Maybe I could put that a little more succinctly?

“I’m no expert, but I love to tinker.”

As a guy with an artist’s bent I love looking at everyday common things and finding one thing about it that’s special or unique. Be it blogging or composing I enjoy revealing the inherent drama any object or idea has by framing it in an attempt to reveal how a most simple thing can convey a lot of meaning, feeling, or emotion if it’s just looked at in the right setting or from a certain perspective.

I studied music composition and theory for many years. This is my wellspring for almost everything I create. It’s where I come from. I love all kinds of music and a favorite genre is 20th Century orchestral music by composers like Stravinsky, Bartok, Debussy, Ravel, Harris, Copeland, etc. One thing I learned from them and have always admired was their ability to illuminate a very simple idea into an amazing work. They took you on a journey not unlike an epic novel or a great movie.

How did they do that?

They developed a personal language and style. They created systems to adhere to. They created rules for each piece they composed and they followed them.

Stravinsky once put it like this.

“Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning.”

What he meant was composing is not just about being inspired. It’s cool when you are (so get it all down before the editor turns on) but more often than not it’s having discipline and doing the work that creates the inspiration.

He followed a path of inquiry and explored. In short, he created a box where he was free to roam and explore and play with anything he wanted to as long as it was from within the box.

Through this self imposed limitation he found freedom.

He no longer had to grapple with infinity.

Great advice for bloggers don’t you think?

Inspiration comes from doing the work. Create your box and stay in it!

Well at least for one post!

Question: What is a search engine’s job?

Answer: To offer up the most relevant and freshest content it has based on the terms we use to search.

Why? Search engines like Google, (Bing and Yahoo) want to provide everyone with the latest and most useful on target content they can so we keep coming back. The more ‘eye time’ on their pages the more opportunity is created to click those paid-for-ads.

That’s it in a (proverbial cyberspace) nutshell!

Granted this explanation is a gross over simplification, yet... The more you understand what the search engine wants to accomplish the more opportunities you’ll find to get your brand out there and seen.

Let me put it this way...

We wouldn’t do over a billion searches a day on Google if they didn’t offer up the answers and content we were looking for.

Blogging about your community creates an opportunity to become a purveyor of content that the search engines will want to offer up. If they find you a reliable source of good local information your visibility will grow.

What is marketing? I heard this so many years ago I can’t remember who said it or how exactly they put it, but I morphed it into this...

Marketing is two things...
1. Attract people who are not doing business with you and convince them they should.
2. Convince your present clients they should keep doing business with you.

There’s no denying in today's world that pull is more powerful than push. Getting and staying in front of people means what you have to say better have some value, be useful, hopefully interesting, and/or entertaining.

Write about the world your clients live in. Address their interests, needs, wants, and desires... And the more your topics align with what the search engine needs to fulfill its objectives, the more you’re going to be smack dab in front of your audience creating opportunity.

When people do have a need for a real estate professional, who do they know? Who will they remember? Who will they call?

What is a search engine’s job? It’s a job very much like yours.
