I had a coffee meeting with my group blogging team this am (Friday the 6th). It seems that I'm a bit out there for the group. I have over 1200 hours of blogging and learning involved with AR and developing outside blogs. We were a group of my boss who certainly has more experience blogging than the general group of novice bloggers and the new bloggers. My boss has got it (blogging) major and the new bloggers are on the road.
The question is....how do you get a new blogger up to the standards of a professional blogger.....ugh...rather hard. Do they measure up to the knowledge of 1200 hours our blogging...probably not. You know....that's okay! We...they are on the right track and in time, those that feel the NEED will receive the REWARD. It's hard to be on the cutting edge. I seem to have knack for seeing the new trend in technology and building infrastructure on a leading edge level. I believe that the fact that that occurs is because I am bless with some forsight about how technology can agument human productivity. I seem to know the new thing that keeps me on the leading edge of technology.
I left my morning meeting feeling like my Boss would rather I shut up and my partner, Lauri Gibson saying "ya think so"....when ask was I overbearing. I was attempting to suggest that a blogger needs to identify a search critieria and niche markets to blog to. You would think I was a freak of sorts or so they made me feel that.
Sorry....but can you really try to teach blogging without the systematic approach of what you are after which is WHAT....SEO! It seemed in our meeting that we had a casual approach to blogging....sorry...it's all busines for me. Long tail keywords...SEO and calls from people reading my blogs and knowing me through transparancy. My result is "Hello, I want to thank you for information on short sales, will you help me sell my house". Can there be a better result!
As a result of this meeting today....I'm calling it quits and deciding to work from home. It will be easier on everyone. I'm tired of being a"Thought Leader" and getting funny looks. Thought Leaders are not necessarily well liked...just known to be different!
Boss...I'm on your side....but we have a ways to go! Love ya....but you must lead...not follow! You are doing great....and I just must take my own road!
