Here we go again
Posted on December 22nd, 2008 | by Tom |What is the purpose of this blog? Well…? I am asking you a question! I was hoping you could tell me because I am still not sure. I have started various other blogs to go with my company’s website but so far none have really fit.
The first had a great idea but in effect it didn’t work. I wanted the blog to act as a window into company so that other entrepreneurs could see what I was doing write or wrong and hopefully learn from my mistakes. The first problem was it was a bit arrogant to assume other people would care about the inner workings of my sole proprietorship company. The second problem was there just wasn’t enough happening for me to blog as frequently as i wanted to in order to increase the blogs popularity.
The second was supposed to help beginning writers by answering questions and giving tips and advice but it was too limiting. I really enjoy helping people but there weren’t really enough questions to really float the sites content. I tried to have articles and How-to’s available but to be honest the whole format as been handled better in other places. For instance, checkout this site called Newbie Writers.com .
Then the last version was just a place to showcase my writing and provide samples for potential clients. That just added to much tension to my writing because I felt like i could never kid around and be silly. Everything had to be so serious….and boring.
So now I am trying something new. This blog will be about whatever strikes me as interesting be it tech, writing, business or my last hiking trip. My only goal is to further develop my voice and hopefully entertain a few people.
