashion or another since about 2003. Here are a couple of things I've learned.
- For me blogging is therapeutic - At times it gives me a chance to get things off my chest or to clear my head. Often I find my mind running a 1000 miles an hour with ideas. Blogging allows me a chance to flesh those ideas out and better yet to have a record of it.
- People don't always comment - Get used to it. Just because they don't comment doesn't mean they don't like it. As a matter of fact most of your comments will be from people who don't like what you said and most of them will be anonymous. So take that for what it's worth.
- You need breaks - No one expects you to blog all day everyday and they don't mind if you take some time off. Plus you need the time. I don't buy into the idea that you need to write just to be writing. If you've got nothing to say...then don't.
- Content, Content, Content - Golden rule "if you would not read it...don't publish it"
How can I or this blog better serve you?
