Blog rot

Friday, September 26th, 2008

It’s so easy to shake my head in disapproval when someone else does not update their blog consistently. I am shaking my head at myself right now. No posts yet in September? What kind of Internet Marketer am I?

It takes a lot of work to nurture a blog or online community. It takes commitment and discipline to produce useful information consistently. And boy does it get hard after that “honey moon period” is over and your blog isn’t so new anymore.

I must admit that I have had a hard time with this blog. The more that I’ve explored other Internet Marketing blogs on the Web, the more annoyed I’ve become at this industry. My blog is another funnel of noise in a sea of trite posts about Google Chrome and the iPhone.

But the best that I can do is to share information that I think is useful for you, small business owner. I learn a lot along the way. So hopefully I can explore more answers to the question, “How can I build awareness on the Internet for cheap or free?” I’m sure that I still have plenty of answers.

My blog’s lack of brand

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

Right now, I feel like the barber with a bad haircut. I’m giving tips about Internet Marketing, yet I’m using a blog with the default WordPress theme.

I wouldn’t be surprised if people think that I’m a spammer.

Sure, I’ve got my reasons for appearing so slavish. I’m busy doing work for clients. But for you as a visitor, you don’t care. Do I want to be the guy who’s too busy to have a nice blog, or do I want to be the guy that goes the extra mile?

Let this be a lesson: your blog’s personality is very important. Right now, my blog makes me look like a used car salesman.
