Consider a Vlog

Seems like more and more of you are asking me about starting a blog these days. Admittedly, I try to talk you out of it. If you are not already inclined to writing, meaning, you journal, write long emails, and generally have a lot to say ... this will be tough for you. Also important - you should write well - I'm talking grammar, spelling, flow, all of it.

I understand why you want to put yourself through this torture, I know what you are hearing out there. Homepages are dead. Blogs are everywhere.

There are a few things you should you know ...
- No one will read it, unless you promote the heck out of it and manage to get folks there
- Once you build it and they come, you need to be cool with comments/challenges/criticisms
- You will lose credibility fast if you don't write posts regularly

Still not convinced? Good - see me and I will get you started.

My thought ... consider a vlog (video blog) instead. You can record a video in a few minutes (heck Ian Watts does it in his car) and upload it to your very own YouTube channel (easy peasy). Bypass the writing, agonizing and re-writing. Sure you still have to promote it, but video is hot and text is, well kinda flat.

Who's in?
