Who Here Has a Blog ...? And What's it About ...?

[Esquire]

Real simple:

Who here has a blog ...?

And what's your blog about ...?

Whether you include your domain name or not ... is completely up to you.

Got more than one blog ...? Same question. What's the other blog about ...?

Here is why I ask:

I think it would be a good idea -- for all of us -- to be able to click on one thread ... and quickly find out who here on the forum is blogging about what.

The idea being ... once we know who the bloggers are ... and who is blogging about what ... that just might pave the way for future cross promotion opportunities.

You publish my article. I'll publish yours. You write an article about me. I write an article about you. You link to me. I link to you.

I think you see where I'm going with this.

Whatever makes sense.

Win win stuff.

But in order for that to happen ... we first need to know who has a blog ... and what your blog is about.

So if you have a blog ... Post it here!

Okay ... I'll go first.

I have one blog about the legal topics (I'm a lawyer).

I have another blog about entrepreneurs, sexual kink and libertarian politics (I know ... odd bedfellows ... but I have my reasons)

And I have a satirical blog -- lampooning anything I find pretentious or worthy of ridicule (to appease my inner Lewis Black)

That's me. Who's next ...?

Do you have any *money making* blogs?

I have a blog. It's not really about any particular subject, just a journal of mine that I started to overcome my writer's block. I only write a few times a month though, but if I can remember, I would like to write more often.

It's more a "knowledge base" of articles I can send people to.

I'm way more active in TFLF.




Why I'm not blogging

(From my INSIDERS progress thread.)

I create content on a daily basis. Not on my blog, but in this forum. Let's consider that daily content creation/writing, akin to "blogging".

It's generated work for me because forum members refer me to business owners who aren't forum members.

It's not my main way of generating leads though. I just do it because I enjoy creating content and "can't not do it".

If I *had* to create content to grow my business, then it would take all the fun out of it for me.

I'm just not interested in having a blog or "content marketing strategy" where I have to write every day in order to grow my business.

I'd rather focus on making sales than writing content to make sales. I'd rather go the direct route.

For me that means using my skills to make clients happy and refer me to other people.

For me, that also means using my skills to generate leads for my own business.

Maybe I could do a bit more with my content and I'm leaving money on the table.
Except the whole idea of "blogging", "online funnels", and "building a list" bores the hell out of me.


Reminds me of "You don't need a website, you need sales."

Just replace "website" with "blog".

Sure, a blog can increase sales for a service business like mine, but it's just one of many ways HOW I can get sales.

Something I took away from "Ready, Fire, Aim" was that, until you're making $1 million per year revenue, your job is to find ONE sales strategy that works and scale it like a mofo.

I'll stick to finding ONE sales strategy that works best for me and that I enjoy, and continue writing for fun - and therapy.



EDIT:

Found it:

• Getting Started - Ready, Fire, Aim: Stage 1 (0-$1M)

It looks like I misquoted it, but heck, finding your ONE initial sales strategy sounds good to me.
