It's a message I think our world desperately needs to hear, but it feels like I'd just be rehashing everything I've read. I mean, the internet has so much knowledge floating around, and people could just find it if they wanted to. How do we solve this paradox? |
Yeah, this is a recurring blogging stumpling block...
Here is the SECRET...there is nothing new under the sun...
...what makes it new and fresh and unique is YOU! There is only one YOU...only you can spin it your way.
If you find your voice and express your thoughts clearly with passion...It doesn't matter that "everyone else is doing it" or there are a billion folks about there doing it better...
..."Your people" will find you...Your people need to hear YOUR voice...
So just embrace your newbie-ness and start stinking up the internet with your newbie suckiness...ride that out...and your people will find you.
SBI...really helps...and BTW, I only have about 45 pages and about 10 visitors per day, so I'm still a newbie myself and I still suck.
